For those who regularly read this page, it's not news that I rely on Ireland AM to propel me out of bed in the morning. Yesterday, it was the ramblings of some wan who believed she could cold read people's doodles that hurled me out of the pit in a rage. This morning, the motivation it took to exit the covers came thanks to a fit of giggles stemming from a message on the ticker tape, which went something along the lines of "Westlife's Nicky Byrne had to attend Liverpool's A&E to get five stitches after a play fight with band mate Kian Eagan ended badly." Hilarious. One can only imagine what started, but I'm guessing the terms "pretty boy","self-appointed mouthpiece", and "I'm getting a solo someday!" might have been bandied about.
The Sun had additional information: "Rock 'n' roll brawling isn't really what you come to expect on a Westlife tour. Connect 4 competitions and a quiet pint of Guinness, maybe. But Nicky Byrne was rushed to hospital when a play-fight got out of hand after their gig in Liverpool at the weekend. He was wrestling bandmate Kian Egan to the floor when he smashed his head through a glass table. He ended up with five stitches and a bad headache. He said: 'All fun and stupid lads joking. I'm healing already'."
Maybe his wild time might inspire him and the lads to cover remakes of their covers, like 'You Stitch Me Up', or 'You're Face is Unbreakable', or 'What About Pow.'
Apologies. I've had an emotional few days so cheesy 'Westfight' *ducks* puns are probably the best we're going to get out of me today.
