Michael Flatley's wife, Niamh O'Brien, has died at the age of 52.
The Lord Of The Dance star shared a heartbreaking statement to Instagram on Monday.
"My heart is broken. I have lost my beautiful wife, Niamh, and my best friend," he wrote.
"My gorgeous bride of 20 years has gone to the Lord in Heaven. She was the most loving mother, wife and person, and our lives will never be the same without her.
"Thank you for all the love and kindness you have shown us. Please keep Niamh, Michael St James, and our family in your thoughts and prayers. Michael."
O'Brien passed away peacefully in hospital in Dublin, "following a period of illness", a representative for Flatley confirmed.
