Eurovision legend Johnny Logan has been left heartbroken at the death of his brother, as he told his fans that there is a \u201chole in our hearts that will never heal.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 69 year old took to social media on Wednesday, 1 November, to announce the passing of Michael Sherrard.<\/p>\n

Michael\u2019s sad death comes exactly six years after the death of their younger brother, Eamon, in 2017.<\/p>\n

For many years, Michael had been living in Manchester and working as Johnny\u2019s musical director and guitarist.<\/p>\n

Taking to Facebook, Johnny told his fans that it was with a \u201cbroken heart\u201d that he announced the news.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Johnny wrote: \u201cIt\u2019s with a broken heart that I have to announce the passing of my brother Michael Sherrard. He passed away in the company of his three beautiful children. I was with him the day before.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is survived by his children Chloe, Ellie and Nathaniel, his grandson Henry, our sister Fiona, our cousin Miggie, myself and our extended family.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former Eurovision winner continued: \u201cMost of you have known Michael over the years, and you will know how much we loved each other.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a hole in our hearts now that will never heal. I wish I could say more, but right now, words fail me. He passed away six years to the day since we lost our younger brother Eamonn.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll see you again, my lovely brothers, Michael and Eamonn, with our parents, but not yet. I write this with a broken heart and tears in my eyes. Love always, Sean.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Fans were quick to fill the comments section with their own tributes to Michael, with one person writing: \u201cMy deepest and sincere condolences to you and your family, Sean.\u201d<\/p>\n

While another commented: \u201cDeepest sympathies on your loss Se\u00e1n. Our thoughts are with you and your family at this sad time. May Mick rest in peace.\u201d<\/p>\n

Someone else penned: \u201cI am so sorry for you and your family's loss of Michael, he has given us all so many laughs and great music over the years, I will miss him, condolences Sean to you and the family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, another said: \u201cDear Sean, I'm so sorry to hear that. I remember very well the concerts you played for my agency more than 15 years ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cMichael was the first on site and took care of everything. A nice and funny guy. My condolences.Ralph.\u201d<\/p>\n
