IRISH pop sensation Westlife is set to ignite the Malaysian stage once more, following their triumphant two-night extravaganza at Axiata Arena last year. This time, the boy band will be gracing the stage at Arena of Stars, Resorts World Genting on June 9.
Returning to the very same venue after 24 years, Westlife is primed to dazzle fans with their timeless hits, including classics like Uptown Girl, If I Let You Go, Fool Again and many more. Although Mark Feehily will be missed, his absence is due to health reasons.
In a heartfelt statement shared on Instagram in early March, Feehily revealed his decision to forego the tour due to health concerns, having undergone four major surgeries for sepsis and hernia in recent years.
“I’m so devastated that I won’t be there to celebrate the upcoming concerts with you and the three lads. I hope you know and understand that I should have been there.
“But for now, I have to make the right decision for my health and wellbeing, for my family, and for myself as a person. Please don’t worry,” he said.
Since their inception in 1998, Westlife has transcended the boy band era of the 2000s, solidifying its status as a global phenomenon with record-breaking achievements. With over 55 million records sold, 36 No 1 albums, 3 billion global streams and a plethora of accolades, including World Music Awards, Brit Awards, MTV Awards and Record of the Year Awards, Westlife continues to ride the wave popularity despite no longer being teenyboppers.
Tickets to Westlife The Hits Tour 2024 are priced at RM1,188, RM988, RM788, RM588 and RM388.
