14 years and 44 million records sold later, Ireland's biggest export Westlife are calling it quits. Formed in 1998, the four-piece (originally a five-piece until Brian McFadden left in 2004) made history by having their first seven singles hit #1 on the UK and Irish charts. Last year they announced their departure from Simon Cowell's record label Syco Music, dissatisfied at how they had been handled by the mogul post his American Idol and X-Factor success. Their Greatest Hits was released on RCA/Sony last November, charting at #4 in the UK and selling 430,000 copies - enough to make it one of the top-selling albums of the year.
The group will disband definitively - they have vowed never to regroup - after wrapping up their Greatest Hits/Farewell Tour, whose tour dates you can see below.
