The Irish star had planned to stay "stone cold sober" throughout the festive season following the tragic passing of his bandmate Mark Sheehan in 2023. However, the former The Voice judge confessed that as soon as he landed back in Dublin from the UK for Christmas , he started hitting the bottle again.
Speaking on the How To Fail With Elizabeth Day podcast, the 43 year old revealed: "By the time I'd got off the plane, I was smashed. With every intention to get on that plane saying, I'm not going to drink at all and then while I was on it, whiskey please." "Then I just hammered the whiskeys, got home and I pretty much spent Christmas just p****d.
" "I do one thing on Christmas Day, have been doing it for 14 years now, where I attend Temple Street children's hospital from nine in the morning until three in the afternoon and spend time with the kids and nurses. It's a beautiful, beautiful morning. I wasn't drunk Christmas Eve.
