Danny O’Donoghue says he is envious of the anonymity his
fellow The Script bandmates enjoy as he can’t enjoy life’s temptations so
freely.
The brooding 33-year-old Dubliner would be easy to spot
on the streets after being placed in the spotlight thanks to his coaching
position on mainstream TV show The Voice.
‘They can drink and smoke every night if they want but I
can’t because I’m the f***ing lead singer. I’m totally missing out,’ O’Donoghue
told Guilty Pleasures, comparing himself to guitarist Mark Sheehan, 38, and
34-year-old drummer Glen Power.
‘I can’t do that s*** every night. So I’m jealous for a
lot of different reasons. The day the band finishes, I’m going to start another
band and become the guitarist,’ he said mischievously.
Having left The Voice after series two last year,
O’Donoghue says he is not worried about the band falling back into obscurity
without a Primetime show to provide added exposure.
‘The show had an amazing reach and was an amazing
platform but it wasn’t like I was on it every week saying “Buy The Script’s
records” or singing our songs,’ he said.
‘We announced we were going to do a Google Hangout last
week and we became the number one trend worldwide on Twitter, so I really don’t
think we’ll have a problem getting the news out.’
