Blog 12 - From boy band to being almost homeless

Westlife singer Shane Filan is declared bankrupt

Westlife singer Shane Filan has been declared bankrupt in the UK. In a statement, Filan said: “I have worked long and hard to tackle my debts and I am devastated that my problems have come to this conclusion”. His company, Shafin Developments Limited (owned by Filan and his brother), has suffered a major loss since last month. Westlife, one of the most successful boy bands, is having its farewell tour. Although Filan has earned millions with the band, he has lost everything.

Well, how strange. Mister boy band singer thinks he can play with the men and invest in his own company. He should have enjoyed his money instead of becoming too greedy. People always need more money and then they lose everything. I cannot shed one single tear for this man. He took a risk and it did not work out the way he planned; tough luck. This proves, once against, you do not need brains to get rich; being good looking is enough.
