Overview
- Westlife, appearing on BBC Breakfast on Monday, said Mark Feehily is "doing ok" and is taking a step back from live shows.
- The band confirmed he will miss the 25th‑anniversary world tour, though his vocals feature on new singles Chariot and Your Love Amazes Me.
- Their compilation 25: The Ultimate Collection, released May 8, is reported to be outselling the rest of the Top 75 as the tour adds more dates and begins in September.
- The trio performed on Britain’s Got Talent over the weekend and thanked Simon Cowell for backing the group early in their career.
- Feehily has faced severe sepsis in 2020, later pneumonia and an incisional hernia with multiple surgeries, which led to his decision in 2024 to pause touring.
