[Press Conference Coverage] Shane
Filan “You and Me” Asia Tour @ KL Convention Centre
Kuala Lumpur, 11th
November 2013- Shane
Filan from Westlife is on his Asia Tour and KL happened to be one of the stops
for his tour. Last Thursday, he has had a press conference in KL Convention Centre to share more
about his latest album “You and Me” with
the media members on the floor.
It’s A Long While since Shane’s Last
Appearance In Malaysia!
It’s been
quite some time since Shane Filan has
come to Malaysia. The last trip he came here was during the Westlife concert. This is his 6th
time visiting Malaysia but it is his first time being here not as a group but as
a solo singer.
About The Latest Album, “You and Me”!
Shane has
described that his album was consisted of songs which are based on his true
story such as his wife, his life and everything that is important and memorable
for him. His main single is “Everything To Me”. He was asked by the emcee about
what is his “everything”. He said that it would be his wife and his children
because they are basically his world.
By the way,
Shane has actually co-wrote many songs for Westlife. This time, he emerges as a
pop writer for his own solo album. He is currently signed to Universal Music because the company
actually encourages him to write songs for himself. And yes, the first song he
wrote is his main single stated above, “Everything
To Me”.
Sharing Of His Childhood Stories!
Shane was quite friendly and opened up to
share more about his childhood stories. He is from a big family and he enjoyed
singing since he was very young. Of course, other than singing, he also enjoyed
playing football and he was used to be very talkative in class whereby his
teachers would tell him, “Shane Filan..shh..be quite..”. (Shane was seen with a
very relaxed and funny facial expression when he said about this.)
His Experience During His Asia Tour!
When he was
asked on which country was his favourite during his Asia Tour, he said that
there is no specific country which he loves the most. He felt that every
country gives him a different feelings but nonetheless the same kind of good
atmosphere for him.
Shane then
asked the emcee for any food recommendation in Malaysia. The emcee then
introduced “Char Kueh Teow” to him.
Media Q&A:
Any plans
for a solo concert in Malaysia?
Most probably would be on next year
if everything goes smoothly according to his plan.
Why did
Shane agree to do the Shout Awards?
Because his recording label company
asked him to do so? (He replied jokingly)
Well, The Shout! Award is a big TV
Show and he was excited to be part of the show whereby he would be singing 2
singles from his latest album.
What did
Shane miss the most in Westlife?
They are all really good friends. He
has spent nearly half of his life together and it was fun. But it is also cool
and exciting to be doing solo now.
What was the
strangest fans’ reaction he has ever had?
It was during one of the Westlife
tour. A cameraman has actually raised his hand to shake their hands. The whole
camera was basically gone down and nobody can see anything from the screen.
During his
down time, who has given him support? Was it his wife or his manager?
His manager is very positive to him
in his career side while his wife is very positive to him in his personal side.
Either way, he is grateful to have them both in his life.
Have him
ever written a song about his manager?
It was the first time for him to be
asked such a question. He jokingly replied that maybe he should make his second
solo album all about his manager.
It was indeed
a pleasant afternoon with Shane Filan.
The conference ended with Shane posing
for all of the photographers in the room.
