"George Donaldson had been the face of the band Celtic Thunder since he joined in 2007, but now the 46-year-old has died after suffering a massive heart attack.
Donaldson died Wednesday at his home in Glasgow, Scotland. The self-taught musician joined the group Celtic Thunder six years ago after auditioning for producer Sharon Browne, and served as the principal singer since then.
Donaldson was remembered as an accomplished flute and guitar player whose love of Celtic music came from his late father Bernard. The late George Donaldson said one of the greatest achievements of his life was playing for his father at the Celtics opening match of the 2000 season at Celtic Park in Glasgow."

This is a tremendous loss to us all. We will surely miss George's musical talent and charisma that he shared on the stage and in his recordings. When George smiled singing on stage, he had an uplifting effect that made you forget about the world's troubles. We certainly are going to miss him very much...
