Sharing that Alan passed away on April 25, Sophie told followers her “precious” dad died “suddenly but so peacefully whilst he slept”.
Describing her dad as her “absolute king”, Sophie wrote of “a deep unimaginable pain I cannot put into words”.
“Until we meet and sing together again. Goodnight Dad,” she added, including broken-hearted emojis among her words.

Sophie also shared a quote about grief in her upload that reads: “Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.”

Sophie did not reveal her father’s cause of death. However, the mum-of-two told fans in April her dad spent three weeks in hospital.
She wrote at the time: “My dad has never been blessed, shall we say, with fantastic health, from his chest, his lungs, his heart. He’s always struggled.”
