The Co Louth native told host Edwina Bartholomew on Australian show Sunrise that she thinks one of the band’s biggest successes is that they all still talk to each other.
Asked how much of a novelty it will be travelling with her siblings, she said: “I think it will be super novel for us, I mean we did it back-to-back for 15 years. We were at stages doing four concerts in three weeks and we were absolutely wrecked – but young and loving it.
“We certainly tested the family bond throughout the years. One of the things that I would always say is our biggest success is that we are actually still talking to each other.
“Forget the 40 million albums, we actually talk to each other. It’s amazing,” she said.
Sharon told of her excitement at performing in Australia, saying she was looking to being on the other side of the world.
“Our first gig back I suppose Is really special for us to make it in Australia because when we went to Australia a long, long time ago in the late 1990s we were welcomed with open arms so it feels like home
“I’m just dying to be on the other side of the world. I haven’t done that in so long so that is going to be fun., I’m looking forward to the show.

But she admitted she felt like half of her was missing during the Covid-19 pandemic when they couldn’t perform.
“I felt like half of me was missing. Just making music for myself wasn’t quite cutting it you know. Finally getting back out on stage was like a love bomb. I absolutely soaked it up and loved every minute of it.
“To have music as your profession is a giant piece of luck in your life. And when The Corrs are back on stage, it is very magical what we do together.”
But Sharon added that she finds being famous as “strange” as she recalled moments when she would be recognised by strangers and hearing the music on the radio in shops.
“We had no idea what it was like to be famous. I still don’t understand it, it is quite weird,” she said.
