in set malfunction by Clemmie Moodie, Daily Mirror 22/03/2011 WESTLIFE had a little sit down during a recent gig but it was anything but restful. A set malfunction left Nicky, Kian, Mark and Shane dangling above the crowd at Liverpool's Echo arena on Friday night. I'm told: At one point, the boys sit down and start singing from a big swinging bar which transports them around the arena. Embarrassingly, it broke down and got stuck. A load of security guys had to manually lower the bar and help the lads to the stage. They were mortified.
Pop sensations Westlife take centre stage at Hamilton Park Mar 24 2011 by Gary Fanning, Hamilton Advertiser MEGASTARS Westlife will perform a concert at Hamilton Park in July. The Irish supergroup, who have had 14 number ones and sold 44 million record worldwide, are set to wow their fans at the Bothwell Road race track on Saturday, July 23. Westlife will be the first of two major stand alone gigs at the course over the weekend. The pop sensations, consisting of Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, Mark Feehily and Shane Filan, will play exactly a year after JLS performed at the venue to 13,000 screaming fans. Organisers expect another sell-out for Westlife who will be supported by girl group Wonderland. Vivien Kyles, chief executive of Hamilton Park Racecourse, said Westlife were a massive coup. To say we are thrilled to welcome Westlife to Hamilton Park this summer is most definitely an understatement, she added For a group of their worldwide fame and appeal to choose Hamilton Park for a summer date when they are in such high demand speaks volumes for our growing reputation. The JLS concert last year could not have gone any better but we are determined to keep testing ourselves as a venue which is why we will double to hosting two standalone concerts this year - and on the same weekend. There has been a fantastic buzz in the office since Westlife signed up and we are confident that excitement will be shared by the Scottish public - and added to when we make our second announcement. Westlife will be supported by Wonderland, the girl group formed by Louis Walsh and Kian Egan. Last year's JLS gig was one of the venue's highlights of 2010 that included live performances by Olly Murs and Alesha Dixon, all combining to help Hamilton Park win the Lanarkshire Tourism & Leisure Award at the recent Lanarkshire Business Excellence Awards 2011. The Advertiser revealed earlier this month that X Factor winner Joe McElderry will top the bill at Hamilton Park's Family Night with the Stars from X Factor on Saturday, July 9. Tickets for Westlife went on sale on Monday on the Hamilton Park website (www.hamilton-park.co.uk) and via Ticketmaster (08444 999 990/ www.ticketmaster.co.uk) and ticketSOUP (0844 481 8898/ www.ticketsoup.com).
The Irish Independent reports that Westlife star Nicky Byrne and wife Georgina were named Most Stylish Couple at the ceremony at the Shelbourne Hotel.
By Melanie Finn Tuesday April 12 2011 Chart-toppers Westlife will be adding to their bulging bank accounts after nabbing an exclusive gig in Dubai. The Herald can reveal how the four Irish stars are being flown to the millionaire's playground to perform a once-off concert for the Jebel Ali International Hotel's 30th anniversary celebrations. But the services of Nicky Byrne, Mark Feehily, Kian Egan and Shane Filan certainly don't come cheap -- they'll be picking up a rumoured 100,000 for their two-hour stint on stage. Seeing them perform in the United Arab Emirates city isn't for those worried about their finances, either. Fans of the Raise Me Up crooners will have to fork out a cool 85 for the gig in the Jebel Ali International Centre of Excellence, which is in the heart of the glitzy city. Speaking to the Herald backstage at their O2 gig in Dublin, Nicky Byrne spoke about how much the lads were looking forward to it. outdoor "We're going to Dubai on Thursday and we haven't been back there since 2005 so that will be a good one. It's an outdoor gig, I think it's for about 6,000 or 8,000 people. It's going to be great," he explained. The four lads, who have been together for 13 years and have shifted 44 million records, have just finished the Irish and UK leg of their tour, which included five sell-out gigs in the O2 Dublin as they toured their new Gravity album. They have now entered a new phase in their career after they opted to leave Simon Cowell's label SyCo in favour of moving to Sony RCA. Nicky has since claimed that their former boss Simon Cowell was more interested in his own fame than the band. "We signed to Simon back in 1998 and he was brilliant but then came the development of X Factor and American Idol. "Simon became famous himself and his interests went that way rather than on Westlife. We almost felt a little bit unloved with Simon Cowell, if I was to be honest, " Nicky explained. However, the switch to Sony RCA after 13 years with Cowell is a good move for the band, Nicky claimed. "We need someone telling you that's going to be a hit or not. Simon got so busy and would do it at the very last minute and we needed someone who was on it all the time. hectic "We have that now at RCA. It's their job to put us in with the right producers and co-writers. " However, Kian has admitted that their hectic schedule is starting to take its toll on the band members, the older they get. "It's getting slower, it's getting harder. We came straight off the tour and it's straight into the Greatest Hits phase off the back of this, it will be another whole whirlwind. It's not going to stop after this tour. It's going to be pretty manic for the next year and a half," he explained. "When we finish this tour, we've got a few foreign gigs and then it's straight back into the studio. Then we've got a load of summer shows and then the first single from the Greatest Hits coming in August so it's really, really fast this year. Since we've left SyCo, because of the way they did things, we really wanted to turn things on their head." Yet despite them revisiting some of their best-known hits from their lengthy career, he also ruled out any reunion with former member Brian McFadden, whose future is now up in the air after his split from former fiancee Delta Goodrem. "I don't necessarily see it happening, it would have to be something really special and something small, not this big thing," he added.

Westlife and Byrne for royal event Westlife and X Factor star Mary Byrne
are among the headline acts to be confirmed for the Queen's first official visit to Ireland. Two thousand guests have been invited to a special ceremony during the British monarch's trip, with Irish President Mary McAleese set to be the guest of honour at the event on May 19. Chart-toppers Westlife and former supermarket worker Mary are on the bill for the evening, which organisers have described as "a roll call of the best of Irish entertainment". Ambassador to Ireland Julian King is to host the so-called "return event" - an evening of fashion, music and theatre at the Dublin Convention Centre in the city's docklands. "This is the first State Visit to Ireland, our closest neighbour," the Ambassador said. "We wanted to mark this historic occasion, and to reflect the huge support and interest there has been in this visit." He added: "We have put together a programme that showcases the best of British and Irish fashion, and brings together on one stage some of the finest performers working in Ireland today. "It promises to be a memorable occasion, an opportunity to celebrate the Queen's visit, but also the love of music, the spoken word, fashion, and design that people from across our two countries share. " The return event is standard practice during a State tour when the visiting country arranges a special occasion for the host country. The evening is expected to be shown live on RTE television.
Louis Walsh was said to have been "left seething" after Michael McIntyre gave him advice on how to manage Westlife. The music mogul was a given the advice from the comedian while guesting as a judge on the panel of Britain's Got Talent. McIntyre told the Irishman that Westlife needed to have a "change of style", says the Daily Star. Michael said to Walsh: "Westlife, they are a bit serious aren't they? Are they that emotional? "Why don't you do an up-tempo number with them? "Sometimes you've got to take a risk, Louis. " Louis snapped: "We have done up-tempo numbers and taken risks. "But ballads work. " Walsh later told a source: "I don't think Westlife need Michael's help. "But if he's going into the pop business, I'll get out my joke book and become a comedian."

Monday May 16 2011 WESTLIFE'S Nicky Byrne fulfilled a lifelong dream when he got the chance to lift the FA Cup. Before joining Westlife, Nicky (32) played football professionally as a goalkeeper with Leeds Utd. Despite his success with the boyband, Nicky has always had a longing to lift the famed FA Cup -- and he finally got the chance thanks to Manchester City's victory over Stoke on Saturday. CATWALK Members of the team later brought the cup to a charity event, organised by Ireland and Manchester City goalkeeper Shay Given, which Nicky was attending. Nicky attended the annual Fashion Kicks event at Lancashire County Cricket Club alongside his glamorous wife Georgina and proudly posted pictures of himself and his wife holding the Cup. The Dublin singer is a keen supporter of the glitzy event and even performed at last year's bash with his Westlife bandmates. In order to support their friend and teammate Shay, 15 members of Manchester City's first team squad took to the catwalk for a fashion show staged by Selfridges. Among the big names joining the sportsmen on the ramp was British supermodel and actress, Lily Cole, who modelled the store's Spring/Summer collection. X Factor winner Alexandra Burke was also lined up to perform at the star-studded event, which raised funds for Macmillan Cancer Support. Nicky and Georgina enjoyed a lavish feast at the bash, with Shay arranging for some of the finest chefs in the UK and Ireland from the Academy of Culinary Arts to prepare a meal for his guests. - LORNA NOLAN

ex-Westlifer Brian Mcfadden eist voogdij over kinderen
ex-Westlife-zanger Brian McFadden is woest na het zien van de beelden van zijn ex-vrouw Kerry Katona, waarop zij cocaine snuift, terwijl hun twee dochters thuis zijn. De zanger zou in gesprek zijn met advocaten om te kijken of hij de volledige voogdij over de kinderen kan krijgen.
De kinderen Molly (7) en Lilly Sue (7) zouden in een andere kamer hebben zitten spelen op het moment dat hun moeder Kerry Katona high werd. Brian was zeer van slag toen hij dit hoorde en met eigen ogen zag. Brian is inmiddels verloofd met zangeres Delta Goodrem en zij zou er akkoord mee gaan als de kids bij hun komen wonen. McFadden wil niet dat de kinderen nog langer bij Kerry blijven

Brian wants the girls to live with him and sexy Delta
22nd August 2009 By Jerry LawtonSCANDAL-hit
Kerry Katona fuming ex-husband is planning to take their two children to live with him in Australia.
Singer Brian McFadden, who lives in Sydney with his pop star girlfriend Delta Goodrem, is flying to Britain within the next few days.
Worried Brian, 29, has told pals he will now seek custody of daughters Molly, seven, and Lilly-Sue, six.
The former Westlife star has called in lawyers to launch his legal battle.
He is said to be at photos of Kerry, 28, snorting a white powder thought to be cocaine at her home in Wilmslow, Cheshire, as the girls played downstairs.
Brian will fly in from the US, where he has been working on new songs, to be with his daughters. He would need court permission for the girls to live permanently with him and Delta, 24.
A source close to Brian said: Nothing has happened yet. It depends on what happens when he gets to England.
Kerry,s former publicist Max Clifford told an Australian newspaper: Brian McFadden will possibly be attempting to get custody, as he has done in the past.
Pals say losing her two eldest children could push mum-of-four Kerry over the edgez. A family friend said: She could not bear for them to be so far away.
Police and social services are due to quiz Kerry over the pictures when she returns from a holiday in Tenerife.
Meanwhile, it was revealed the hard-up star is so desperate for money she arranged to be snapped topless on a beach for a share of the royalties. A pal said last night: That,s a new low for her.
September 05, 2009 02:00pm .BRIAN McFadden has revealed plans to delay his wedding to Delta Goodrem so he can return to Ireland to look after his daughters.
McFadden wants to move to Ireland to live with children Molly, 8, and Lilly Sue, 6, for up to a year.
The former Westlife singer, now engaged to Goodrem, was speaking for the first time since former wife Kerry Katona was engulfed by a drugs scandal.
In an extraordinarily open interview, he told of his heart-felt plea to Katona for temporary custody of their two children.
``Today I made a plea bargain. Neither of us can afford to go another year in the courts in the UK,'' he told a live TV chat show in Ireland.
``She gives me the kids and I bring them back here (to Ireland) and me and my mum will look after them.
``Let her go sort her life out, get whatever problems she having, she needs to go get them fixed, and if in six months to a year's time, if she's got her life together, they can go back.''
Revealing he had not spoken to Katona in four years, he told of his despair at his children's ``unstable environment''.
The girls live with their mother and her husband Mark Croft in north west England.
Katona, a former Atomic Kitten singer was secretly recorded snorting cocaine in the home last month.
Her daughters are believed to have been home at the time.
Asked why he was living in Australia when he feared for his children, he said: ``My career is destroyed here, in the UK and Ireland. ``It just is. It's just the way it is over everything that's happened.''
Kerry Katona's ex-husband Brian McFadden has revealed that he has lost his custody fight for their children for a second time.
The Westlife star battled to take Molly 8, and Lily-Sue 7, into his care after Kerry was filmed allegedly snorting drugs.
But the singer has now told the Daily Telegraph the court ruled against him. He said: "It is over again. It actually was finished a couple of months ago. I just have not said anything about it.
"I have had two battles now and unfortunately I have lost both of them. It is twice I have gone to court and spent a lot of money and lost."
Brian also revealed that he had spent Christmas with his girls and that all seemed well with Kerry and the girls "at the moment".

Brian, 30, was seen dropping Molly, eight, and seven-year-old Lily Sue at Kerry's home in Surrey yesterday.
