SINGER DANIEL O’DONNELL has asked the public for their prayers after confirming that his wife, Majella, has been diagnosed with breast cancer.
In a statement on his website, O’Donnell said: “I’m sorry to inform you that Majella was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. She is undergoing treatment at present and as it was found in the early stages we are very hopeful of a full recovery.”
“I know that many of you would like to send your good wishes to Majella but at this time we cannot deal with a lot of mail so we would ask you not to send cards or letters, all we need are your prayers to help us through this difficult time and we know we can rely on that.”
Majella O’Donnell, née McLennan, is a businesswoman and singer from Thurles, Co Tipperary. She has married O’Donnell in 2002 and has two adult children from a previous marriage.

Nice to live long but only in good health…..People are living now typically into their 90′s but often the last decade is in bad heath and house bound….
@John003:
Bad diet and too much alcohol.
No moderation in things anymore.
@Niccolo Saccho: or just dementia quite often. Most older people have eaten quite healthy as the range of crap around today simply didn’t exist back when they were younger. Convenience food etc didn’t exist. You just eat your meat veg and potatoes
Isn’t it crazy to think that the entire world’s population has been replaced since he was born. Imagine knowing that there isn’t a single person still living on this planet, who was around when you were born.
And as for the experiences he has had, the things he has lived through, and seen from 1900s til now. What a guy! RIP.
Apparently his mother and father are heartbroken.
If only we could all live that long…..
@The Dublinist: Only if you are fit and have your own mind. Dreadful otherwise.
@The Dublinist: I don’t think I could handle your comments for that length of time…..
@Peadar Ó Gréacháin: Thanks very much.
@The Dublinist: the government wouldn’t want the pension bill
He had a good innings all the same.. (never understood that comment)
@Maggie O’Connor: Cricket!!
@Maggie O’Connor: Still cricket…
The Spanish would do anything for a day off. The most work shy Western Europeans.
@Fabio Dillon: and the longest living; there may be something in that too..
@Fabio Dillon: Only fools and horses work.
Man not well
@Philip Farrelly: he’s not not well he’s dead.
Now that was witty Phil..
Was it Billy Connolly who said something along the lines of, “They say jogging every day adds an extra 10 years to your life, what they don’t say is the extra 10 years come when you’re stuck in a bed and pi**ing yourself”?
Every oldest person must be cursed with bad luck – they never hold the title for long
Was his passing sudden?
have your say
