McFadden: It's the end for boybands

Former Westlife star Brian McFadden is convinced boybands are a dying breed - because the music-buying public are no longer interested in watching groups "dancing around".

The singer - whose debut solo single Real To Me was released yesterday - believes guitar-driven pop bands like Busted and McFly have stolen the limelight once dominated by hunky, choreographed all-male outfits.
