They have announced that they are to split in 2012 after 14 years following a final tour.

Westlife Lyrics

Your life's hard enough
And your not strong enough
To be bleeding from your heart

Till the bitter end

It's already 2023 and still enjoying the cool sounds of the 20's. Westlife will always be my favorite boyband of all time. No one else comes close to the colorful memories that they brought to my childhood through their music. As soloists or as one band, Shane, Mark, Bryan, Nick, and Kean will be my "evergreen" band.
