Westlife's Nicky reveals the boy band nearly broke up
We were so close… Westlife’s Nicky Byrne (one of the little ones that never sings lead vocals) has revealed that the Irish boy band was close to splitting up after disappointing sales of their 2004 album, ‘Allow Us To Be Frank’. The rat pack style swing effort performed so poorly that the boys thought their next album, ‘Face to Face’, would be their last. Sadly, this was apparently not to be.
Nicky confirms: "After the big band-theme album ‘Allow Us To Be Frank’ was our least successful, we thought we were making our last album on ‘Face To Face’. If you’d asked me then...I’d have said we were on our arse. Then 'You Raise Me Up' was the biggest comeback." On new album ‘Back Home’, Nicky enthuses: "The single ('Home') is a cover, but it’s 90% original material and I think this is our best album." How I wish he would substitute the word ‘best’ for ‘last’. Never mind.

Allow Us To Be Frank is a great album. It is strange that it was not accepted by public. I like the guys a lot.
