We're very excited about it. Fans buy Pepsi Max and text a number. If they win, they get to work behind the scenes with us for a day at a one-off gig, which will be held in their hometown.

We're very excited about it. Fans buy bottles or cans of Pepsi Max and text a number. If they win, they get to work behind the scenes with us for a day at a one-off gig, which will be held in their hometown.
cool
It would be a cool thing to do. We are all big fans.
artist future music solo spare start studio thinking time work year
I've been a solo artist for a year now, and I think I should start thinking about the future now. Every spare time I get, I want to be in the studio and work on music for 2015. It's a lot of work.
achieved albums amazing arenas believe direction god million realise sell
Every year, we couldn't believe it, and even when I look back on it now, to sell 14 million singles, 50 million albums and sell out arenas and stadiums, what Westlife achieved was crazy. It's like One Direction probably don't realise how big they are. They'll look back one day and think, 'Holy God, that was pretty amazing.'
raise recorded time
I didn't really like 'You Raise Me Up' at the time we recorded it; now it's my favourite Westlife song.
I can say 100% that Westlife is not breaking up.
base fan good love respect solid strong
I think that as a band, we find joy, and we love what we are doing. We are very good friends, so we get on very well, and we have a lot of respect for each other. We have a lot of respect for what Westlife is. We have a very, very solid and strong fan base all over the world.
enjoy health knowing life stuff
'Everything To Me' is about everything that's important. It's about my wife, my kids, it's about life, about being happy. It's about life in general, you know, about not knowing what's going to be around the corner, but you've got to enjoy it and enjoy the things you have. My wife, my kids, my health, and stuff like that.
best
It is what we do best - give them what they want. Why give them something they don't want?
Westlife earnt millions. We were on the 'Irish Times' Rich List. And then... I'm not!
falls proven stay year
I think we should stay where we are. This year has really proven that when you have the right song, everything else falls into place.
cool funny john kevin meeting paul pope
Kevin Spacey was pretty cool - very funny. And meeting Pope John Paul II was special.
seven together
We've been together seven years and we're pretty much like family.
