RONAN Keating got emotional as he posted a touching tribute to his mum Marie to mark the anniversary of her death.
The 44-year-old posted a new video speaking to his followers and opened up about how he was feeling 24 years after Marie passed away from metastatic breast cancer.
He said: "24 years ago today I lost my mum. My family and I went through the most horrible situation losing our mum.
"Marie Keating, she died 24 years ago. She was 51 years of age, she died of cancer.
"She was our best friend, she was a legend, she was as cool as they come. The best mum."
Sharing his heartbreak over being unable to share so much of his life with Marie, Ronan continued: "She never got to meet her grandchildren, she's got so many incredible grandchildren.
"It's heartbreaking that she never got to meet them. I wonder about the conversation I'd have with my mum today, about my children, about my life.
"So many things in the 24 years that I've been through and I've done that I'd love to share with mum.

"When your mum puts her arms around you and says 'everything's going to be OK' – that feeling. I don't get that anymore and there's nothing like that feeling.
"When you're going through a tough time and your ma tells you 'everything's going to be alright'. Well then you think it's going to be alright. That's what happens."
Ronan was just 20 when Marie passed away and, along with his siblings Ciarán, Gerard and Gary and Linda and his father Gerry, he created the Marie Keating Foundation.
The Boyzone singer and wife Storm are parents to Cooper, four, and one-year-old Coco, and he's also dad to Jack, Missy and Ali.
