WESTLIFE'S DRUNKEN DINNERS

Irish quarter Westlife are amazed at how much alcohol they used to drink and say they can no longer party the way they used to.
Westlife used to skip meals to get drunk.
The 'Flying Without Wings' group admit that their advancing years mean they can no longer party as hard as they used to and can't believe how they used to behave.
Singer Nicky Byrne said: "It you think back to when we were 21, it was like, 'Who cares about food? Just get a bottle of vodka down your neck by 12 o'clock'. Now that we're hitting 30, it's different."
His bandmate Shane Filan added to Cosmopolitan magazine: "The older we get, the more we prefer a good restaurant to a club. But as long as you have a drink and a laugh..."
Even though they now prefer quiet nights, the 'World Of Our Own' hitmakers love going out together - because it gives them a chance to wear matching outfits.
Mark Feehily said: "We love getting dressed up as a band. When we went to Simon Cowell's 50th birthday party, we all got ready together in a hotel room and put expensive suits on."

Westlife better than me -- Buble

Michael Buble has paid Westlife the ultimate compliment, claiming their version of his hit song Home is better than the original.
The hunky star, who paid a visit to Dublin last week, initially had doubts about agreeing to let the band do the cover, but is now delighted he gave it the go ahead. The Canadian star went on to explain that he was extremely jealous when the foursome were given the opportunity to shoot their video in an airplane.
He said: "Westlife have done a tremendous job with the song. I thought they sang incredibly on it.
"It was really a great job, I actually preferred it.
"They had the beautiful harmony parts and they made the choruses so big and of course they had an aeroplane in their video. I was just a little bit jealous.
"It probably had, like, room service and fancy condiments. I just had a crappy theatre in mine."
The singer came face to face with the lads backstage at the X Factor, when they appeared on the results show on the same night.

All About Mark :-) X

Mark Michael Patrick Feehily (born 28 May 1980 in Sligo, Ireland), better known as Mark Feehily, is a member of the popular Irish vocal pop group, Westlife.
He has two younger brothers named Barry (born 1985) and Colin (born 1989). His parents are Marie and Oliver Feehily.
In Westlife's music, Mark is distinctive for his rich, soulful voice, which is prominently featured in all of Westlife's songs. He shares most lead vocals with Shane Filan.
Before Westlife Mark Shane Filan and Kian Egan came from the band IOU where he had partly written the band's songs, Everlasting Love and Together Girl Forever.
Feehily has also co-written a few songs, along with the other band members, including:
Imaginary Diva
Reason For Living
Crying Girl
You Don't Know
Never Knew I Was Losing You
Where We Belong
Singing Forever
I Won't Let You Down
You See Friends (I See Lovers)
I'm Missing Loving You
Miss You When I'm Dreaming
Reach Out

Feehily publicly came out as gay in the UK tabloid The Sun, and announced his long-term relationship with Kevin McDaid, a member of the now-defunct British boy band V. In an interview he said, "My life has got umpteen times better. My sexuality doesn't define me as a person, but it's a huge part of anyone to be open about it. It's changed my life totally as I feel so much happier and at ease. It's the best thing I've ever done." Unlike his band mates, for years Feehily did not discuss his private life. His manager Louis Walsh was unaware of Feehily's sexuality when he picked him for the band.
The pair have been dating since January 2005 after having met at a Cheerios Childline Concert in Ireland. In yet another interview, Feehily told the Sydney Morning Herald that despite the fact that the majority of Westlife's fans are female, there had really been no negative reaction. "I am so much happier now and I think our fans can see that," he said. "Through the years of getting to the point where I wanted to come out, I had to go through every kind of emotion, but I can honestly say that the day before I came out, I didn't care what the reaction was going to be. That was the hardest point to get to."
Feehily said that while he did not intend on getting married right away, he is happy to know he could form a civil partnership in Britain with the recent passing of the Civil Partnership Act. They both say that when the time is right, they will look into having a civil partnership ceremony.
In December 2007, Mark and Kevin appeared on the cover of Attitude magazine. They also did a joint interview. In this interview, Mark stated that he wants to grow old with Kevin, and that the pair believe that they will be together forever.
Mark and Kevin also own a pet pug called Saffy.
