Westlife, no cover lovers
|
Westlife have revealed they were on the verge of splitting up after becoming weary of doing cover versions.
The Irish man band have told how they pleaded with music mogul Simon Cowell to find them some original material for fear they were turning into a covers band.
Nicky Byrne told The Daily Star: "The label wanted us to do Westlife: At The Movies - a great f****** marketing idea but we felt we were drifting."
Ironically, Byrne added: "The single is a cover but it's 90% original material and I think this is our best album."
Westlife's new album, Back Home is due for release on November 5.
