Phil Collins' champagne celebration
Delighted songwriter Phil Collins sent a bottle of champagne to all five members of Westlife to thank them for taking his song Against All Odds to the top of the charts. The Irish stars recorded the cover track with American singer Mariah Carey, which made the British Number one spot last month.
Group member Kian Egain says, "He wrote a note with it saying 'I'm very pleased, and you are too, to have this song at number one, so congratulations.' It was really cool, so to celebrate we all had a glass of champagne. We didn't go mad though because we were up for work early the next day."
But the group have yet to meet up with pop superstar Carey since it topped the charts. Kian adds,"She's still filming in Canada so we can't get to see her. But we did speak on the phone." (Wenn)
