Musician Imelda May has been reunited with her parents for the first time in “almost a year”.
The Irish singer-songwriter, 46, shared a black and white photograph on Twitter, alongside a poignant message revealing her mother, who has dementia, had recognised her.
After early Dec flight, Isolation and negative COVID test I got to see my beloved parents. It’s been almost a year. Dementia’s stealing my mother but she knew me “You’re here at last!!! I’ve been looking for you everywhere! That feels better”. It sure does.
Happy Christmas. ❤️⭐️ pic.twitter.com/kxoF2E2Ewh— Imelda May (@ImeldaOfficial) December 25, 2020

May recently released an album of poetry, titled Slip Of The Tongue, which tackles themes including lockdown, domestic abuse and family.
It also features a poem, written during the pandemic, called Stay.
