“If the Westlife thing explodes into a worldwide tour and albums and songs that are taking over, I presume my break from 2FM will have to be extended for some time. But I don’t see it as the end of my run on radio, certainly not, with Jenny.”
And now, 2FM boss, Dan Healy is expecting his absence from the airwaves could least a year or longer. He spoke to the Irish Sun saying:
“Now Croke Park is sold out, my feeling is the Westlife tour is going be longer than five months. “They have a comeback written by Ed Sheeran which is going to be massive and number one across Europe."But he is confident that the show must go on and although they'll miss Nicky, it won't stop them from pushing forward and doing what they do best.
“2FM has been through this before. We had a massively popular broadcaster in Gerry and when he passed away, we dropped listeners. “But we have built a station where we are strong through breakfast, mid-morning, lunch afternoons, drivetime. We will continue to evolve while Nicky is away," he told the publication.
Westlife will be playing in Croke Park on July 4 and July 5, adding a second date yesterday when the first gig sold out in record time.Explore more on these topics:
