Back in the early part of July 2022, one of the many tribute bands to play at the two day ‘Liberty Music Festival’ event on Liberty Square in Thurles, Co. Tipperary was “Slippery When Wet”, truly the Ultimate Bon Jovi Tribute Band, featuring the magnificent voice of lead singer Colin (Collie) Brophy, which drew a crowd of over 2000 people into the area.
The Ultimate Bon Jovi Tribute Band, which is being eagerly awaited to appear between Saturday afternoon, July 6th, 2024, and Sunday afternoon, July 7th, 2024 inclusive, sadly will return, but without Mr Collie Brophy.
On Tuesday last, we were saddened to hear of the passing of Mr Brophy, while in the care of Medical 1, Pine Ward, University Hospital, Waterford.
Beloved son of Cormac and the late Margo, the passing of Mr Brophy is sadly missed by his daughter Abbie, aunts Marie and Nan, uncle Anto, extended relatives, neighbours and a wide circle of friends.
Requiescat in Pace.
