I'm more of a debit card person, and I live in the 'now'. I don't like credit cards anymore. I try to live with whatever I can afford and don't try to put myself in an awkward position. I've done that before. Shane Filan affordanymoreawkward share on social

I've been a solo artist for a year now, and I think I should start thinking about the future now. Every spare time I get, I want to be in the studio and work on music for 2015. It's a lot of work. Shane Filan artistfuturehave Change image and share on social
The couple of years before I was declared bankrupt were the roughest. The bank letters, the pressure, the stress was awful.

I have worked long and hard to try to reduce my debts, and I am devastated that it came to this conclusion.

Working on solo material is something I had always dreamed of doing, and I'm incredibly happy with the results. 'Everything To Me' is a very personal song to me lyrically; it is such an upbeat and optimistic record, perfect for the summer. I can't wait for people to hear it!
