Nicky shared to his Instagram today that he found an image of his father just five months before his passing.
The singer revealed that while exploring “Kildare Street/School House Lane” on Google Maps, he unexpectedly came across the picture.
Nicky’s father was captured at the end of the street, outside his workplace, watching as the Google car drove past.
The 46-year-old shared the recording of the map to his Instagram and wrote: “Found my dad on Google maps outside his job in June 2009, enjoying the Dublin sunshine.”
He then added: “Crazy but great to see again. This is Summer 2009 and five months before my dad passed.
“Here he is standing on the corner of Kildare Street/School House Lane probably wondering what the hell that Google Car with all the cameras is driving past. @googlemaps.”
