The really nice thing about this interview with Shane Lynch from Boyzone is that he is clearly a world away from the brittle, chippy young fella I crossed swords with all those years ago at Top of the Pops.

(I explained the whole thing here, if you missed it)

I dunno if it's the hard-won realisation that the jet-set lifestyle of a pop star isn't something you can rely on, or the fact that he's incredibly pleased that people still care about his band years after they split up, but this was a really nice conversation with someone who clearly gets where his band are in the wider scheme of things - for good and bad - and is at peace with it all.

All he needs to do is have a word with whoever writes their press releases and he'll be sorted...
