It was 'Westlife day' at RTÉ's Donnybrook studios, with Friday night's show opening with the band performing their new single, for the very first time.
Fresh off the announcement of a record-breaking 13 homecoming shows in Dublin, Shane Filan, Nicky Byrne and Kian Egan chatted to Kielty about their first time meeting Louis Walsh (including a near-death experience at a roundabout in Dublin's Darndale), the power of nostalgia and their dedicated fans. "It's one of the best weeks ever in Westlife, it's like we're back in 1999," Filan remarked when asked about the band's reaction to selling out dozens of nights at the 3Arena.
