Louis dropped Westlife, twice

Westlife's Shane Filan has said manager Louis Walsh dropped the band twice, once after he felt they were becoming too big for their boots.

Westlife's Shane Filan has revealed that their manager Louis Walsh has dropped the band on two occasions, though in a 'that's it, I resign ' sort of way I think.

Filan told Contactmusic: "He's fired us twice! He thought we were being arrogant little rock stars and said: 'Look I can't deal with you'. Two years later the same sort of thing happened again - he just got a vibe that we were a little bit too big for our boots. We were all genuinely devastated. I was crying".
