He is the lead singer in the best boyband in the world.. but Westlifes' Shane Filan nearly blew it with Cowell after a boozy night out Shane, regarded by pop mogul Louis Walsh as one of the best singers in the business, turned up for an early audtion with a serious hangover. After a dodgy performance Cowell, who was a famous talent spotter with Sony in those days,told Walsh he didnt like Shane and wouldnt do a deal with Westlife. It was only due to Walshs sneaky tactics ,that cowell agreed to see them again... and help make them one of the bigest pop acts in the world. Shane(28)spills the beans on the near miss in their new book. He says "Ill never forget that audition." "I performed terribly but the rest of the lads were great " but i knew i hadnt done the job. " "Simon seemes uninpressed and chatted briefly to Louis and then Louis gestured us into another room, "Louis grabbed me and half hit me ,What the f*** was that Shane,It was s***. He doesnt like you. He was really mad at me. I had never seen him like that before and it scared me. He was so passionate about the band, and so into what he was doing..He couldnt believe i was so poor to SImon. He said "I was counting on you and you let me down. You look terrible , whats up with you?? "Well i had a few drinks last night, and he was fuming at me..I was apologising to him but i knew he was right. He told us that Simon only liked Mark and Kian and particularly didnt like me. "Louis spoke to Simon prvately and told him he would get new members in. he would work on the band and sort it all out. and if Simon would come back one more time he would love it. "He did come back and he did love it. He didnt even notice i was the same guy. Thats the reason we got the deal. " Dad of one Shane whose wife Gillain is expecting their second child in September now has enjoyed 10 years at the top, and has a string of number one albums under his belt. But he says his sucess isnt just due to the other members of the band but to Gillian, who kept him on the straight and narrow from the beginning. Theres no other women in the world who comes close to her, says Shane in his new book. Westlife Our Story When westlife first started Gillian was just at college and didnt want Westlife to affect her. She wanted a normal college life and as i remember it no one said to us "You cant have a girlfriend"./ If they had said that it was essential it wolid have been the end of the band for me becuase i wanted Gillain in my life above eveyrhting else. "But it was her idea not to go publicing it so much. She wanted her own friends and her own time at college. "She didnt want to just be the girl who is going out with Shane from Westlife, She got Westlife and that there would be attention from girls -and she knew how to handle it and had no problem with it at all. "Id fallen in love with her and that was that. " So the band situation didnt affect us. Gillian was the perect women for me. Despite the public and the fans not knowing much about the blonde in Shane's life Gillian was playing a big part. She discouraged Shane from drinking too much, during the bands wilders days. Shane says, i was a nutbag on vodka and red bull, Id go out to a club with Gillian and id be drinking it and forget about her for an hour and a half. just be chatting to [and having a laugh. Eventually Gillain would be like where are you?? So i stopped drinking at it didnt agree with me... But at he time we were young fellas, 20 ,21 out having a good time and we were famous. We were in this band, outselling everywhere. we had money in our pockets. It was pure joy. "Whats the point in doing all the work if you cant enjoy the benefits. We just kind of enjoyed them a bit too much. After dating since they were teens, Shane and Gilliann, who is also kians cousin. wed in december 2003, Their first child was born in July 2005, And despite women constanmtly throwing themsleves at handsome Shane, he says hed never risk his fmaily for anything. Some blokes alwasy think the grass is greener. but thats a fools game he says. Id never be such as eejit to go behind Gillians back.I actually dont think i could do it. "Nobody is worth the risk of me loosing what i have with Gillian . The greatest day of life was when my beautiful daughter Nicole,l was born, Best dayt ever, nothng ever comes close to your first baby being born. ill never foregt it, her little head, her eyes closed but looking at me, it was incredible. I just started crying my eyes out and so did Gillain. we weer proper bawling and we were sohappy, we were ecstatic. Car crazy shane who once spend 13 000 euros insuring a Ferrari 500, said "Gillian was the girl i wanted to spend the rest of my life with, long before westlife or college or any of this. I loved her then and I just wanted to do what she wanted, and now i love her more than ever Irish Star/Mary for scanning for wfvip***Joanne** for typing |
