About this episode
Nicky Byrne interviews Antony Costa about his rise from pub gigs to pop stardom with Blue.
Nicky sits down with Blue star Antony Costa for an in-depth chat about his journey from singing in pubs and clubs as a teenager to becoming part of one of the biggest boy bands of the 2000s. Antony opens up about the graft behind the early years, the healthy rivalry with Westlife, Blue’s huge success in Italy, and those pinch-me moments working with Elton John and Stevie Wonder. From All Rise and If You Come Back to I’m a Celebrity, Blood Brothers and life after Blue’s first chapter, Antony shares what it truly takes to keep going, keep performing and build a career beyond the boy band years.
