Flying with EUR40,000 wings
WESTLIFE stars Shane Filan and Nicky Byrne will dash from their Croke Park concert on Saturday night in a EUR40,000 private jet.
The pair will make a frantic journey after performing to 70,000 fans and jump on a Lear jet to Manchester which will be on standby at Dublin Airport.
They were forced to pay out for the luxury so they could make it to northern England in time to play in the Soccer Aid charity match at Old Trafford on Sunday.
And the duo are taking their big match so seriously they have ditched champagne and beer from their backstage area and replaced them with energy drinks.
Shane told the Irish Daily Mirror: "We can't go out celebrating after the Croke Park concert because we have a huge match the next day in Manchester.
"Nicky and I have had to book a private jet to get us over in time so we can get a good night's sleep before the match.
"We have been doing loads of training for it and we're really hyped up for the big game.
"But it's nothing compared to the excitement we are feeling for returning to Croke Park.
"It's going to be an amazing night. Last time we played there it took us about two weeks to come back down to earth."
A show insider revealed: "Normally there would be a few beers and even some champagne backstage. But in Nicky and Shane's dressing rooms they have requested energy bars, fitness foods and energy drinks.
"They are basically having the same diet as a professional footballer.
They take it very seriously."
The pair's bandmates Kian and Mark will instead be leading the after-show celebrations by booking a private suite in top Dublin showbiz haunt Krystle.
The stars will hit the town with their manager Louis Walsh and Kian's new girl band Wonderland, which includes his wife Jodi Albert.
Kian promised: "It's going to be our biggest night for years.
"We're going to give the fans a night they will never forget."
70,000 fans are expected to pack Croke Park on Saturday for Westlife concert
