I will definitely start in small venues, as I want to find my feet as a performer; the first shows that Westlife did was ten dates at Wembley, which was just crazy. We didn't have a clue what we were doing because it was so big.

I think Westlife is very unique: we have a certain sound; we do our thing our way, and we don't try to change too much. I think that's what the fans love about us. We keep giving the fans what they want every year. The style of music never really changes too much.

It's a big deal to bring your family on the road, you know? I'd love to do it sometime, but you have to work out schools and all that.

For Westlife, the music will never stop as long as our fans are around inspiring us to keep on making beautiful music together.

Together with a team of financial and legal experts I have spent months exploring all possible alternatives to bankruptcy but to no avail.

The couple of years before I was declared bankrupt were the roughest. The bank letters, the pressure, the stress was awful. You're in this twilight zone of not knowing where your life is going, and yet you're in Westlife. Everything was great with the band. I was earning money, and it looked good.

Yes, it's true, I have bought a helicopter. I really like it. I can't fly it, but I plan to get a licence one day.
