Wild Youth break silence on Eurovision heartbreak - 'We're sorry we couldn’t get through to final'
The band were sent home after they failed to impress jurors in Liverpool on Tuesday night during the semi-final with their song, We Are One.Taking to Instagram on Thursday, Wild Youth penned: “We’ve taken a minute to just breath after Tuesday. But we just wanna say thank you.
“Thank you everyone who supported us, thank you to all our team. Michael, Evan, Frielo, Deirdre, Helen Mollie, Jennifer. It’s a journey we will never forget. “Our family, friends, girlfriends who have been by our side through highs and lows. I’m sorry we couldn’t get through to the final. But we tried our best, thanks to the @eurovision for this opportunity.”It comes after lead singer Conor O’Donohoe was spotting storming out of the Liverpool Arena moments after the top ten acts were revealed on stage.He said in the now deleted post: “We did everything we could. Michael Kealy [RTE’s Eurovision Head of Delegation] was amazing,” he wrote.
“One of the things I always say and I’m not going to win any popularity contest is that RTE has been chronically underfunded for decades and it shows particularly when it comes to us putting on entertainment shows.
