Westlife’s Kian Egan, Sharon Corr, Brian Kennedy to mentor on The Voice Ireland?

Kian Egan may just be about to follow in his manager’s footsteps.
The Westlife star – who is managed by X Factor judge Louis Walsh – is rumoured to be in talks about joining the judging panel of new reality TV show The Voice, not the BBC version but the Irish one.
The singer not only has industry and music experience, but he has also managed other acts, such as his wife’s girlband Wonderland – until they split last month after being dropped by their record label – and has an all round history in the business.

The Independent claims that Egan, 30, has been approached by BBC bosses about joining the panel as a Voice mentor and an insider explained:
“Kian realised that the huge amount of experience he has in the music business could be of great use to any aspiring singer trying to get a break”.
It is thought that Kian will be joined by Sharon Corr, Brian Kennedy and former Blizzards singer Niall Breslin aka Bressie on the show.
