Westlife deny band rift rumours after split announcement

Westlife have reassured fans that their announcement to split after 14 years was a "united decision".

The Irish group will go their separate ways following the release of their Greatest Hits album next month and their farewell tour in 2012.

Since they revealed plans to disband Westlife, the four-piece have been surrounded by speculation that they split over a difference in opinion over where to take their sound.

However, Westlife have now denied the rumours through their official Facebook page.

"We wanted to take a moment to say thank you to everyone for their kind words and support since making our announcement," they said.

"Our fans continue to be the best support system we could ever hope for and we thank each and every one of you."

They continued: "The support we have felt over the last couple of days gives us all strength as we look forward to our new individual paths in life and we all feel excited about the next chapters that we are embarking on.

"We know it doesn't make for a good story but regardless of what you might read in the papers this was wholeheartedly a united decision.

"Obviously there is already a huge amount of speculation as to what exactly is next for us all, but until you hear it from us it remains just that; speculation."

The boyband concluded the message by revealing plans to do fan Q&A sessions next month, where they will explain their plans further.

Westlife will release their new single 'Lighthouse' on November 13, while their Greatest Hits collection will follow on November 21.

  1. sometimes whenever I listen to their song, it resembles whatever they are facing right now.

    I'm too shy to ask, I'm too proud to lose
    But sooner or later I gotta choose
    And once again I'm thinking about
    Taking the easy way out

    So impossible as it may seem
    You've got to fight for every dream
    'Cause who's to know which one you let go
    Would have made you complete

    Im gonna miss them. Thanks for coming to Malaysia :)
