In another post, the father of four reflected on the huge role Brooklyn has played in his life over the past 18 years.

“From day one he never slept through the night, the only way he would fall asleep is when I took him out in the car and it had to be BoyZone on the radio and he would drop right off,” he wrote.

“Thankfully he now sleeps the whole night without needing a song.”

“Brooklyn has gone from this beautiful baby boy to become this handsome, polite and driven young man,” he added.

“I’m proud that he lived through my career with me and I’m even prouder about the person that he has become.

“Happy birthday Bust, you can now officially take dad for a drink down the pub.”
