Brian McFadden (born 12 April 1980 in Artane, Dublin, Ireland) is an Irish
singer.
McFadden came to fame as a member of the boy band Westlife. He left the band
on 9 March 2004 to work on solo projects. (McFadden performed with Westlife
as Bryan McFadden but afterwards decided to use "Brian" as the spelling of
his name, as it was the original spelling.).

He released his debut single "Real to Me" in September 2004, and it went to
No. 1 on the UK charts. His second single, "Irish Son", was released in
November 2004 and went to No. 6 on the UK charts. However, the album Irish
Son only reached the top 30 in the UK charts, while the third single from
the album, "Demons", only reached #28 in May 2005.
The video for "Irish Son" caused some serious controversy, as it showed a
Christian Brothers school in Sutton whilst the lyrics implied that McFadden
had been physically abused at a CBS school, when he did not actually attend
one. The song for the most part criticises the hold that the Catholic Church
held on Irish society in the past, despite this having been seriously
diminished by the time McFadden was born.
McFadden married Kerry Katona of Atomic Kitten in 2002. The couple have two
children, Molly and Lilly Sue, but they announced their separation in
September, 2004.
Since then, Brian has been dating Australian singer and actress Delta
Goodrem. McFadden and Goodrem released a duet, "Almost Here", which reached
#3 in the UK charts in February 2005, and also #1 in Australia. As her
success is much greater than Brian's, usually he travels around with her on
her tours. |
