Westlife singer misses out on windfall

Former Westlife member and bankrupt Shane Filan is to end up empty-handed from a €2.382m windfall that is to be shared among the former band members.

It comes following the winding up of the band’s main entertainment firm, Bluenet Ltd, by remaining directors and former band members, Kian Egan, Nicky Byrne, and Mark Feehily.

However, Filan is to miss out on his share, estimated to be between €476,400 and €595,500, as the monies will go to his bankruptcy trustee.
