Last month Westlife headed across to Oslo, Norway, to take place in the Nobel Peace Prize Concert honouring President Barack Obama.
While the boys were there, they put their signatures to a special piece of artwork created by Will Smith, which will be auctioned off on eBay to help raise money for hungry children in Haiti.
The World Food Programme and the Will & Jada Family Foundation created the artwork - based on a map of world hunger - and encouraged the stars of the Nobel Peace Prize Concert to add their signatures to the piece.

First No.1 artist of the new millennium with their double-A-side single, "I Have a Dream" / "Seasons in the Sun", which knocked Cliff Richard's "The Millennium Prayer" off the top spot.

In 2001: launched their first world tour, unofficially nicknamed "The No Stools Tour", after their reputation for performing whilst perched on stools!

Singles from this album: "Uptown Girl", "Queen of My Heart" and "World of Our Own" all went to #1. This album led to their 2nd tour(Europe and UK).
