ARTIST BACKGROUND

About Westlife

Westlife is the Irish vocal group that developed from the earlier act IOYOU, with Shane Filan, Kian Egan and Mark Feehily joined by Nicky Byrne and Brian McFadden. Managed with help from Louis Walsh and Ronan Keating, the group built a repertoire of ballads and polished pop, continuing as a quartet after McFadden's departure.
