Gruelling schedule almost caused Westlife split
Westlife have revealed how their gruelling schedule almost caused them to split up.
The Irish pop band have had a record breaking 12 number one singles in the UK, and won the UK record of the year for Mandy.
But Mark Feehily told MTV Europe: "We knew that we had to change how we worked or give up our careers.
"Now our tour manager makes sure that we have at least one day off every two or three weeks, it may not sound a lot, but it's more than we used to get.
"But none of us like to take time off because we love what we do so much."
And he added: "We want to be like the Bee Gees - around forever. In music terms we want to become more than just an act that people like for a few years and then tire of."
