For anyone who doesn’t know - George Donaldson actually passed on Wednesday March 12, 2014 at home in Glasgow Scotland after suffering a massive heart attack. He left his wife Carolyn and their daughter Sarah who was 13 years old. The person who posted the video included the date as 12/03/2014 which might be a bit confusing to most Americans. Some people may think it was December 03, 2014 and not 03/12/2014.
@@harryfunk5156 the British style is a bit confusing for most people in America. Honestly, I knew he had died in March, and yes I am American. Even I was a bit confused when I saw the way the date of his passing was written.. but thanks to Wikipedia my confusion was short lived. 😊
@@EvilJester119 not only is it the British style, but if you check my channel name, it is also the Aussie style (which is to be expected as we were found by the uk)
Could be he just hit the wrong number. Either way, RIP George, may your family be blessed and find peace in their time of need. and thank you for the wonderful memories ❤❤
@@brettallison5753 no it wasn’t. I’m aussie and we have day month year. It makes more logical sense than month day year and I think most of the world uses it like that, I may be wrong though
I know, it was so sad, I was so excited to meet him in the green room before the Brisbane Australia show in 2014, but he didn’t make it. I got to meet the rest of the band, but it wasn’t the same without him.😢
Iam Celtic Thunder Fan I was @ the hospital have a stroke when I heard thst George died of heart attack I was shocked It seems he died when I admitted @ the hospital I eas put in a ventilatorbalmost died I felt itvwas a miracle had 3 stroke
These “Celtic Thunder” Men are incredible musicians, with beautiful voices & vibrant personalities, who’s entertaining leaves you wanting more. There’s no acting involved here. When they perform, the audience can not only See, but they can Feel the love these men have for the music they sing, for each other, for their country, the great Country of Ireland, & for their audience. Part of the reason they’ve been & are still so successful, is that individually & as a group, they have learned how to draw their audience in… to make the audience part of the music, excitement & exhilaration of their show! They love what they do & it shows! I believe Celtic Thunder has & will continue to be one of the greatest musical groups of all times. George Donaldson, you are missed greatly! May you rest in peace. Their music 🎶 gives me Joy & it fills my soul to listen to them sing it. This type of music needs to be played more, listened to, danced to, taught, shared & sung to. Celtic Thunder ~ Thank You!
I remember seeing the first year’s performance live. Amazing and very sentimental. Grateful to have watched Bird w/out wings sung w/young Damian & George. ❤☘️
Best song ever❣️ I have it on my phone so I can see and hear it at least once a day. George’s song, My Boy, is also among my favorites. ALL of Celtic Thunder is GREAT‼️
I really miss seeing Celtic Thunder!!! I only got to see them on tv, unfortunately! I wish I could’ve gone to one of their shows when George was still alive! ❤
When they first started out they were amazing good-looking group I think there is 15 or 20 years ago whenever they first start now having watched him grow I miss George a lot he had a great voice Keith left Paul left but they have gone up better and beyond their music is fantastic and I will be a fan forever thank you for what you do
Yes he is. I saw him in 2015, and he is one of the nicest guys I’ve met. I actually met all of them, except George, he passed a few weeks before they came to Australia
Goedemorgen Mijn Lieve Vrienden van Celtic Tunder Members dank jullie wel 🎶🙏❤️zo bijzonder mooi deze muziek Like 6 .6 k 🙏🎶❤️🥰👍geniet van jullie supermuziek en .n schitterende dag met lieve groetjes terug Stien Ven xxxx👍❤️🥰🎶🙏🍀🦋🍰☕️🌹♥️♥️♥️🙏💕🙏🎶
I'm not sure Celtic Thunder is my go to without the great Keith Harkin and dear old George Donaldson and the rest. 😢 I wish Keith was dragged back. He's doing his own thing but aren't they all?
I'd be happy if they only reunited once a year,or couple of years! It'd be amazing if all of them did a reunion show together! Except of course, for George, & there's no-one who could replace him either! I suppose he could be represented in video. I remember seeing their 1st PBS show & have loved them every minute since! I loved the way they made the songs into a sort of play, the only way I can describe what I saw. I think I had an "elderly crush" on all of them! Watching Damian grow up has been wonderful! I love all their music, but if I had to pick a favorite, it'd be Place In The Choir! It always puts a smile on my face!
Fell in love with them while they were doing a PBS show. My pastor looks like George. Got to see them in Jacksonville, FL several years ago. Met Ryan, Neil and Emmett O'Hanlon after the show. So sweet!
We miss you Big George!! You will always be remembered! I'm so thankful I got to see them in early 2011 with all of the OG guys in Charleston with my mom. Its an experience i will always cherish ❤❤❤
Still all gorgeous & cheeky, & providing the most beautiful music ever. About time you came to Western Australia (preferably Albany or Bunbury) again - REMIND KEITH TO KEEP HIS PASSPORT UP TO DATE!!! PLEASE???
It's August 2023. Are they still singing as Celtic thunder? I know George died but what happened to the others. I didn't hear their music till 2018. I only got to hear about 20 songs and George was part of the group.
From my understanding, yes they are still performing, but Covid hit them pretty hard. They have taken a break but i think they have done a couple of other shows and stuff
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, ALOHA BE HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY FOREVER NAMASTÊ ❤️💕💖💕💖💕💕💕💖💕💖💕
I’ve made a part two. I generally only do more permanent members, and those who’ve been in the band long enough, but if you’d like, I can make a part three.

Thanks for clarifying for the Americans etc. you gotta be honest though day month year makes more sense than month day year.

I can't believe that George has been gone almost 10 years. Miss him very much
I know, it was so sad, I was so excited to meet him in the green room before the Brisbane Australia show in 2014, but he didn’t make it. I got to meet the rest of the band, but it wasn’t the same without him.😢
Me too ❤️
Iam Celtic Thunder Fan I was @ the hospital have a stroke when I heard thst George died of heart attack I was shocked It seems he died when I admitted @ the hospital I eas put in a ventilatorbalmost died I felt itvwas a miracle had 3 stroke

Also, can't believe it has been thst long. Really still miss him. He just seemed to bring them all together 😢
I know we can't get George back. He is missed so much every day. But I would love to see these guys all reunite,

That song touched my heart. They were pure magic! Just listened to it last night, as I do several times a year.

Love this group very much a huge fan
Such a group of handsome young men.

I wish so too. I was so close to meeting him in person, but he died before the Australian tour
It was truly a sad day... Still find him popping up in my mind... Loved their music and still listen... Prayers for him and the family...💕
Love these talented handsome men ❤
Thank you for all the wonderful music and memories! RIP George.
Love them and their wonderful music and voices. ❤
Love this group, xould listen to them all day.
I especially love Celtic Thunders rendition of " The Sound Of Silence " ❤
Love an need replays of George Donaldson, love Damian
Handsome men! RIP George
Miss George so much
Ich habe Celtic Thunder ,Anfang 2023 zufällig auf RUclips gesehen,und seither, höre ich mindestens einmal am Tag ihre Lieder .👏👏👏👏🫶🫶🫶🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
Son maravillosos a mí me pasó lo mismo
I think George was my favorite. I had never been affected by a celebrity passing until him; it took me off guard to be affected.
Keith is really the only one who looks weirdly different.
RIP George who was the glue of the group I think.
Agreed
They are still performing but without George, it isn’t as popular
Thats what happens when you look like a teen until your mid 30s.
Celtic Thunder is so inspirational and uplifting. George was a powerful presence, so sorry he was gone so young.
Met deze muziek gaat mijn hart sneller slaan . ZO PRACHTIG❤❤❤❤ 🙏🙏😢
When they first started out they were amazing good-looking group I think there is 15 or 20 years ago whenever they first start now having watched him grow I miss George a lot he had a great voice Keith left Paul left but they have gone up better and beyond their music is fantastic and I will be a fan forever thank you for what you do
I had just seen him in concert with my niece, and we waited outside so that , Em could get his autograph. He was so gracious and very kind.
Yes he is. I saw him in 2015, and he is one of the nicest guys I’ve met. I actually met all of them, except George, he passed a few weeks before they came to Australia
@@harryfunk5156 they are all a great group of guys. They always look like they are having such a great time together.
Keith is my favorite 💚💚💚💚💚
Their brilliant gifted singers
I love you guys ! I don't think any of you look different except of course Damian . lol He has ripened well .
Me too
Ah Keith has changed quite a bit but is still amazing
GREATEST GROUP OF MEN
GOD BLESS THEM ❤
MISS GEORGE TERRIBLY 😢
STAY WELL AND BE SAFE 🙏
TEXAS NANA 🤠
PSALM 91
I still miss George 😢
Excuse me XD You missed when Neil had all the face piercing! XD How the music has grown and changed with the group has been beautiful!
What? When?
God is it 10yrs we have been without George? Still miss him

Yo amo este grupo Irlandes tengo todas sus canciones bueno GeorgeQEPD. Cantaba muy lindo. 💜💜💜💜💜💜
They all still look incredible. Got turned onto the group by PBS. Had no idea about George. Incredibly sad, and so very young. RIP.
Emmet and Damian are so, so handsome.
Love this group 😍❤️❤️❤️
You missed Paul.
I made a part two cause the video would’ve been too long. Feel free to watch that!
They are all 🔥
Still all gorgeous & cheeky, & providing the most beautiful music ever. About time you came to Western Australia (preferably Albany or Bunbury) again - REMIND KEITH TO KEEP HIS PASSPORT UP TO DATE!!! PLEASE???
I’m not Celtic thunder I just made an edit of them, but I agree they do need to come back here to Australia. Last I saw them here was 2018.
Love yall ❤
Brilliant 👍
What about Paul???
If this video gets enough attention, I’ll do a part 2. When it reaches 2000 views
I’ll make a part 2 soon. It will be my next video
My exact thoughts after watching it! I mean one of these guys wasn't even a main one and Paul was lol, made no sense to me.
Wow! Still hot! 🔥

❤😢
When you made this I turned 10
Happy extremely late birthday then lol! Ur most likely the youngest viewer here
I was 4 when I started liking them, now I’m 11
They look as good as they ever did. Do they drink Irish coffee or something to keep from aging?😅 RIP George Donaldson.
Damn, age enhanced their beauty, Men!! Not fair 😅
Oh, my...amazing scenery! 😆💕
This is great, but what about the rest of them??
I’ve made a part two. Let me know who I didn’t cover, and I’ll make a part three.
❤️❤️❤️
Where is Paul Byrom, emmet O’Hanlon, Mike Paul, Daniel furlong?
I’ve made a part two. I generally only do more permanent members, and those who’ve been in the band long enough, but if you’d like, I can make a part three.
I Love you & your songs all
@@thida-sb7zr9is4v letting you know I am not Celtic thunder, which would be obvious if you checked my name or profile…

No singers have affected me they way these have ❤ not since my teens 😮and that was in the sixties 😂...

I love all of you!! ❤Miss George!! 😢

Why is it that Keith and Damian are the only ones that have aged at all? RIP George
