Westlife split!

[turnaround]

I guess we all saw it coming. 

After 14 years, 26 top ten hits including 14 number one singles, 11 top 5 albums, 7 of which hit the top spot and have collectively sold over 44 million copies around the world, 10 sell out tours and countless memories that we will forever cherish, we today announce our plan to go our separate ways after a greatest hits collection this Christmas and a farewell tour next year.  The decision is entirely amicable and after spending all of our adult life together so far, we want to have a well-earned break and look at new ventures.  We see the greatest hits collection and the farewell tour as the perfect way to celebrate our incredible career along with our fans. We are really looking forward to getting out on the tour and seeing our fans one last time.



Over the years Westlife has become so much more to us than just a band.  Westlife are a family.  We would like to thank our fans who have been with us on this amazing journey and are part of our family too.

We never imagined when we started out in 1998 that 14 years later we would still be recording, touring and having hits together.  It has been a dream come true for all of us.

This should've happened along time ago to be honest. They get boring in each album with these remakes and slow songs.

I agree!

[turnaround]

They really had too many covers. It feels like almost 50 % of their output were covers. Useless covers.

Btw - the B-Side of the new single sounds quite alright "Poet's heart"

Yes they did a lot of covers, but they never failed to get me to like at least a song in any of their albums, they have really good songs, Poets heart sound good.
