The 'Cant' Stay Young' star is living in London and has been tweeting about the chaos
At grim times like these, how often do you stop and think about the well-being of our most beloved pop stars? Luckily, the London-based Niall Breslin is perfectly fine, the ex-Blizzards man having just tweeted HP's Stuart Clark "all good mate . In chalk farm . It's very sad to see a stunning city tainted by this."
Indeed, from the scenes he has been describing, we can only extend our best wishes and sympathies to the good people of London and Britain.
Bressie has been tweeting since last night about the extraordinary, almost apocalyptic events taking place in the British capital.
Here's the timeline of events from the man himself. You can catch updates here.
It all started with Bressie 'looking forward' to his gig at the Roundhouse last night:
