Shane Filan is set to become a father for the third time.
The Westlife singer - who already has a daughter Nicole, three, and nine-month-old son Patrick with wife Gillian - is thrilled to be adding to his family and revealed the baby is due next year.
He said: “I know a lot of you have already heard the rumours, but I wanted to confirm to you myself that Gillian and I are expecting another baby.
“We’ve been keeping it a complete secret from everyone for a while, and made the announcement at my 30th birthday party on Saturday (04.07.09). The baby’s due early next year and we’re completely over the moon about it. The thought of becoming a dad for the third time is just amazing!”
Speaking after Nicole’s birth in 2005, Shane said: “It was the most emotional and amazing experience of my life.”
“The baby looks like me. She’s got dark hair and is absolutely gorgeous. Gillian will be staying in hospital for a few days and I can’t wait to get her and Nicole back home.”
John Mayer didn’t sing at Michael Jackson’s memorial because he isn’t as talented as the late ‘King of Pop’.
The ‘Gravity’ musician - who performed an instrumental version of Michael’s hit ‘Human Nature’ at the ceremony at Los Angeles’ Staples Center on Tuesday (07.07.09) - decided against tackling the vocals as he didn’t want to be compared to Michael.
He said: “The decision not to sing cam from knowing what’s best for me. I think it’s a mine field to try in any way to replicate vocally what Michael Jackson has done. And in a way, it was sort of respectfully leaving an absence, you know, sort of the presence of his absence.”
John, 31, was amazed to be asked to attend the memorial - which also saw performances from Mariah Carey, Usher and Michael’s brother Jermaine Jackson - as he had never met the ‘Billie Jean’ singer.
He explained: “The first thing I said was a question, ‘Does this really come from the family?’ I think that was essential to me to be able to process the honor. It took me about 48 hours to strike the balance in how I was going to approach being invited to this unbelievable event without actually having the proximity to Michael Jackson, personally. I’d never met him.”
