Product Description
The Sunday Times No1 bestseller!
The biggest pop band in the world celebrate 10 years at the top – telling their full story in their own words for the very first time.
40 million albums
14 UK number 1 singles
7 UK number 1 albums
Westlife have had more number ones than any other artist apart from The Beatles and Elvis and with songs that have become modern classics like Flying without Wings, they have ensured their place in the annals of pop history.
Westlife – Our Story will chart the highs and lows of their phenomenonal career and a unique friendship that has seen them endure as a band for an extraordinary ten years. The book will chronicle the band’s story from the grass-roots of Sligo, Ireland to multi-platinum records, celebrity collaborations and chart achievements. But bubbling under this public face is a private and unseen story never before recorded, crammed with candid personal revelations, including of course the departure of Brian McFadden.
Westlife have been a staple part of British entertainment for years, yet the public has no idea of the astounding life they have led – and still live – behind the headlines and soundbites. Here, for the first time, Westlife will take us into their confidence and reveal their lives and amazing ten year journey as the UK’s biggest pop band as never before.

Format:Paperback
The only reason that I bought the paperback edition of 'Westlife: Our Story' was for the extra chapter about the massive Croke Park gig in June 2008! My mum thought it was a complete waste as I already have the the hardback edition which was signed in Belfast when the band were promoting the initial release of the book, but being the Westlife fanatic that I am I had to preorder it for this chapter!
The book is a fantastic read for anyone who is a Westlife fan as it gives us an insight into the incredible journey of the band over the past 10 Years, and it also give an insight into the personality of each of the lads as it is obviously them who are recalling the events of the course of the book! The extra chapter about Croke Park in this paperback edition was great as it reminded me of how amazing the Croke Park gig was and allowed me to relive the concert in my mind and it also gave me an insight into how the lads felt on the build up to the gig, during the gig and after the gig!
The new pics in the book are also beautiful, especially the one of Patrick Filan, who is a total cutie!!
Loved this book and would definately recommend it to any Westlife fan who hasnt already read it!

A very compelling read. Full of candour, honesty, raw emotions. I'd gladly read it over and over. Anecdotes about tours, childhood, family and friend dynamics are inspiring to every aspiring artist. Westlife remind the world of the importance of being grounded in an ordinary life, in order to live an extraordinary one. In a world of excess--celebrities gone bad, mad, wild, mild--Westlife are amazingly down-to-earth, genuine, and authentic. This book tells the full story!
