Westlife speak out about their split
Tuesday, 12 February 2008
Westlife joined GMTV this morning to talk about why their still together and going strong after 10 years.
Speaking to Lorraine Kelly, Nicky Byrne said, "We've been 10 years together this year as a band. I'm pretty happy with that - I never thought we'd make it that long, so this tour is representing and celebrating that."
Shane Filan said their close friendship was the key to them all getting along. "We have a lot of respect for each other individually. There's no hidden agendas in Westlife - we're very honest with each other."
The band revealed their plan to 'chill-out' for a year after spending 9 years working non-stop. Kian Egan said, "We've got a bit of break coming up after the tour… probably the biggest we've ever taken. We're going to take a year out and we're not going to do an album this year." Shane added, "It's just to spend time with our families and spend time with our kids, just relax. Do anything but sing maybe for a year."
The break might be perfect time for Kian to sort out his marriage arrangements. Questioned when the wedding might be, he replied, "We haven't fully decided when yet - we're just waiting to find the right location, shall we say. But yes I'm looking forward to it."
