Westlife on call for tribute at funeral of Nicky's dad

WESTLIFE are considering performing an emotional tribute at the funeral of Nicky Byrne's father this weekend.

Nikki Byrne Snr (60) died suddenly on Tuesday and will be laid to rest in his hometown of Seagrange in Baldoyle, north Dublin on Saturday.

The father of three, who was well-known on Ireland's cabaret circuit and even had his own band called 'Nikki and Studz', is believed to have died of a heart attack while at work.

Westlife star Nicky is helping his mother Yvonne and his siblings Gillian and Adam with the funeral arrangements.

Mr Byrne's body was taken to the family home yesterday and will repose there until Saturday.

The funeral will be held at St Laurence O'Toole's Church in Seagrange and he will be buried in Fingal Cemetery in Balgriffin.

A number of showbiz personalities will perform at Mr Byrne's funeral. But the Irish Independent has learned that Westlife are leaving it up to Nicky (31) as to whether the group will perform or not.
