As reported by the British newspaper independentSheehan in 2022 had decided to take a break from the American legs of the tour of The Script: “It’s up to him to tell his story but, yes, I think I can put it this way: the children needed their father and the wife her husband,” she explained at the time Danny O’Donoghue, most likely referring to the illness that may have forced the artist to interrupt his commitments. “He’s been the engine of The Script for so long, so I told him ‘if you want to take some time for your family, you’re more than welcome to, and I insist you go and do it.'”

The Irish pop rock band was formed in Dublin in 2001 and consisted of Danny O’Donoghue (vocals, piano, keyboards, bass and synthesizer), Mark Sheehan (guitar) e Glen Power (drums). The success of the band had come thanks to the first single We Cry, released in April 2008, which had immediately obtained numerous awards, entering the charts of best-selling songs in various countries. Own We Cry had allowed the Irish band to make themselves known even outside the United Kingdom, allowing their next single, The Man Who Can’t Be Movedto receive an equally great success: the single, released in September 2008, was in fact immediately positioned in second place in the British, Irish and Danish charts.
