After months of rumours and speculation it's now official, Westlife are back! Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, Mark Feehily and Shane Filan WILL reunite, without former member Brian McFadden, to celebrate the group's 20th anniversary.
The news comes after rumours circulated last week that Westlife would reunite and had been working on a comeback song with Ed Sheeran! They reportedly said the addition of Ed would give them a contemporary edge for their reunion.
Since announcing the exciting news on social media, the band have sent fans into a frenzy. This will be the first time in six years that the band will have reunited. The video posted to their socials showed the four members of the group shaking hands as they reunited before sitting on stools and joking around.
They end the video by saying, "We'll be seeing you soon."
Both the group's official Twitter and individual members of the group announced the exciting news.
It was late last year that Louis Walsh appeared on This Morning and mentioned the idea of a reunion with a "few tours and a new album". However, at the time he admitted he hadn't spoken to the band about it.
Westlife first started out in 1998 with a string on Number 1 songs in 1999 such as 'Swear It Again', 'If I Let You Go' and 'Flying Without Wings', to name just a few. Their huge success continued into the 2000s, however Brian McFadden left the band in 2004. Following Brian's departure, the group went on to release six more albums adding to the massive success they had as a five-piece.
