Eurovision hopefuls Wild Youth revealed legend Johnny Logan told them “no one gave him a chance” when he first represented Ireland at the song contest.
The band are huge fans of the Hold Me Now singer – who won in 1980 and 1987 – and were stunned when he asked to meet them in his dressing room recently. But Conor O’Donohoe – who is hoping to match Johnny’s success with the tune We Are One – said Johnny revealed nobody backed him with his song What’s Another Year 43 years ago.
Conor told us: “We were in Tel Aviv with Johnny. He is unbelievably nice. We got there and we knew he was playing so we were fanning. He’s an icon.
