SPIT ON US Westlife. The Irish boyband touched the lives of millions of tweens worldwide with their dulcet tones, leather jackets and floppy hair.
But were you a SUPER FAN? Or, still.
1. You’ve loved them from the moment you first saw that over-gelled hair
2… and quickly vowed to marry a man with a blonde step or frosted tips
3. You cried for days when Bryan left
4… and remember the horrific shirt Nicky was wearing when they announced it
5. You still know all the lyrics to this song despite it breaking your heart
6. You know that open ties are cool
7. As well as sitting on stools
8. You saw them in the o2 at least 4 times
9. And smelled like them for most of your formative years
10. You covered your school things in Westlife pictures
11. As far as you’re concerned, Uptown Girl is their song
12. You follow EVERYTHING they do now
13. You know bizarre things about each member
Mark is terrified of birds and Bryan went to the same school as Mikey from Boyzone.
14. You saw a panto or show just because Bryan’s sister was in it
15. You went to one of their farewell tour dates in Croke Park and water-logged the stadium with your tears
16. You’ve visited their hometowns in Sligo and Dublin
17. You genuinely planned to get this when you were older
18. And can almost tolerate Bertie because of his Nicky Byrne connections
19. But most importantly, you live in hope that they’ll re-unite some day
