Bangkrut, Inilah Satu-Satunya Harta Shane Westlife

Shane Westlife dan istrinya @ dailymail.co.uk

Kapanlagi.com - Tahun 2012 lalu, Shane Filan telah mengumumkan bahwa dirinya bangkrut. Harta benda pentolan Westlife itu sudah ludes, kecuali satu barang. Benda apa itu? Setelah semua hartanya disita, untungnya dia masih punya kesempatan menyimpan satu benda berharga. Barang itu tak lain adalah cincin pernikahannya dengan Gillian.

Gillian dan Shane menikah tahun 2003 @ dailymail.co.uk

Cincin berlian itu bernilai £ 31,958 (lebih dari Rp 500 juta). Tentunya, cincin 31,41 karat tersebut menjadi satu-satunya harapan yang dimiliki Shane bersama sang istri.
Namun demikian, kondisi Shane saat ini memang sangat ironis. Di masa kejayaan Westlife, dia adalah salah satu pria terkaya dengan penghasilan mencapai ratusan ribu poundsterling setiap tahun.
Kebangkrutan Shane diumumkan pada bulan Juni 2012, tak lama setelah Westlife bubar. Sebelumnya, dia memang telah mengalami krisis ekonomi yang membuatnya terpaksa menjual berbagai aset. (dym/ris)

Kapanlagi.com - Salah satu mantan personel Westlife ini mengingatkan rekan seprofesinya Justin Bieber untuk tak lupa beristirahat. Baginya meluangkan waktu sejenak untuk istirahat disela-sela kesibukan sangatlah penting. Ia tak ingin Justin Bieber atau artis muda lainnya yang kini berada di puncak karir terlalu asyik bekerja hingga melupakan atau menganggap sepele waktu beristirahat.
"Saya hanya mengingatkan Justin Bieber dan artis lainnya seperti One Direction yang sedang berada di atas popularitas agar tetap meluangkan waktu untuk beristirahat. Karena kurangnya istirahat dapat berakibat buruk bagi kesehatan," Jelas Brian ketika dimintai keterangan oleh Entertainmentwise.com.
Pria ganteng ini juga mengatakan jika dirinya pernah mengalami gangguan kesehatan. Hal ini tak lain disebabkan karena kurangnya istirahat. Akibatnya    personel lain di dalam grupnya juga ikut terganggu.
"Manfaatkanlah waktu untuk beristirahat, di tengah kepadatan jadwal yang gila-gilaan. Jangan menganggap sepele waktu istirahat.  Karena ketika tubuh tidak sehat maka akan mengganggu kenyamanan kalian saat performs di atas panggung. Namun terlepas dari itu semua saya secara pribadi sangat mengapresiasi karya mereka," pungkas Brian dalam Entertaimenttwise.com. (cmc/kis)

All Or Nothing

I know when he's been on your mind
That distant look is in your eye
I thought with time you'd realize
It's over over
It's not the way I choose to live
And something somewhere's got to give
As sharing this relationship gets older older
You know I'd fight for you
But how I can fight someone who isn't even there
I've had the rest of you now I want the best of you
I dont care if that's not fair

Chorus:
Cause I want it all
Or nothing at all
There's no where left to fall
When you reach the bottom it's now or never
Is it all
Or are we just friends
Is this how it ends
With a simple telephone call
You leave me here with nothing at all

There are times it seems to me
I'm sharing you with memories
I feel it in my heart
But I dont show it show it
And then there's times you look at me
As though I'm all that you can see
Those times I don't believe it's right
I know know it

Don't me make me promises
Baby you never did know how to keep them well
I've had the rest of you
Now I want the best of you
It's time for show and tell

Chorus

Cause you and I
Could lose it all if you've got no more room
No room inside for me in your life
Cause I want it all
Or nothing at all
There's no where left to fall
It's now or never

Chorus x2

Westlife - Westlife To Split In 2012

Westlife have announced today (19.10.11) they will split up ''amicably'' next year following a greatest hits album and a farewell tour.

Westlife are set to split next year.
The Irish foursome - who are made up of Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, Mark Feehily and Shane Filan - have announced they will part ways "amicably" in 2012 following a greatest hits album and a farewell tour next year.
A statement released today (19.10.11) by the boy band read: "After 14 years, 26 top ten hits including 14 number one singles, 11 top 5 albums, seven of which hit the top spot and have collectively sold over 44 million copies around the world, 10 sell-out tours and countless memories that we will forever cherish, we today announce our plan to go our separate ways after a greatest hits collection this Christmas and a farewell tour next year.
"The decision is entirely amicable and after spending all of our adult life together so far, we want to have a well-earned break and look at new ventures. We see the greatest hits collection and the farewell tour as the perfect way to celebrate our incredible career along with our fans. We are really looking forward to getting out on the tour and seeing our fans one last time."
Westlife - who had a total of 14 number one hit singles, including 'Swear it Again' and 'Flying Without Wings' - thanked their fans for supporting them over the years and revealed their time together has been a "dream come true".
The statement added: "Over the years Westlife has become so much more to us than just a band. Westlife are a family. We would like to thank our fans who have been with us on this amazing journey and are part of our family too.
"We never imagined when we started out in 1998 that 14 years later we would still be recording, touring and having hits together. It has been a dream come true for all of us."
The band launched as a five-piece in 1998 but Irish singer Brian McFadden quit the group in 2004 to spend more time with his family and work on solo projects.
Their 'Greatest Hits' album is set to be released on November 21st following the release of their latest single 'Lighthouse' on November 13th.
Westlife's forthcoming tour dates:
May 2012

Statement From Westlife

We wanted to take a moment to say thank you to everyone for their kind words and support since making our announcement. Our fans continue to be the best support system we could ever hope for and we thank each and every one of you.

The support we have felt over the last couple of days gives us all strength as we look forward to our new individual paths in life and we all feel excited about the next chapters that we are embarking on. We know it doesn't make for a good story but regardless of what you might read in the papers this was wholeheartedly a united decision. Obviously there is already a huge amount of speculation as to what exactly is next for us all, but until you hear it from us it remains just that; speculation.

We are planning a fan Q A and some interviews in the coming weeks so that we can speak directly to you all and so that you can hear our plans, straight from us. Until then, we thank you all from the bottom of our hearts - we really do have the best fans in the world.

Westlife - Lighthouse (New Song 2011)

This kinda love is more than a lifeline
For a man who’s weak as me Who has no self-belief
This kinda love is more than amazing
For a man who lost his way
Who thought it was too late
How does the sea how does the sea
How does the sea get so rough
I wanna drown i wanna drown
If you hadn’t given me your love
You’re the light in the dark
You’re the seat in the park
You’re the lighthouse
You’re the lighthouse that i need
You’re the key to the door
You’re the port in the storm
And i need to find the shore
As i can’t swim anymore
You always guide me back to solid ground
You’re my lighthouse
This kinda love is more than a feeling
For a man who really cried
I get all choked up each time
You said you love me
You could’ve walked away
could’ve get my problems back
could’ve let you took the chance
How did the waves how did the waves
How did the waves get so high
I would’ve died i would’ve died
When you loved me just in time
You’re the light in the dark
You’re the seed in the park
You’re the lighthouse
You’re the lighthouse that i need
You’re the key to the door
You’re the port in the storm
And i need to find the shore
As i can’t swim anymore
You always guide me back to solid ground
You’re my lighthouse oh yeah
I will owe to you everything i have right now
I will owe to you eveything i didn’t have you found
Everytime give it back to you Oh …
You’re the light in the dark
You’re sead in the park
You’re the lighthouse
You’re the lighthouse that i need
You’re the key to the door
You’re the port in the storm
And i need to find the shore
And i can’t swim anymore
You always guide me back to solid ground
You’re my lighthouse

Penonton Kecewa, Promotor Konser Westlife Minta Maaf

Jakarta - Banyak penonton yang kecewa usai menyaksikan konser boyband Westlife di Tennis Indoor, Jakarta, Rabu (5/10/2011). Menanggapi hal tersebut pihak promotor Marygops Studios pun langsung meminta maaf.

Hal itu disampaikan melalui akun Twitter resmi mereka @marygopsstudios. "Untuk semua pengunjung #westlifeJKT, kami mohon maaf atas segala kesalahan yg terjadi dan semua ketidaknyamanan selama konser @WestlifeIndo," tulisnya.

Meskipun mendapat kritikan dan komentar bernada kekecewaan, Marygops Studios tetap legowo dan berterima kasih kepada seluruh penonton yang hadir di konser itu. Mereka pun mengaku sudah menampung semua kritik dan saran yang datang.

Saling Dorong dan Pingsan Warnai Konser Westlife

 Keriaan pertunjukan konser grup vokal asal Irlandia, Westlife yang bertajuk 'Gravity Tour 2011', di Tennis Indoor Senayan, Rabu (5/10) mengalami gangguan karena banyaknya penonton yang saling dorong. Adanya beberapa penonton yang pingsan, akhirnya membuat konser yang baru berjalan enam lagu berhenti cukup lama.
Personel Westlife, Nicky Bryne, Kian Egan, Mark Feehily, dan Shane Filan secara bergantian sudah sempat mengingatkan para penonton di kelas festival untuk tidak saling dorong. Sayang, animo penonton yang didominasi para remaja putri ini justru berubah menjadi tidak terkendali dan konser akhirnya terhenti sekitar 20 menit.
Lagu recycle dari Michael Buble, Home pun menjadi lagu 'penutup' dari Westlife sebelum konser terhenti cukup lama. Pihak manajemen Westlife bahkan sempat mengutarakan niat untuk menghentikan konser secara permanen apabika kondisi para penonton tetap tidak kondusif. "Kami tidak akan meneruskan konser ini bila ada penonton yang terluka," cetus pihak penyelenggara menyampaikan pesan dari manajemen Westlife.
Memindahkan penonton kelas festival ke kelas tribun pun akhirnya dipilih sebagai solusi oleh panitia, Marygops Studios untuk mengurangi kepadatan penonton di kelas festival. "Kita akan membawakan satu lagu sebagai percobaan, tapi apabila ada penonton yang saling dorong kita akan benar-benar pulang. Kami hanya ingin kalian semua aman," ujar Shane yang akhirnya ikut membantu panitia mengatasi keadaan.
Akibat kejadian tersebut, Westlife yang rencananya akan membawakan lebih kurang 20 lagu, terpaksa hanya menyanyikan 15 lagu saja. Lagu-lagu hits mereka, seperti Up Town Girl, Home, You Raise Me Up, Flying Without Wings, World of Our Own, dan Seasons in The Sun menjadi lagu-lagu yang paling mendapat sambutan meriah dari sekitar 12 ribu penonton yang hadir.

No Place That Far

can't imagine any greater fear
Than waking up without you here
And though the sun would still shine on
My whole world would all be gone
But not for long

If I had to run
If I had to crawl
If I had to swim a hundred rivers
Just to climb a thousand walls
Always know that I would find a way
To get to where you are
There's no place that far

It wouldn't matter why we're apart
Lonely months, two stubborn hearts
Nothing short of God above
Could turn me away from your love
I need you that much

If I had to run
If I had to crawl
If I had to swim a hundred rivers
Just to climb a thousand walls
Always know that I would find a way
To get to where you are
There's no place that far

Moon River

Moon River wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style someday
Oh dream maker you heartbreaker
Wherever you're going I'm going your way

Two drifters off to see the world
there's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbows end
Waiting round the bend
My huckleberry friend Moon River and me

(Moon River off to see the world
there's such a lot of world to see)
We're after the same rainbows end
Waiting round the bend
