Kian's agony as dad dies,

Pop babe Jodi Albert was last night comforting her husband, Kian Egan, who has been left devastated by his fathers death.

Kevin Egan passed away yesterday afternoon surrounded by his family, a year after he was diagnosed with a brain tumour.

Kian and his family had been keeping a bedside vigil, by Kevin's bedside, after he fell into a coma a few days ago.

Jodi wrote on her twitter yesterday, "Loves her husband so much and hopes to bring him happier times. "

Kian's Father Loses Battle With Cancer

By Kathryn Rogers

Westlife star Kian Egan is in mourning after his father Kevin lost his battle with cancer yesterday morning.

Kian (29) and his family had been maintaining a vigil by their dad's bedside in Sligo after he slipped into a coma several days ago.

His dad was diagnosed with a brain tumour in Beaumont hospital in Dublin last year.

Kian's grieving mum Patricia, his three sisters Marielle, Vivienne and Fenella and three brothers, Tom, Gavin and Colm are now organising the funeral.

Devastated

The pop star was devastated when his dad was too unwell to travel to Barbados for his wedding to stunning pop singer Jodi Albert in May.

However, his father insisted that none of the plans for the big day were changed and the couple were surrounded by the rest of his family when they wed on May 8.

Kian paid tribute to his ill dad Kevin - an electrician by profession - at the wedding.

He told the crowd: "I would like us to remember all those who aren't able to be with us here today, especially my dad who is in my thoughts."

Jodi acknowledged her husband's loss yesterday.

Fame

She wrote on her Twitter site: "Loves her husband so much and is so lucky to have him in her life... hopes to bring him happier days."

Kian has always been close to his dad and has said his music-loving parents set him on the road to fame.

Kian's dad looses cancer battle

Westlife star Kian Egan was devastated last night after his father died following a lengthy battle with cancer.

The pop star was inconsolable, when dad Kevin slipped away on Saturday at the Siigo general hospital, after his health deteriorated over the past week.

A close pal of Kian said "The whole family are rallying together and helping each other through it "


Heartbroken Kian Egan was last night being comforted, by his wife Jodi Albert, as he comes to terms with the death of his father.

The star dashed to his beloved fathers bedside, last week when his health took a turn for the worse.

A close friend said last night, "Kian is absolutely devastated, All of his family idolised Kevin, and looked up to him.

"They are all supporting each other, The Egans are a very close family, and they will all be there for each other at this very sad time. "

Kevin had been battling cancer for for nearly a year, and his family were with him beside his bedside, when he slipped away at the Sligo general hospital on Saturday night...

Only two months ago he wrote a touching tribute to Kian, which was read at hi spectacular wedding in Barbados to Jodi...

He was to ill to make the ceremony, but urged Kian to go ahead with the celebration, and "have the time of his life".

Kians mum Patricia was by Kevin's side along with Kians brothers, Tom, Gavin and Colm, and his sisters, Fenella, Marielle and Vivienne.

The singer has always maintained a an extremely, close relationship with his dad, as he has toured with Westlife for the past 1-0 years.

Memories :

He regularly flew his parent to concerts, to spend time with them as he continued to live in SLigo, as the band hit the big time.

A family friend added yesterday "Its no surprise that Kevin was a family man, so its going to hit them very hard. "

Jodi is being an absolute to rock to Kian and his family, and all his brothers and sisters are getting lots of support, and goodwill from their extended families and friends.

All the children want to be there for their mum, to help her through the difficult days.

Kian's bandmates and manager Louis Walsh have also rallied round to extend their sympathies.

Westlifer's Father Loses Cancer Fight

Kian Was At Dad's Bedside As He Slowly Slipped Away

Westlife star Kian Egan watched his beloved father Kevin die from cancer yesterday.

By Fiona Wynne and Jennifer O'Brien

The brave dad of seven had slipped into a come last week and was surrounded by his family when he passed away in Sligo hospital.

Kian, 29, his mum Patricia, and his six siblings are said to be "devastated but coping".

A source close to the pop singer said: "Kevin has been sick for quite some time so the family have had a chance to come to terms with things as much as possible.

"That said, they are all devastated and upset that their much-loved father and husband has passed away after a brave fight."

Recently retired ESB worker Kevin was first rushed to Beaumont Hospital in Dublin in September 2008. The family revealed a short time later that he had the Big C.

They have ever since remained very private about the details of his illness.

Doting

The keen golfer, in his mid-60s, was too ill to travel to Kian's wedding to former Hollyoaks babe Jodi Albert, 25, in Barbados in May.

But the doting dad was determined his absence wouldn't ruin his son's big day - and he sent an emotional message from his hospital bed in his native Sligo.

It's believed Kevin fell into a coma on Tuesday and the family had been keeping vigil at his bedside ever since.

Kian, who is on a year off from Westlife, told pals he's greatful he got to spend quality time with his dad before he lost him.

The source said: "Had Kian been working as normal with Westlife he could've been anywhere in the world. He would not have been able to be at home with his dad and his family for the past year.

"He appreciated the fact he had that opportunity to be with his father during the final weeks.

"Kian is one of seven and the family is very close and they will all help and support each other and their beloved mother."

Support

"Jodi has been with Kian as much as possible, too, and while she was away in Jersey recording her band's first single earlier in the week, she is sure to have jetted in to be with the Egans."

In May, Kian's mum Patricia, his three brothers Tom, Gavin and Colm and his sisters Marielle, Vivienne and Fenella attended his wedding in the Carebbean.

An emotional Kian said his father was the first person he called after he tied the knot.

And during the speeches Tom read out a letter that Kevin has sent.

It read: "I'm sorry I can't be there. It wasn't for the want of trying. But the nurses here in Sligo are keeping me busy. Jodi, I'm delighted to welcome you into our large and colourful family.

"Even though I am not there in body I am very much in spirit."
