Westlife star Kian Egan has spilled the beans on the bands wilds days. but vows the famous four are now settled. Kina,28, admit that in the early years of the band he and fellow bandmates Shane Filan,Mark Feehily, Nicky Byrne and Brian Mcfadden used to go ga-ga on vodka and red bull He said they drank heavily every night on their first tour and once knocked back alcohol for 5o nights in a row. Now older and wiser the lads prefer to spend time with their wives and partners - and have seriously cut back on boozy sessions. In Westlife's new book Our Story, Sligo born Kian also reveals his real feelings after Brian left the band, the times Louis Walsh nearly quit as manager and how he cant wait to marry stunning fiance Jodi Albert. Kian remembers, On our very first concert tour, Once we were offstage we went ballistic. We felt like superstars and we drank like f******** nutjobs. Im not even sure i want to explain what went on.. We had been doing two years solid promotion but no tour and virtually no days off since it all started. Then in typical Westlife fashion the first tour we ever did was humungus. Behind the scenes there was just an explosion of pent up energy. Young lads well known in all the magazines,songs in the charts , money coming in, out on the road together. to be honest we went gaga... "We drank heavily every night .Vodka and red bull was our favourite tipple, and we sank it by the gallon. " "Our security man Paul Higgins reckons me and Shane drank ourselves into oblivion for 50 nights striaght. "We were like caged animals being let loose. The situation was so different from the promotion.. There was no record label telling us to behave ourselves to get ourselves to bed." "We were the bosses so we did what we wanted,when we wanted. And what we wanted was to party. " In my opinion the partying never affected our shows. We were kids, well 21 but we were bulletproof. " "Plus we were form the west side of Ireland so have a background in heavy drinking" "So the drinking carried on the next day, and the next day , and the day after that for the rest of the tour, then the next tour" Westlife have now been going strong for over 10 years, Earlier this month they sold out their biggest ever gig in Croke Park. Down to four members after Brian Mcfadden left in 2004, the lads have all attributed much of their sucess to hard work and dedication of thier manager Louis Walsh. But in the book Kian dramatically reveals how pop mogul Louis Walsh quit working with them more than once. He says "Something people should know about Louis Walsh is that he really knows how to keep us together and grounded." "But he has quit as our manager on more than one occasion"Let me give you an example. We were doing some recording in Sweden after we had had loads of number ones. We were all supposed to meet in the hotel lobby at a certain time, but we didnt all get there at once. When the last band member had turned up, about half an hour late, Louis turned around to us and said, I dont want to manage you lads anymore"We were shellshocked. He keeps you on your toes" Did i personally loose the plot. Yeah probably,i look back at some of the tv interviews I sounds like a cocky little s***t. "But i was young and had always wanted to be in a boyband and now we were the biggest boyband of them all. " "The world seemed to have fallen at our feet.I think it was impossible not to have an ego. But you live and learn." "Nowadays there is no need to give us a reality check, because we are all a lot more seasond and that bit older. " Brian Mcfadden dropped the bombshell that he was leaving the group March 9th 2004. His band colleagues stoodby as he told the world why he was leaving. But a short time later, things took a temporary turn for the worse .Kian said, Justover 6 months after Brian left he released a solo album. He also had split up with Kerry, We had heard he was working on a solo album but we werent sure" "For my part i didnt act too positively to these developments. He told me he was leaving Westlife to be with is family. " "Now i love Brian to pieces and I respect him for leavng Westlife when he was unhappy. I respect him for leaving a marriage he wasnt happy in. " "What im about to say here isnt anything i havent said to Brian in a private conversation.I felt like he laughed at me in the Press conference. Ive since said that we shouldnt have done the press conference, and i stand by that. I think we glorified Brian too much when he left the band. " "i do think that looking back -as a business decision for Westlife, We made a very big deal about Brian leaving the band and that was probably unncesary. In a way that helped build ground for his solo career. " "The shoe could very much be on the other foot now, Westlife could be down the tubes and he could be the next Robbie Williams, but it hasnt worked, not that way for him. I really wish it had worked for us both. " Kian and Brian have since reconciled their differences, and these days theyre both getting ready to marry their gorgoeus girlfriends, Jodi Albert and Delta Goodrem. Kian popped the question to TV star and singer Jodi, last christmas, The pair have yet to set a date but Kian is already counting down the days. "I cant wait to be Jodi's husband,for her to be my wife and to have children and an amazing family life. Jodi is incredible and there will never be anyone else.
