Cold Comfort For Westlife
HUNKS JET OFF AFTER GATELY FUNERAL
Westlife jetted to Iceland yesterday to shoot the video for their new single - the day after attending tragic Stephen Gately's funeral.
The pop sensations flew out 24 hours after Boyzone star Stephen's emotional funeral in Dublin - and sources said the band delayed plans to shoot the video so that they could pay their respects to the singer.
Shane Filan (30), Nicky Byrne (31), Mark Feehily (29) and Kian Egan (29) will use the snowy background of Iceland to record the video for latest single What About Now.
Shine
The chart-toppers will launch the single - their first in two years - on Friday in Ireland and next Monday in the UK.
The pop hunks recorded the new song with Steve Robson, who also produced Take That's smash hit Shine.
The Flying Without Wings stars will release their new album - which is tipped to be called Where We Are - on November 30.

New life into Westlife... with album

They promise a "brand new sound" but I'm guessing they haven't strayed into hip-hop or metal.

Westlife return with new single
By 3am's Clemmie Moodie & Danielle Lawler
They've been gone a while... but Oirish crooners Westlife are back with a surprise new single.
What About Now is the lads' first new track since 2007 - and fans could be in for a mild shock.
Mark Feehily tells us: "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."
Let's hope it's as good as phase one.

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.
