Subscribe: bit.ly/BWTV-Subscribe
Bandwagon got the opportunity to sit down with Westlife alumnus Shane Filan when he dropped by Singapore last month for a showcase. Hear Filan talk about how a school production of Grease indirectly led to the creation of Westlife, go over some regrettable hairstyles and outfits from the boyband's heyday, and explain why boybands will never die.
