We decided to take a trip down memory lane to the decade when boybands were thriving – the noughties.
It’s safe to say that the 00s was a golden decade for our very own homegrown group Westlife. DIe heart fans will still be able to recite the lyrics of ‘Uptown Girl’, ‘Flying Without Wings’ and not forgetting ‘ Bop Bop Baby’.
When Byran McFadden decided to leave Westlife in 2004, the band’s success continued for many years and the remaining members even released their autobiography, ‘Our Story’ back in 2008.
Check out the selection of throwback photos captured of the boyband and their dedicated fans during the 00s, from shooting the video for ‘World Of Our Own’ to their performances at the Point.
