Don't Believe All You Read About Us
Check out our column for the truth about our lifes
Hi Kian here,
FIRSTLY, let me clear up a wild rumour that has been doing the rounds since
it appeared in a British paper last Sunday.
According to the newspaper, Westlife had sacked our co-manager Ronan
Keating.
Let me tell you that that report was a load of baloney. Westlife haven't
sacked Ronan. He's still our co-manager and we're delighted with all the
support he has given us along the way.
So many stories appear about Westlife and a lot of them are totally untrue.
So take some of them with a pinch of salt. If you want to know what is true
about life in Westlife, just keep on checking out our column here in the
Sunday World.
IT was a night of magic on Thursday night as we brought a Westlife mini-show
to Dublin for our Christmas TV special.
There is nothing to compare with performing for a home audience - no matter
how big or small. And Thursday was a really intimate gig where the audience
got up close and personal with us at Dublin's popular Temple Theatre.
We literally just had 1,000 fans there, but with the enthusiastic way they
responded to our performance we felt sure that there must have been 20,000
out there.
Don't worry if you weren't one of the fans who managed to get tickets for
the show. You can see it on RTE on Christmas Day.
You'll see and hear us performing nine songs: If I Let You Go, Seasons In
The Sun, I Have A Dream, My Love, Lay My Love On You, You Make Me Feel,
Flying Without Wings, My Girl and our Christmas single, What Makes A Man.
We were also joined on the show by Louis's new girl group, Bellefire, and
you are going to love those girls. They were just sensational. We were blown
away by their performance. And their song was written by U2, so you don't
get much better than that!
Those of you who went to see Ronan's show at the Point recently will be
familiar with another new Irish group called Reel. Watch out for these
lads - they're going to be huge. They are performing on this year's Smash
Hits Roadshow and I really do think they have a great chance of winning the
best new act on the tour.
SO what else have we been up to? Well, as you know, we been away in Japan
and Asia and while we were in that part of the world we shot the video for
our single, Lay My Love On You, which is set to be released in March.
We had a fantastic time on that trip and the fans were incredible. They went
absolutely wild for us, so it looks like we are going to be returning to
that territory because the demand is certainly there.
Our feet had barely touched the ground at home when it was straight into a
big video shoot in London for our Christmas single, What Makes A Man.
For us lads, it was a dream video because it involved us all arriving at a
house in all kinds of transport. I'm in a Corvette car; Mark is in a Lotus;
Shane is in a super Aston Martini Nicky turns up on a Harley Davidson and
Bryan arrives in a helicopter, what else! That was a lot of fun, so watch
out for it on MTV from tomorrow.
