“Celtic Thunder is an Irish singing group and stage show known for its eclectic, theatrical style show.

Page.

“Since the original group’s formation in 2007, Celtic Thunder has released twelve albums as well as ten live performances on DVD, three of which were split into two releases.”

Its lead singer, George Donaldson died of a heart attack on 12 March 2014 in his home in Glasgow, according to Wiki.
