Why did Sheehan take a break from his career?

Lead vocalist Danny O’Donoghue announced last year that Sheehan was taking a break from The Script’s US tour to spend time with his family.

“It’s his story to tell, but yeah, I think if I can paraphrase, his kids need a father and his wife needs a husband,” said the singer.

It’s been the engine of The Script for a long time, [I told him] that “If you want to spend time with your family, you are more than welcome, and I insist you go and do it.”

He added that the group was supportive and described them as a “band of brothers” who “stick together no matter what”.
