As we all know, tomorrow is the 9th of March. That means it's a whole year since Brian suddenly decided to leave the band, and actually did do it. What did you do on that particular day? Where were you, and how did you get to know the news of his departure? What were your reactions?
This is what I did on March 9, 2004 - and how I got to know everything and how I reacted: On the 9th of March last year, I went to the local university hospital to visit a friend of mine. She's also a fan of Westlife's, and so whilst I was there, we also talked about them (after I had asked her how she felt.) At the time, none of us knew about the shock that lay in store. A few minutes later, a doctor came in to see my friend. He told her he was to take her to an examination room, but that I as her friend could stay around in "her" room during that time. Thing is, this doctor knew that his patient and I are massive fans of Westlife's, and he had this sad expression on his face. We both urged him to tell us what was up. And then he drops the bomb shell: "I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but Bryan left Westlife just an hour ago." We were shocked, none of us had seen it coming at all. However, everything was done to cheer up my friend and I (but mostly my friend because she was in hospital, after all.) After a while, we both felt confident that Westlife would manage without Brian. We also said that it'd be wrong to compare that event to what happened to Take That, because that WAS different. These members NEVER had a bond, Westlife's members do. And we still see that now. I think that's one of the reasons they're still around. They have a strong bond between them, they're still friends with Brian and they still have loads of fans all over the world. Westlife have proven the press wrong time and time again, and there's no wonder they're proud of it. But they knew they could make it, as did I. But how weird this all was, me finding out about this in a hospital?! Really weird indeed.
That whole day was spent trying to actually take in what had happened. Both me and my friend (and my parents) hadn't seen this coming. We knew something was up, but we didn't know it was this serious. But we all think that Westlife have done really well and we're proud that they actually didn't give up (many people have given up, but they don't.)
Topic is now named Robbie Wiliams

I was at home cause I wasn't feeling to well. I heard the day before there would be a press conference so the computer was on in the morning already I chatted with some of my Westlife friends. There were a lot of articles about Brian leaving and Westlife splitting already. But we waited and waited till the press conference began. I was listening to an English or Irish radio station. And well they told Brian was leaving and we could listen to a piece from the press conference and later it was on the television (BBC) as well. It was a sad day! I didn't cry well untill I saw Kian crying! More I can't remember.

For me it was a terrible long day.. A long day of school, i was pretty moody when i came back and i turned on the computer where my sis told me.. I was mad at the beginning but i heard the reason why and i couldn't be mad! I downloaded the pressconference the next day.. But decided i couldnt watch it just yet.. I waited till saturday when i first opened it.. I saw the lads looking down on the table and just let Brian talk..
My mum now joined me and together we watched how Kian spoke his words.. I think it was, soooo emotional and i had a bit of a rough week so it was a little bit too much and i broke down in tears.. Can't say it relieved me but i got the chance to show my feelings about it.. And i'm glad my mum and the rest of the family supported me.. They know how much i lovet he lads and my mum lost a few tears that day too..
It looked a bit like the day when i heard i couldn't go to Unbreakable tour.. I laid on the coush the whole day and cried.. I really really cried my eyes out.. I wanted to go so badly, it would be something nice in a though year but.. Unfortunately it was't...

I worked all day and the minute I came back I settled myself behind my pc for hours. I already heard the news about Brian leaving and I was kind of sad, but also kind of relieved. It was his best decision in ages...

i was at school.. and i hat people text message me... i had a presentation about my trainee ship.. there where only 2 people doing it in an hotel.. so i was there only with one guy i cant stand... and every half hour the people in the class room switched... i already told one friend she used to be a five fan so i told her about the press conference.. and she was like ooh god.. i hope not!! so it was about 2 minutes before i had to give my presentation.. and i got a text message (it was kinda overreacted) it said: bryan left... they are all crying and kian just crashed... he broke down...... and she called bryan a few names... she didnt liked him that much at the moment!! and i read it about 5 times... and then someone said... jeske your turn.. and i was like waht huh... ooow right.. the presentation was about to take 15 minuten after about 6 i asked the guy to take over.. and i walked out... i cant explain the feeling... it wasnt that i was really upset.. just a lil.. and i wasnt angry just a bit mad at him... (i didnt knew the story, i didnt knew why he left.. sooow yeah i might be angry!!) but as i walked out the friend who used to be five fan came to me she looked at me.. i didnt said a thing.. and she was like witch bastard left the band.. i talked with her for a while... i think the feeling i had was fear.. i was just scared it was the beginning of the end.....well after that i went back in finnished the presentation and called a few people.. when i had irene on the phone she was crying so i decided to go over to her!! after about 3 hours in the train i got there... we even had fun that day... it was the first time we met in real life.. so it was kinda weird.... and then we watched bbc... and the both of us just got quiet... and the people who know is both on here know that that is really rare!! after that i went home and in the train i had my music on, i heard tonight.. and the first tears came.. i was glad i let go a few tears.... cause i was keeping it all inside... well in the days after i wrote bryan a poem and it goes like this: Some decisions are easy Some decisions are hard Some decisions are painful and some decisions are a work of art your decisions is everything but easy (but in the way of exept...) and your decision is tearing me apart but most of all your decision is amazingly beautiful dedicated and full of heart! i love you and resepct your decision jeske! that was about what i did after bryan left.. oow wait forget 1 thing.. i used to play football i had a game on sunday.. and well i am not really nice on the pitch;) its not that i hurt people.. but i dont go gentle... and well i was in this duel with someone... and i hurt my ankel (tl. gescheurde ankel banden) i ripped my ankel ..... i dont know what they are called in english..... i was just being stupit.. i was going in that duel without thinking... i hadnt thought that much that week

My grandpa died on this day, 9 march 2004. I didn't go on the internet, didn't knew about the pressconference. 'cause he was already very ill. I found out about it by mail. A girl asked me to sign a petition that we supported Brian. That was about 3 days later.
