It's amazing how lucky Westlife were and what we achieved. It's very rare to have seven number ones in a row. Ridiculous in fact.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.'
Seven is a lucky number, so I plan to do a lot of lucky things with my seventh place title.
Ninety-seven is my lucky number.
It was lucky for me. It wasn't lucky for the nine people that got killed and the 20 that were injured.
I'm lucky on so many counts - I'm lucky to be alive.
I think every day how incredibly lucky it is that I travel around the world playing to thousands of people.
In the Led Zeppelin shows of the Sixties and Seventies, it was the same numbers every night, but they were constantly in a state of flux. If I played something good, really substantial, I'd stick it in again.
I'm probably one of the worst people with numbers you've ever met. My brothers always kid that they think I'm counting cards in Vegas, but I'm just trying to add things up.
If I'm honest, I thought Westlife would keep going for longer than it did - we all did - but it sort of came to a natural end. When we decided we were going to split, I thought, 'If I'm going to sing, I'm going to have to do it solo.' Also, financially I was broke, so the decision was ultimately made for me.
I say the one thing about luck is you can't really count on it.
