STARS from the world of sport and showbiz have paid tribute to Ciaran Keating - the older brother of Boyzone's Ronan who died at the weekend.

The Mayo-based dad was travelling to a match with his wife Ann Marie to see their son Ruairi play for Cork City against Sligo Rovers when the accident happened.

Boyzone star Keith Duffy led the tributes on social media for Ciaran, 57, who was killed in a two-vehicle crash on Saturday afternoon in Swinford.

Keith posted a photo of a candle on his Instagram account and wrote: "I can't comprehend the loss and devastation of my brother [Ronan Keating] and all the Keating family.

"All my family are praying and thinking of our Keating family right now.

"Ciaran, from the early days you toured with us you were a great guide on our journey in the early days.
