Neil Sean's Gossip

Neil Sean's Gossip 26/8

Mark Feehily has revealed that Westlife may not be on the brink of divorce, as reported. Mark says it would be more like an extended break.

"We've been together seven years and had 12 No.1s. If this album fails, we plan to take time out - maybe a year, two years - until we've all tried different directions.

"Our swing album, To Be Perfectly Frank, was one of our most successful to date and it will be hard to top, but it's all down to the fans."

I can also reveal that the band are all recording their own solo material - one member's even hooking up with Barry Manilow for a track... Way to go, guys.
