Ciaran, a car salesman in his 50s, had been driving to watch his son Ruairi, 28, play football for Cork City when the tragedy occurred.

Ronan is a coach on this year’s The Voice of Germany alongside Giovanni Zarrella, Bill & Tom Kaulitz and Shirin David.

Contestant Johann Bardowicks took to the piano on the show recently to sing Coldplay’s Fix You in front of the judges.

The singer moved everyone watching and brought Ronan to tears as he watched the emotional performance.

Johann received a standing ovation from the judges.

Ronan shared the clip of Johann’s performance and said: “Beautiful. Tears for my brother.”

The Dubliner recently said he’s “struggling” as he opened up about the heartbreaking loss of his beloved brother.

Ronan appeared on Loose Women earlier this month and spoke about how the tragic loss has affected him.

He said: “We’re struggling to be honest. It’s been a tough few months dealing with it, because it was so quick, so immediate, so fast, unexpected.

“We’re still figuring it all out. What we are doing is, we’re talking to each other and we have each other to lean on, and that’s really, really important.

“It’s all about communication, talking about it, but also having somebody who’s going through something that feels the same, that you feel they understand what I’m going through.

“That’s a big part of it, because a lot of people come up to you on the street and say, ‘So sorry to hear about your brother, I lost my dad’ or ‘I lost my mum’ or ‘I lost my brother.

‘SO MUCH PAIN’

“You know, it’s their way of sharing and trying to be on a level with you and understand.

“But you’re in your own head, you’re in so much pain, you’re in so much pain.

“It’s just like, ‘You don’t understand. You don’t understand what I’m going through’.”

Ronan has one sister, Linda, and two other brothers, Gerard and Gary.

The 46-year-old explained how himself and his siblings have been supporting one another.

He said: “To have my siblings there, especially in the couple of weeks after, that we were just rallying around each other.

“We have a WhatsApp group the four of us, and we talk every day, check in, ‘How are you doing today, how are you feeling?’.

“And my bro might be going through a tough time and he’s very vocal about it and I love that.

“He wouldn’t have been in the past, he wouldn’t have been as vocal about how he’s feeling but he is now.

“It’s been a very tough few months but having each other as siblings, it’s been really important.”
