Westlife Spilt
Irish boyband, Westlife have been together for 14 years but have announced that they will be spiltting up. They will be touring 9 UK cities for thier farewell tour in May next year and a greatest hit collection will be released on 21st November.
Westlife have said in statement, “Today we announce our plan to go our separate ways after a greatest hits collection this Christmas and a farewell tour next year.
“The decision is entirely amicable and after spending all of our adult life together so far, we want to have a well-earned break and look at new ventures.
“Over the years Westlife has become so much more to us than just a band. Westlife are a family. We would like to thank our fans who have been with us on this amazing journey and are part of our family too.
“We never imagined when we started out in 1998 that 14 years later we would still be recording, touring and having hits together. It has been a dream come true for all of us.”
Dappy goes to Butlins
Dappy, who of course is part of N-Dubz, recently took his family to none other than that Butlins in Bognor, West Sussex. There is lots for children to do at the holiday park as Dappy has explained saying “I could have gone to Florida, but Butlins is appropriate for the kids,”
“It has everything. I took the boys go-karting and we’ve been on all the fairground rides. I didn’t want to let any fans down, so had my pictures taken with them all.”
His two children Gino and Milo are 3 and 10 years old and of course girlfriend Kaye Vassell went along too.
Maybe they will save Florida for next year.
The Voice
The American, singing programme called The Voice is getting British version which will hit our screens next year.
Essex singer Jessie J has been confirmed as one of the judges and another big star who is currently in talks to be on the judging panel is Tom Jones.
A source has said “Tom is close to committing. He has almost 50 years experience in music so he’ll be able to give contestants decent advice.
“Jessie J will attract younger viewers but Tom’s bound to be the housewives’ favourite.”
Jessie has expressed her excitment of being part of the show by saying “I’m excited to be a coach, inspiration and mentor and I jumped at the opportunity as it’s all about ‘The Voice’.” and she also has encouraged people to enter the competiton on twitter by tweeting “So its OFFICIAL I am the first coach for the THE VOICE UK!
