Westlife on The One Show

Last night saw Westlife make an appearance on The One Show to promote their new single, Chariot, which is being released as part of their 25th anniversary celebrations.

Shane Filan, Nicky Byrne and Kian Egan joined Gabby Logan and JB Gill on the sofa to discuss the new song. The boys are currently touring without Mark Feehily, who had to pull out of their tour due to ill health.

“We are 25 years together. Looking back on it all now, it’s been a very special 25 years. All the hits that we’ve had, we’ve been very lucky boys,” Shane said.

“But right now, it feels like the energy is different; we feel like a new lease of life and stuff,” he then continued.

“It’s very exciting.”
