Conor McGregor had to cancel a US TV interview minutes before he was about to go on air after a heartbreaking call.
The UFC fighter was set to announce his company's donation to first responders on US morning chat shows when he received the phone call.
The Notorious was informed that his auntie Ann Moore had sadly passed away suddenly.
McGregor said on Instagram: "A great day. A proud day, I brought my family with me to the studio. Sitting in the chair about to beam live to all the U.S morning talk shows, I get a phone call telling me that my lovely little auntie Anne had passed away.
"I couldn’t go live anymore. My poor little friendly loving auntie. My mother’s sister. This stupid fucking virus. What the fuck is happening. I took my family to bull island. Looked out at the sea. Took a deep breath. Thank fuck! Lord thank you Stay tight people! We are all we got.️ Rest in Peace Anne Moore I love you."
The star went on to say that he was confident that Ireland and the world can beat this virus.
The Dubliner added: "Ireland you amazing, amazing country. I believe we have this virus contained. And through this containment, we actually may have gone and contained them all.
"The good habits we will have now gained from this wild covid-19 attack will see us too strong in future. Hand hygiene. Touching of own face hygiene. Consistent thorough cleaning of handled areas hygiene.
"What we should really be all doing anyway. I have always been on with my hand hygiene. But not enough. If I think of all the people approaching to shake hands and what not. I often get people say to me please I don’t want a picture, just let me shake your hand.
"And I’m like yes friend thank you. As it’s more efficient than taking a full picture. But it’s too careless. And too frequent. Touching my own hand to my face as well.
"Too unaware of the frequency I’d do it. Until now. I’d train my ass off, to the point of low immunity. It’s inevitable with the intensity of the training.
"The immune system will be tested. I would float around in this manner, and always end up catching little colds and flus. I feel bullet proof right now though! I’m switched on like a motherfucker now.
"Stay vigilant on our personal hygiene people. And our personal space. God speed to us all."
