A Message About Stephen Gately
We are, like everyone else, in shock today. We met Stephen Gately back in ‘98 when we first started out and since then have had the pleasure of meeting him many times. He and the Boyzone lads paved the way for us as a band. He was a friendly, positive spirit and a passionate performer. Our thoughts are with Andy and the rest of his family, his friends, his legions of fans and of course his bandmates Keith, Mikey, Shane and Ronan who will be devastated at the loss of a truly beautiful person.

Happy Birthday Nicky!
A big ‘happy birthday’ to Nicky, who turns 31 today. You’ve been busy leaving messages on the site and in the official forum describing how you’ll be marking the occasion – here’s just a small selection of the things fans are getting up to.
Several fans have sent Nicky cards or presents, including LaurenLovesNicky, Westlife00, Steffy85 and Shaziyya Kara.

Valerie D, Nickyisasexgod and Theresa Smith will all be having a drink to mark the occasion.
Lots of fans are celebrating with a cake, including Mrs Sarlife, Lisam and Emer_Loves_Nicky.
Some fans have put in an extra special creative effort, especially Zazu360, who made a “Nickivent calendar” to count down to Nicky’s birthday, and Nia Byrne, who has written the story of her love of Westlife over the years.
The Westlife Fan Club Hong Kong have made a special video for the occasion. You can watch their video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRdhsqKu97o . The fan club in Nicaragua are also holding a special meeting for Nicky’s birthday.

Westlife v Take That
Manbands ready for chart showdown of the year
PREPARE for the biggest chart showdown of the year - as "manbands" WESTLIFE and TAKE THAT go head to head.
TT are in New York putting the finishing touches to new album Circus Live due out on November 30. Westlife have spent a year working on their surprise new venture.
A Westlife insider told me: "Instead of ballads there will be a rockier feel. They are confident they can beat Take That."
Last time the bands went head to head was in December 2006 when Westlife's The Love Album was knocked off No.1 by Take That's comeback album Beautiful World.
At the time TT's Gary Barlow said the Irish lads, including Kian Egan, wouldn't exist without them.
A music industry insider told me: "This could get messy."
May the best band win...

Westlife To Perform At The Childline Concert
Solo Cheryl for Childline show - Girls Aloud babe's Irish debut at O2
Exclusive by Paul Martin
Pop babe Cheryl Cole will stage her first solo performance in Ireland at the Childline concert, the Irish Daily Mirror can reveal.
The Girls Aloud star has signed up for the massive event and hopes to wow fans with tracks from her new album Three Words.
Organisers were planning to keep the news secret until next month but we can reveal she will be joined by girl band arch-rivals The Saturdays at the bash.
And Ireland's biggest pop act ever, Westlife, will make their stage comeback for their first show since they thrilled a sell-out crowd at Croke Park last Summer.
A show insider revealed last night: "It's going to be the biggest Childline ever with the best line-up of stars. It's a huge coup to get Cheryl Cole making her first solo appearance in Ireland - she will be a massive draw.
"And it goes without saying that Westlife making their comeback at the O2 is a massive thing too."
Cheryl will be desperate to steal the thunder from The Saturdays who have been locked in a chart battle with Girls Aloud for the past year. A source close to the singer revealed: "There is a bit of friction between the two bands to say the least.
"The Saturdays are clearly trying to go after Girls Aloud fans so Cheryl will be out there to really steal the spotlight from them.
"I'm sure there will be an awkward moment if they bump into each other backstage."
Westlife will mark their comeback by closing the show with a series of their biggest hits and new material.
They will perform six songs including two from a new album that they will release early next year.
The band are plotting a major comeback after taking a year off to concentrate on family life.
Singer Shane Filan told the Irish Daily Mirror: "We can't wait to get back on the stage. We feel we have our strongest material for years.
"It was fantastic to have a bit of normality for a year but now we're itching to get back. Our new album is going to be entirely new music - there will be no covers."
