Westlife star Mark Feehily pulls out of performing

Yesterday (Wednesday, February 28) it was announced that Mark had pulled out of performing the remaining shows on Westlife‘s tour after undergoing surgery.

He had surgery for the fourth time since 2024 after doctors found a “very large incisional hernia”.

“That surgery took place recently and thankfully it went according to plan, but with that, my recovery must now become my absolute priority at this time,” he said in a statement.

“It is with the utmost level of regret that I must now temporarily stand down from all Westlife touring until a time that I have had the chance to fully recover from the turbulent journey I have been through as an individual. Believe me, I wish things could be different,” he then continued.

“I’m so devastated that I won’t be there to celebrate the upcoming concerts with you and the three lads. I hope you understand that I should have been there – I was so excited to be there –
