Westlife say they are closer than ever
Pop group Westlife have said that they are now closer than they have ever been, following recent tragedies and losses in their lives.
Speaking to Sky News, Shane Filan said that Stephen Gately's death had an impact on the group.
He said: "As a band we've got closer in the last three or four months. We're closer than we've ever been."
Advertisement"When something is taken away from you, or someone like Stephen that was looking forward to his next album, and you know he can't do that now, it kind of puts things into perspective a lot."
Group members Kian Egan and Nicky Byrne also lost their fathers in the past year.
Byrne said: "I think we're all looking forward to the next year, to be honest."
"There are times when you look back at it and think, 'Should I be enjoying myself?' That's part and parcel of it."
"It's certainly better than sitting at home and doing nothing but crying, because I've done all my crying, I just can't cry anymore."

WESTLIFE: NO 1 ALBUMS ARE MORE IMPORTANT
WESTLIFE have given up caring about No 1 singles, and their boss Simon Cowell agrees.
Despite racking up 14 chart-toppers over the decade, the Irish lads – set to crash the top 10 with new album Where We Are – believe the life of the old-fashioned single is over.
Shane Filan, 30, said: “Getting the album to No 1 is more important than having a No 1 single for us and Simon agreed.
He pushed us to make a great album. He agreed we needed to up our game and not to record as many covers. We needed to get back to making great pop music.”
The quartet’s new opus features a more mature pop sound, an idea masterminded by the X Factor guru, 50.
Shane explained: “Simon got us in with everyone we wanted to work with. And we only hired producers we haven’t worked with before.
“It shows in the quality of the music and as a result, a lot of the songs are more up-tempo.
“Simon and Louis Walsh think it’s the best album we’ve ever made.”
Westlife are back after a year out from music but they believe that in that time Simon has become even more powerful.
Shane said: “It seemed impossible for him to get any bigger. But we look at him as a record boss rather than this global superstar.
“We tease him that Westlife was always his first real success and that he made his first major millions off of us.”
Where We Are is out now.

In this week's edition of the Dundalk Democrat, December 9, readers will have a chance to win one of five new albums that we have to give away.
So for your chance to win a copy of 'Where We Are' read the Dundalk Democrat next week.
According to Mark Feehily, the album will be packed full of brand new original songs, as well as a couple of remakes and ranges from poppy upbeat tracks to sublime ballads.
The band feel it's one of the best albums of their career to-date and can't wait for you to hear it.
"We know you're excited to hear it too.
"We wanted the first single from our new album to be somewhere between the Westlife sound our fans know and love, and the new direction we're heading in. We've been experimenting with a fresh vibe on this record. After 11 years we see this as phase two of the Westlife story."

Where We Are - your thoughts...
As you all know, Westlife’s new album 'Where We Are' was released on Monday, and you’ve been letting us know your first impressions of the new songs. Here’s what a few of you are making of the album so far:
gemsywemsy - 'The whole album is just amazing. I hope they get a number one, but if they don't the lads should be so, so proud that they have made such a fabby album. Artists always say, "This is our best album yet" But the lads speak the truth. V.V.V. proud to be fan. Well done boys!!!'
jo5269 - 'Amazing, Astonishing, Astounding, Remarkable, Wonderful, Incredible, Startling, Marvellous, Miraculous, Surprising, Mind-Blowing, Staggering. Yes, I kinda like the new album....'
Scousebird - 'After so long, it's so nice to hear the lads again. I have to say 'Leaving' and 'The Difference' are the best! 'No More Heroes' is a beautiful as well. And 'Reach Out' is the one I am humming the most at work.
'See You Again' has a real military feel to it, like it would be played when troops are deployed in the army on assignment and all the family see you off-I really get that feeling on this song!
Overall, the whole album is really inspirational. I am really looking forward to next tour too!'
KinkysIrishSmile - 'Class... absolutely amazing!!!!! 110% LOVE it!!! Can't wait to hear you perform the songs live!'
angelwest - 'Well, what can I say, another platinum performance from all of you. Exceptional vocals on every track and to choose just one as a favourite would be impossible. I'll see you again makes me cry and alot of the others have potential single written all over them, this is just the kind of album that could help you get closer to your dream off 20 No 1's. Where we are has a fantastic intro and should def be released as a single, don't let excellent songs like How to break a heart, the difference and reach out linger as album tracks, hit singles if ever I heard one. Album now on permanent loop on my iPod, I just love it!! Amazing, Fantastic, Brilliant etc, etc not enough words in any language to describe how good it is, everyone buy it NOW!!!'
