"Our mum, five years ago, found out she had leukaemia and kidney failure in the same day," said Edward Grimes, one half of the singing duo.
"It was all a bit too much. The thing about it was that mum kept living her life.
"We were there when she passed and were able to hold her hand. We listened to Fleetwood Mac."
Edward's twin John added: "It's very disheartening to think she won't be at our weddings, won't meet our kids, but we always keep her spirit alive."
