Westlife stars pay tribute to Andy Williams

Mark Feehily

from boyband Westlife said:"

RIP Andy Williams,

this song is so beautiful & I've been listening

to it regularly for the last few years,"

as he shared Williams' track 'Love Story,

Where Do I Begin'.

I still have panic attacks, reveals Westlife star Mark

Tuesday October 30 2012

FORMER Westlife star Mark Feehily

has revealed how he is still haunted

by the bullying he suffered at school over his weight.

But the 31-year-old has

said that his later global success

with Westlife is proof

a bad childhood experience can be overcome.

Interviewed by clinical psychologist and

Irish Independent columnist

David Coleman for a new three-part RTE series

'Bullyproof', Feehily recounts

the long-term damage done by his tormenters.

"Some of the more intense moments are still with me,

very much,

in terms of the physical attacks and stuff like that.

"There were times at school

when I got attacked from behind or whatever

and there's times when

I'd be walking on the street to this day and I'll have

flashbacks and have

little moments of panic attacks," said Feehily.

The ex-boyband star believes

that his lack of self-confidence

as a teenager didn't help.

"If loads of people pick out things about you,

whether it's being chubby or whatever,

your own image of yourself becomes 'oh I'm just

the fat guy in the class' and nobody

wants to be the fat guy

in the class,

let's face it.

It just kind of eats away at you," said Feehily,

who has been working

on his own musical projects

as a songwriter and producer.

But pop stars can find themselves

bullied too as the singer,

who revealed he was gay in 2007,

went on to suffer years of abuse on Twitter.

He said: "I'm not talking about people

saying your music is crap.

"I'm talking about proper abuse.

I can't go into what they said but

some of the things that have been said to me on Twitter,

if someone walked up to me on the street

and said them to me . . . they would be in jail."

In the 'Bullyproof'

series, host Mr Coleman offers therapeutic

support to a number of teens and pre-teens,

and their families,

who have been affected by bullying --

either as a target or as a bully.

As part of the series,

Mr Coleman met youngsters who have

suffered at the hands of bullies

and begins the process of helping

them rebuild their shattered self-esteem.

He said one of the aims of

the series is to

enable people understand that bullying

does not have to be tolerated in silence.

Mr Coleman said: "If you

ignore bullying it doesn't go away."

He points out that bullying is not a form

of "toughening up" that children need to pass through

as some form of character development,

but rather it is an indication

that adults are not in charge.

WESTLIFE

superstar Mark Feehily last night became

the latest celebrity to back our

‘Delete Cyber Bullies’ campaign.
Singer Mark has admitted he was a victim of vicious

bullying in the past — and he

vowed to do what

he could to help kids who are tormented today.

Earlier this year,

Mark took part in an ISPCC campaign,

and posed for harrowing snaps

depicting his face badly bruised.

He told the Irish Sun: “It greatly upsets

me to think that there are children out

there who feel the only option left open

to them is to take their own life.”

Backing our campaign ... Mark Feehily

And he urged his fans to get behind

our campaign demanding

that Minister for Children Frances Fitzgerald

enforces laws to tackle the problem.

He added: “Things need to change

and we won’t stop until they do, but in the meantime

I urge parents, teachers, schools, sports coaches,

the media and anyone with

the ear of our youth to promote

the anti bullying message.

“And the Childline

number is 1800 666 666

where children can talk to trained counsellors

confidentially.”

Shane Filan turns down offer

to appear on I’m a Celebrity

Friday Nov 2 2012

Former Westlife

star Shane Filan has turned

down an offer to appear on

I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.

The 33-year-old will not be jetting

out to the jungle to take part in the UTV show.

According to the Irish Daily Star,

the singer turned down

the chance to appear on the show

in order to concentrate on his musical career.

His manager, Louis Walsh said:

“Reality TV is not his thing.

“He doesn’t want to be a celebrity,

he wants to be a recording artist!

“He’s concentrating on putting

a solo album together

and is looking for songs and talking to producers.

“He doesn’t have time to be eating insects in the jungle.

Louis also denied that Jedward

also turned down an I’m A Celebrity offer.

He said: “No,

I don’t know where those reports came from.

“It’s definitely not true.

They have received offers from

other reality shows

but they’re not doing them either. “

Shane Filan signs solo record deal
Westlife singer

Shane Filan

has landed a solo record deal,

six months after the boy band

played their final shows in Dublin.

Westlife's Shane Filan has landed a solo record deal.

The singer - who separated from his band mates

in June after completing a farewell tour -

is hard at work on

his first solo album after signing with London Records.

The 33-year-old star hopes to

release his first material early in 2013.
Former band mate Mark Feehily, 32,

is also set to go solo

and has signed with Paul McCartney's

manager to launch his career.

Westlife -

which also included Nicky Byrne and Kian Egan -

announced they were to split in October 2011,

and said an emotional goodbye to fans

at a final show in Dublin over the summer.

Nicky, 34, went on to appear in UK TV show

'Strictly Come Dancing', while Kian, 32,

is also hoping to launch a career in TV.

Shane - who has three children, Nicole,

Patrick and Peter, with wife Gillian -

has had to deal with some financial trouble recently,

as he was declared bankrupt

earlier this year with debts amassing £18 million.

The singer's

financial downfall came after he

and his brother

Finbarr's property development company,

Shafin Developments,

collapsed owing millions to

the Bank of Ireland and Ulster Bank.

He said at the time:

''Together with a team of financial and legal experts

I have spent months exploring

all possible alternatives to bankruptcy

but to no avail.

''I have worked long and hard to try to reduce my debts,

and I am devastated that it came to this conclusion.''

Westlife's Shane Filan tipped to represent

Ireland in the next Eurovision .

tipped to represent Ireland in the next Eurovision

Westlife Shane Filan..Former Westlife man

Shane Filan looks like

he'll be stepping into Jedward's shoes

by competing in

the next Eurovision Song Contest.

First, though,

the Sligo man will have to tackle

the national Eurosong competition to win

the nomination as Ireland's representative.

A public vote shouldn't

be too big an obstacle

for a guy who's played to a sold

out Croke Park on more than one occasion, though.

Pop guru Louis Walsh,

who has previously managed

Eurovision success stories Johnny Logan and Linda Martin,

is masterminding

the bid as a way to launch Filan's solo career.

Walsh's renewed interest in

the song contest was sparked

by Jedward's international success following their

two stints on

the show (even though they didn't do very well),

and also the success of

the recent Swedish

winner Loreen, whose song

'Euphoria' sold in advance of 2 million copies after it won

Nicky is working on a solo album!

Nicky Byrne: Me have another child?

You’ve got to be kidding…

Westlife star Nicky Byrne has got his hands full

He’s just become a dad for

the third time and Nicky Byrne

has admitted he and wife

Georgina Ahern are not having any more children.

The former Westlife singer, 35,

said he wants to focus

on his career and is on track to become

the Irish Robbie Williams.

Hot on the heels of ex-bandmate Shane Filan,

the star has near completed his first solo album.

Nicky said: “I’ve four tracks recorded and seven written.

““I’ve been reluctant to talk about it

but it’s happening. I’ve been really enjoying

the process as there hasn’t been

people on my back about deadlines.”

Like Shane, Nicky has employed Wayne

Hector who wrote almost 30 of Westlife’s hits,

contributing to seven No1s,

including World Of Our Own and Flying Without Wings.

The singer said: “I’ve been working on it

for the last four months and I’m really delighted

with the stuff we’ve done so far.

“It’s fun, a bit cheeky chappy, quirky.

A bit of craic really. In saying

that I’m very serious about it, it’s great quality.

“I’m definitely working with the right people for me.

I haven’t signed to a label

or anything like that yet

I’m just happy to see the album being made.”

Chatting on the phone

yesterday while waiting to pick up

six-year-old twin sons Rocco and Jay from school,

Nicky said he’s been run

off his feet since Westlife split just

over two years ago after 14 years together.

And now the proud father of three

after the birth of baby Gia last month.

He gushed: “I’m doing the school run

as Georgina can’t drive for another week or so.

She’s a dream baby, a brilliant little girl.

“She’s really calm and I’m totally smitten.”

But the star said he has done

his bit for humanity and will

not be having any more kids. He laughed:

“We feel incredibly lucky with the three

we have so that’s us definitely done now.”

The doting dad said he’s been keeping

an eye on his father-in-law,

former Taoiseach Bertie Ahern since

a man tried to attack him with a crutch

in a Dublin pub last week.

He added: “I talk to Bertie all the time.

He’s fine. It’s just one of those things.”

Nicky, who took part in Strictly

Come Dancing last year, will be

back on stage next week to host

the Cheerios Childline Concert 2013.

He said: “It’ll be funny to be there as

Shane is performing but I’ll be

supporting him from the sidelines.”

And while Shane and Nicky share

the O2 stage on Wednesday,

albeit in different capacities,

Kian Egan will be sweating

it out in the jungle on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity.

“I think Kian has a great chance of winning.

I know if I was stuck in the jungle I’d want him on my team.

“He’s up for a challenge and he would

just suck it up and get on with tasks especially if it means

the rest of the gang will get dinner.

It’s the perfect show for him really, he’s very adventurous.”

Kian Egan Says ‘Never Say Never’ to Westlife Reunion

Kian Egan Says ‘Never Say Never’ to Westlife Reunion As He Impresses in the Jungle

one comment

Carrie

Nov 19, 2013

It’s only been a matter of days since the brand new batch of celebrities hit the Australian jungle, but it seems that former Westlife star Kian Egan is fast becoming one of most popular contestants.

Despite entering the jungle with odds of 10/1, they have now fallen to an impressive 7/2, making him the second favourite behind the lovable Joey Essex. The Mirror has also reported that according to one bookie, over half of the bets made so far have been in favour of the Voice of Ireland judge. And it’s not surprising that the singer is already proving a good match for the jungle, seeing as he prepared wisely ahead of his challenging trip.

Kian fasted ahead of his trip to the jungle so that he’d be used to feeling hungry

According to the Independent, the singer began fasting before the show began so that we would be more accustomed to doing without food when he got into the jungle and wouldn’t be as affected by the cravings and the hunger as the other contestants. Clever boy! Kian has also started bonding with his fellow celebs despite being just a few days in, giving them all the details of the crazy early days in Westlife!

Kian described himself and his Westlife band mates as “first class lunatics” during their early years together

He described himself and former band mates Shane Filan, Nicky Byrne, Mark Fehily and Brian McFadden as “first class lunatics” during their first few years together, saying: “The funny thing is that people say you’re all so clean cut, but we were not really that clean cut. We go out on the rip, fall over the place and get drunk and go out real late and drink a good amount of alcohol between us.” Kian also had another revelation about Westlife, telling the contestants that he would “never say never” to a Westlife reunion in the future, despite Shane Filan admitting to us earlier this month that “we finished the band because it was the end of Westlife, and now we’re moving on with our lives”. We’ll watch this space for now!

Catch Kian Egan on ‘I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here’ on 3e at 9pm daily. Check out our full interview and shoot with Shane Filan in the December issue of RSVP, on shelves now!
