Westlife planning comeback

 

 Westlife are reportedly planning to return to the music scene.

The group announced their split just three years ago, but it's now been revealed that their former record label Syco could have persuaded them to return for a new album and tour.

A source explained to The Sun newspaper: "Syco started the talks about getting Westlife back for an album.

"The idea now is that a new album could be released late next year with a tour to follow in 2016.

"The lads still have a massive following that would buy a new album in their droves and pay big money to see them again live.

"Syco want another big banker of an album and Westlife are their most successful act commercially."

However whilst Mark Feehily, Kian Egan, Shane Filan and Nicky Byrne would all be likely to be onboard for the reunion, it's unclear if Brian McFadden would also be involved, after he quit the band in 2004.

"Syco would love Brian to be part of the band again. It'd create the same sort of buzz as when Robbie Williams returned to Take That.

"But the other lads will need to be convinced because they were always very clear that when Brian left it was for good."
