Charlie Bird dead after brave health battle as tributes paid to RTE broadcasting legend

Daniel is currently in Australia touring and took a break during the show to speak of his sadness at the passing of Charlie, who he deemed “an inspiration”. “I just can’t believe that he is gone albeit we knew this day would come,” he said. “I only know Charlie from a little over two years ago but I know him, like everybody else, all my life.” Daniel spoke about meeting Charlie on the Late Late Show where he gave him his rosary beads which meant a lot to Charlie.

“He was talking about doing Croagh Patrick and I wanted him to know I would support him in it but I didn’t want to go into his space, it was his journey and nothing to do with me,” he said. “I felt so grateful that I did what I did. I didn’t want to push religion on him, it was just something that was important to me that I could give to him hoping that he would get strength from it. I just never imagined that it would mean so much to him.
