We’re joined by Kian from Westlife, calling in just after dinner and a couple of beers, ahead of the band’s massive return to New Zealand!

He chats about Westlife’s huge two-year world tour, why New Zealand feels surprisingly like home, and reflects on the buzz of getting the band back together, plus parenting as a pop star.

Kian shares stories from performing for Barack Obama, Will Smith, the Pope, Queen Elizabeth, and King Charles, as well as duetting with icons like Mariah Carey!

Since Megan, the Westlife superfan, is away, we decide to call her with Kian just to rub it in her face… 😏
