Imelda May has said her "heart is broken" after her beloved dog Alfie sadly died.
The musician said her "best friend" passed away after 13 years as she shared a picture of them cuddling on social media.
Imelda tweeted: "My heart is broken. My darling Alfie is gone. How I long to hold him as I did for 13 glorious years. My boy, my best friend, my joy, my companion, my love. Rest in Peace. I will love you forever Alfie."
The songstress received plenty of support from her fans with one saying there's "no pain like it".
Another fan wrote: "Am so sorry to read this- they really are the most special, loving partners in our lives."
The singer had been in much better form earlier in the day wishing Bono a happy 60th and looking forward to celebrations before her companion passed away.
She said on Twitter: "Happy Sexy 60th my dearest Bono. Have the best day! We will celebrate as soon as we can. Get those margaritas ready."
