So glad to see him and looking so well too! I’ve been expecting the worse especially when he didn’t make an appearance for at least one song at the Royal Albert Hall.
Same. My thinking was that he would appear for maybe FWW, maybe do one or two of the arena shows, but the fact that he didn't appear at the Royal Albert made me thank something was seriously wrong. I do still think there is/was something seriously wrong, maybe C like we thought, but he is maybe finishing treatment or something, hence why he's appearing a little bit more. I don't know, but it is really good to see him
Yes and like he said it’s easier to sit on a chair and play music for a few hours than perform night after night for months on end.

Why couldn’t they have waited for him then?
I think hes not well enough to tour.
Yeah and it’s an anniversary tour so they’d have to wait another 5 years or just make it a greatest hits tour whenever he was ready.
I’ve met Shane twice. Once with Westlife, once without. Both at album signings so you would think they would have their game face on.
When I met Westlife It was for their greatest hits album signing and they were doing a whistle stop uk tour. We were the first stop. There was about 50 girls there maybe more. We had camped out on the city street overnight in November which the lads knew as they had been tweeting about it. They turned up late. (After 12) and when we went in they were sat in silence. There was an atmosphere. If they lads had just had a big argument I would not have been shocked.
They signed the albums in silence. It was so weird. Only Nicky spoke to us and said hello. I think Mark uttered a hello as did Kian but it was very obvious they didn’t want to be there. I’m not saying I expected a really long interaction, I didn’t but it was just very weird overall. If this was me bumping into them on a night out I could understand the animosity but this was their job, they could barely crack a smile. My friends noticed it too.
The time I met Shane at his second solo album signing. This time I took my then boyfriend now Husband along. I had just had abdominal surgery so probably shouldn’t have been out but it was Shane. When we got to the front of the queue I was sore, very tired. Shane was sat at a desk signing albums and you could stand beside him and lean over ans get a photograph as he signed it. When it was my turn I asked him very politely if he could stand up so I didn’t have to lean, explained I was post surgery. He tutted and sighed as If I had just asked him to run a marathon. It made me feel about two inches tall.
I’ve met a few famous people, by far Shane was the worst of them.
Yeah, a tour is really draining. Mark's said before that he has a tour weight and a recording weight cause he loses so much when touring.
This makes me sad. I've commented before about the numerous times i've met them (And the wives) and Shane has always been nothing short of a sweetheart. I actually ran into him and Gill in a pub in Sligo one night, and they sat with us for a bit before buying a round for us as they left.
Anybody going to watch Ronan Keating and Friends New Year's Eve Party BBC1 at 11.30.
Saw him being interviewed on morning TV about it but still undecided. I actually think he is a twit now and has such a big ego but Keith and Shane are also going to be on it so I suppose I could just mute him.

That’s disgusting! They do say don’t meet your hero’s don’t they
Gosh this would be really upsetting to experience at an organised fan event. I’ve never met Westlife but have met most of Boyzone and all of Take That.
By contrast when I went to Take That’s Beautiful World album signing, Jason was getting annoyed that we were all being moved on too quickly and we weren’t able to say much to him! I think the others were chatting to fans so much the line wasn’t moving as quick as the staff wanted and so everyone got moved along as soon as they reached Jason at the end.
Yeah it really put me off them, I won’t lie. Mainly Shane. I understand off days but this was years apart. Perhaps I just caught him on two very bad days?
Between that and reading his autobiography, I just think he came across a twit in that.
It’s not though, it’s the 25th anniversary of Where the Dreams Come True Tour - it’s just a fake anniversary to sell a tour - there’s nothing to make it seem like it’s celebrating 25th anniversary of a tour, they’ve been together 27/28 years.
How has Ronan got the NYE gig? Seriously there’s no one else?? Xx
I have just turned over - what a bloody poser he is. Going back to That Oldies NYE party on ITVb+1 which I have had on all night - all 60's stuff.
EDIT - just turned it back to see if Keith Duffy was on and there is RK with his white shirt open to the waist with a black vest on.
