Corrs accidentally release new album


Andrea Corr: stunna

Andrea Corr (above) laughs now, but just a few weeks ago, she and her fellow bandmates released a new album in public. She blushingly remembers the incident. "We were all just sitting around with some media types and our PR people and, I don't know, it must have been a mixture of the [protein-rich] vol au vents and champagne, but suddenly there was a horrible smell in the air and everyone was looking at us."

The hapless Drogheda siblings immediately attempted to apportion blame for the release, but it seems they were all responsible.

Luckily for the quartet, few people made a big fuss, with most laughing it off or politely ignoring it - a difficult task given its surprisingly extensive coverage. And while for other bands such a release might be considered normal or even a cause for celebration, for the Corrs it proved to be a dreadful faux pas.

"We won't be doing that again," swears a repentant Andrea. "You never know when people's good-natured tolerance will snap, forcing them to scalp us for our rare and precious ebony hair. From now on, I'm sticking to exposing my breasts. We're all more comfortable with that."
