It was an emotional day for Ronan Keating as he bid farewell to his time at Magic Radio. The Irish singer, who had been hosting the Breakfast show for the past seven years, announced last month that he would be leaving to focus on his own music and spend more time with his family. And as his last day arrived, Ronan couldn't hold back the tears.
During the show, Ronan delivered a heartfelt rendition of one of his hit songs, When You Say Nothing At All, which left both him and his co-host, Harriet Scott, overcome with emotion. He also performed his other popular tracks, Life is a Rollercoaster and a cover of George Michael's Faith, before leaving the studio.
As the show came to an end, Ronan expressed his gratitude to his listeners and colleagues, saying, "I can't believe we've lasted seven years. It's been so much fun. It's all about you now Harriet, so good luck. My padawan, I hope I've taught you well." He then joked, "I'm not crying, you're crying."
Reflecting on his time at the station, Ronan shared, "I've loved broadcasting the stories from the listeners over the years. It's been amazing and thank you all so much for listening for the last seven years. I have loved every single morning." He also thanked his colleagues and mentioned that he would miss them all.
As he left the building, Ronan was greeted by his colleagues from Magic Radio and its sister stations, who lined the corridors to applaud him. It was a touching moment for the singer as he said his final goodbyes.
When Ronan first joined the station in 2017, he had only planned to stay for a year or two. However, he fell in love with the job and ended up staying for several more years. But now, he is looking forward to spending more time with his family, including his wife Storm and their two children, Cooper and Coco. Ronan also has three older children from his previous marriage.
While Ronan's replacement on the Breakfast show is yet to be announced, he has mentioned that he will occasionally host other shows, including weekends this month. And as he embarks on this new chapter in his life, Ronan is grateful for the memories and experiences he has gained during his time at Magic Radio.
