By the early 1980s, he had formed the band \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAslan\u003c\/b\u003e, part of a new wave of acts coming out of \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIreland\u003c\/b\u003e. Repeatedly chewed up and spat out in the feeding frenzy to sign 'the next \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eU2\u003c\/b\u003e', they stuck to their principles. developed a loyal following, and their first album \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFeel No Shame\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e went to No 1 in their home country, showcased by the song ‘\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis Is\u003c\/b\u003e’, which Christy proudly acknowledges has become 'part of Ireland's DNA'.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e  \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e But just as America seemed ready to fall for Aslan, Dignam was battling with \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eheroin addiction\u003c\/b\u003e, perhaps caused by having been \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003esexually abused\u003c\/b\u003e as a child, and so he was kicked out of the band. In 1993, after five years in the wilderness, he rejoined Aslan, leading the outfit to a triumphant second coming, despite struggling with further drug problems and serious illness. In this \u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ecompelling memoir\u003c\/b\u003e, Dignam looks back over his long career, vividly bringing to life the good times and the bad, but always remembering that at the heart of it all are his songs and his family.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Readers Paradise Book Shop Wexford","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40149401764011,"sku":"","price":4.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0538\/7105\/0923\/products\/19_a57caa1f-0392-4c21-a7ec-ca8795b0e04f.jpg?v=1624272531","url":"https:\/\/readersparadise.pro\/products\/my-crazy-world","provider":"ReadersParadise","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
