Westlife to quit if no one wants them anymore
Published April 20, 2004
... here's a ray of sunshine. Westlife have said they will quit if their next single isn't a hit.
According to the ever reliable Daily Star, Nicky Byrne has said: "If the next record doesn't work then, yeah, it might be the end. But, if it does work out, it's definitely not the end, it's as simple as that. We'll get the record out and, hopefully, it will be very successful. But we're not trying to fool anybody. We've had a fantastic career and we really want to continue it. But it's up to us four to make the effort."
Lead singer Shane Filan added: "We love what we do but we know that our shelf-life will run out soon. We'd like to carry on forever but that's not really up to us, it's up to the fans."
Of course the comments may be a clever attempt to encourage the band's remaining fan base to buy the single and in doing so overcome the growing speculation post-Bryan McFadden's departure that the boy band are on their way out.
Either way, we're getting that commitment in writing so we can hold them to it should things swing our way.
