This story kind of came out of the blue and you’re not alone in thinking that Brian McFadden had disappeared off the face of the earth or at least hoping that he had.

Firstly there were reports that he had been drunk and abusive on a flight. His response was priceless, he said:
“I had met a lady with a baby before getting onboard.
“I simply went back to see her as the baby was being restless. I’m good with kids and I thought I could give her a break if I sang to the kid.
“Why else would I be going back through the curtains into economy? I actually slept for most of the flight.”
What? Sorry I forget that you were such a huge star that you would never be seen dead in economy other than to comfort a baby. WTF?
Katona’s ex went to say:
“Sure I’d had a couple of drinks but I’m an Irishman. It takes way more than a couple of vodkas for me to be sloshed.
“I’m Irish, I drink a lot of drink and I drink a lot of the time. But what is being claimed never happened.”
OK, is he basically just admitting he’s an alcoholic? Not quite sure why he feels the need to tar all the Irish with the same brush. I bet Kezza is loving all this though, for once she is the sober one.
It gets better though. Later in the week he was photographed with one of Australia’s most notorious gangsters. I didn’t know Australia had gangsters but that’s beside the point. The gangster is John Ibrahim, who has been charged with various offences including manslaughter and in 2004 was named “a major organised crime figure” by Australian police. Oooo get you Brian, mixing with the bad boys.
I don’t know about you lot but I’m thinking that the ex Westlife star who looks like butter wouldn’t melt, seems like a bit of a prick really.
But hang on; oh this all coincides with the release of his new single. Yeah he’s still making music, god help us. It seems his new tune isn’t quite getting the response he hoped for. Called Just the Way You Are ( Drunk in a bar), it’s has got people a little worked up.
Lyrics include ‘I like you just the way you are, drunk as s**t dancing at the bar’ and ‘can’t wait to get you home so I can do some damage, can’t wait to get you home and take advantage.’
Oh dear Brian, what do you think you are doing? People are questioning if the song is promoting date rape. I perhaps wouldn’t go that far but seriously what the hell is he singing about. Firstly it’s just moronic and against the law ( it’s called rape, Brian) to get a girl drunk and take advantage and secondly, I have never met a man who finds it attractive watching me stumbling and slurring all over the bar. Drinking is not cool kids and it certainly doesn’t look pretty. Again, having to defend himself he said: ‘For the record I wrote the song about how I love it when Delta has a drink (which is very rare) and she’s dancing.’
‘I am shocked at these ridiculous accusations about my new song that have been written.’
Ha, so both you and Delta like a drink or two, nice.
If you want to take a listen, check it out below, but please I beg of you don’t enjoy it .One more thing though, it has been suggested that the song is all a joke. Hmm I don’t know but I do know that I preferred Brian when he was the chubby one in Westlife. Thoughts?
