Westlife To Split

    "Westlife star Bryan McFadden has confirmed he is leaving the band to spend more time with his family.

    The 24-year-old singer told a packed press conference in Dublin that the other members of the band were his four best friends and his departure was nothing to do with them. "I just feel it's the right time to concentrate on my family and being at home as much as I can," he added.

    Although the band said they were "devastated" by the news of Bryan's departure, they called it an amicable split and urged fans to support them now more than ever. Bryan's wife Kerry McFadden and bandmate Nicky Byrne's wife Georgina, Irish premier Bertie Ahern's daughter, stood together as Bryan announced his departure.

    Since emerging into the pop world five years ago, the band have had a record-breaking 12 number one singles and sold 30 million records.

    The move has sparked speculation Brian could pair up with his 'queen of the jungle' wife Kerry for joint television work.

    The four remaining band members have vowed to press on without McFadden, but many believe his announcement could mark the end for the Irish band."

    So what do you think? I don't like Westlife at all so this obviously doesn't bother me but anyone here think they'll last?

    I would have used a living room fork, if you asked me. Gives you more satisfaction.
