Westlife's Mark Feehily has blamed the time difference in Australia for former member Brian McFadden's lack of contact with the band.
Mark, 29, said: "Brian's living in Australia at the moment with Delta (Goodrem) and he's kind of carving himself his own career out there.
"I haven't seen or heard much from him really but it's a different time zone and different part of the world so that's to be expected."
Asked whether there was a space for Brian if he wanted to rejoin the band, Mark said: "I don't know. We never say never but at the moment we're very happy how we are."
Westlife are having a bit of time out from touring right now, but they are still busy working on an album which they aim to release later this year.
"We're gathering songs for a new album, hopefully we'll have enough songs for this winter, if we don't then it'll be next summer or next winter. Instead of putting an album out each year we want to put out the best album we can," Mark said.
Mark, who was spotted out at the Bruno premiere in London with boyfriend Kevin McDaid, said he thought "uber gay" characters such as Sacha Baron Cohen's fashionista Bruno were helpful in beating homophobia.
"I think if he makes people laugh then it begins to dismantle things," he said.
"He's the ultimate - he's a bit of this type of gay person and a bit of that. He's a few of the stereotypes altogether and he's making people laugh and as long as people aren't afraid of him then he's achieving something."

Get out your BBQ
The Centra Childline Big BBQ is back and Nicky Byrne of Westlife has joined Centra and Childline to encourage people living in Cavan to get out their BBQs out during June and July and raise money for a great cause.
The Childline Big BBQ raised €408,000 for Childline in 2008 and Centra are asking people all over Cavan to register for their BBQ pack and host their own fundraising barbecue at home, at work or even in their local sports club.
Last year’s success was also helped by the many Centra Stores throughout Cavan which hosted BBQ’s for their local communities. Childline is Ireland’s only multi-media listening service, providing support to children throughout the country 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Commenting at the launch, Nicky Byrne of Westlife said: “To raise over €400,000 last year was a great achievement, particularly given the weather we had, and I really encourage people to help us match that amount this year by hosting their own BBQs throughout June and July.”
Des O’Mahony, brand communications manager, Centra said: “We are delighted to be involved with the Childline Big BBQ once again. Following on from the massive success of last year’s event and the fantastic response from Centra customers, we are hoping that even more people will register to host BBQs throughout the summer. It is a great way to spend time with family and friends and all the monies raised goes to a very worthwhile cause. Our aim is to ensure that fewer calls to Childline go unanswered.”
