Daniel O’Donnell has expressed fears that Brexit will affect his future music tours to the UK.
The Donegal singer has revealed that he was always against Brexit and is hoping for a peaceful outcome to negotiations.
Daniel says he worries about how the UK’s split from the EU will affect his career as he tours across the continent. Daniel is currently performing a series of shows in Branson, Missouri in the US.
He told BBC Radio Ulster: “It (Brexit) shouldn’t affect people south of the border but it’s going to affect us. I think it will affect us very much in an economic way, it has to, because there’s such a trade thing with the UK and Ireland and there’s such movement between the two countries. And I know very little about economics but it’s just how I see it.
“I would hate to think that every time we go to England you have a whole big hoo-haa of passports and all them little things too.”
Daniel said he was personally disappointed with the UK’s vote to leave the EU and wouldn’t rule out supporting a second referendum “if the majority felt they made the wrong decision.”
Daniel, who is about to release a new album for Christmas, said he hopes that Brexit will not affect peace in Northern Ireland.
He said: “The one thing we must be absolute about is that it never goes back to the Troubles because of something like Brexit. It would be a pure tragedy.”
Daniel O’Donnell’s new album ‘Walking In The Moonlight’ is out on 30th November and available to pre-order now.
