Who is westlife

March saw a new chapter begin for the group as Brian McFadden announced his departure from the band. We thought maybe this was the end of the band, the beginning of the end.

We chose to fight and to stay together.

The band released a second Greatest Hits album in , which was followed by a farewell tour. The final performance of the tour was at Croke Park Stadium in Dublin on 23 June , to an audience of 82,, and streamed live to cinemas worldwide. 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.
