Lead singer with the defunct Irish boy band ‘Westlife’.
Just a few years ago Mr Filan was living the high life.
He was driving expensive sports cars, staying in the best five-star hotels and flying all over the world.
Today he is as poor as a church mouse gnawing its way through the prayer kneelers.
His million-pound lifestyle blew away in the Irish financial ill-wind and this has ‘bankrupted’ him.
So if Shane wants to fly anywhere in the world now, he can only afford to do so ‘without wings’.
‘He crossed the stream. He had a dream’.
