But not before a final UK tour
Irish boyband Westlife have announced they are calling it a day after 14 years together.

Westlife’s previously announced May 2012 jaunt will now be their farewell tour following the release of their best of album ‘Greatest Hits’ on November 21st.
In a statement on their official website, the foursome wrote: “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.
"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.
