Ronan Keating has spoken out for the first time after the tragic death of his brother Ciaran.
The Boyzone star returned to the stage on Sunday night, where he said he and his family have been going through a tough time together.
Ahead of the performance, he didn't know whether he would be able to go ahead with it or not. He played at the Uptown Festival at Blackheath Common in London.

Breaking his silence on the devastating news, Ronan said: “I didn’t know if I was going to be here tonight or not.”
“It’s been quite a time for our family, so thank you so much for giving me this moment. We’ll get through this together.”
Ciaran was on his way to his son Ruari’s football match earlier this month, when he was due to line out for Cork City FC, when he was involved in a car crash in Mayo.
Ronan also performed a touching song at his brother’s funeral earlier this month.
He sang his track ‘This Is Your Song’, which was written after the death of their mother Marie back in 1998.
He said: “I shouldn’t be singing it in these circumstances, but we are and we will.”
Ronan's gig comes after his wife Storm also shared some poignant words about grief.
Taking to Instagram, she shared a quote which read: "And she'd be lying if she said she did not sometimes think about the could-have-been moments and the should-have-been memories."
