I just read that Westlife's concert in Norway was cancelled... I'm very sorry for the Norwegian fans and everyone who was going.
Apparently they cancelled it because of the time, and that they can`t get all the things over in Norway in time for the concert.
You can read an article about it in Norwegian HERE.

Shane's Filan Mashed After The Meteors...
Shane 'housing developer' Filan sure hit the sauce hard when he and the rest of the Westlife bunch partied at the Meteor Awards recently. In fact he was pisshhed! When the pop four-piece turned up at the Krystle after party, Shane looked like he was about ready to go find kebabs and curry chips on Dame Street... We've ALL been there folks. Hic.
Apparently Westlife's Shane 'the one who sings' Filan has only recently discovered a taste for Guinness. But from the looks of our post-Meteor Awards pictures we'd say he's developed a taste for Gunniess, Harp, Heineken, Smithwicks, Bud, Coors, Babysham, Snowballs, Buckfast and eh Scrumpy Jack. A true connoisseur of alcoholic beverages.
Shane Filan
It seems that our Shane is what we like to call, a 'pointy-drunk' person. You know the ones who are always pointing the finger all over the gaff when they've had one-too-many? One of those types. Think of your Da on Christmas night after skin-full. Got it? Yeah, that's it.
Shane Filan, Gillian Filan
Luckily Mr. Filan had his sexy new wife Gillian by his side to lead the way into the club and probably say things like: "wait till I get you home Mister" and "no, he's alright. He just needs air".
Kian Egan, Jodi Albert
Kian 'the brains of the operation' Egan was also at the VIP club with his fiancee Jodi Albert. It seems Kian likes to protect his partner's posterior from the prying paparazzi. Either that, or he was just giving the prospective wife an aul pat on the arse.
Nicky Byrne, Georgina Byrne
The rest of the Westlifers seemed far more reserved at the celeb-tastic afterparty. Nicky 'little Bertie' Byrne turned up with his wife Georgina looking like he spent the night on soft-drinks. Well, they have new born twins on the go, so it's responsible parenthood from here on out. Scary.
Kevin McDaid, Mark Feehily
Finally, Mark 'I miss my Saffie' Feehily and his fella Kevin McDaid marched proudly through the crowd of snappers linking-arms to get access to the club. Is it just us or do Mark & Kev look a bit like mannequins from the window of Next? A bit too perfectly groomed... The Stepford husbands.

Westlife to return to Belfast in May
Westlife, who performed the first of three sold-out dates in Ulster last night, have announced they will return to Northern Ireland in May.
The Irish boy band, who are celebrating their tenth anniversary this year, have always been a favourite with audiences in the Province.
With 14 number one singles and nine albums, the four-piece are one of the most successful pop bands ever.
And, with a decade in the music business, their longevity in the often fickle world of pop has made them a musical phenomenon.
They have made Belfast's Odyssey Arena their own in recent years with a string of sell-out shows at the venue.
The band will return to the Odyssey on May 27 for a show which comes days before a mammoth tenth birthday celebration in Dublin's Croke Park on June 1.
But the band have made no secret of their love for Northern Ireland audiences, and said on numerous occasions that the Province is one of their favourite places to perform.
Westlife perform at the Odyssey Arena on May 27. Tickets for the show will go on sale from usual outlets on March 1 at 9am.

Back Home Tour Review And Picture
*the links contain Tour SPOILERS*
Check the BACK HOME TOUR 2008 MINISITE as a concert review and one official tour picture have been added from last night's Back Home Tour opening show in Belfast!
Interview with Kian Egan
Marsya translated an interview of Kian from an Indonesian magazine. They interviewed Kian through phone. Thanx very much for translating it Marsya!
Hi Kian! Tell us about Westlife's new album Back Home!
-"There are a lot of special things in this album. There is a lot of variety, a lot of tempo, and different style in this album. We're gonna give surprises cos it's the best thing we've ever recorded. The songs are much stronger than the ones in previous albums. I'm sure our fans will love it."
Did you try to write your own songs?
Well, no. We know we're just singers not songwriters. And we trust the professional songwriters who write those songs for us."
Who wrote the songs in this album?
"There are many of em! Wait, wait, I'll try to remember..hmm...there's Steve Mac. He was the one who wrote singles like Swear It Again. Hmm...who else...there are too many or em! They often write songs for Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, and N Sync."
Your music seems to have developed into more "adult". Is it because your fans are getting older as well?
"Yeah. Becoming mature is what we're facing. We can't be young forever."
I see. I heard the new single is "Home", Michael Buble's song. Why do Westlife like to do covers?
"Well...there are a lot of great songs like Home that has never been a big hit. Michael Buble fans are different to ours so we're trying to sing that song for our fans and introducing the song to the world."
Why did you name this album "Back Home"?
"Because our first single is Home so we named the album with the words that have the same meaning. Back Home also reflects us; we're back doing what we're doing best: singing pop songs."
Do you still keep in touch with Brian McFadden?
"Yes. We often meet, although he's in Australia with his girlfriend Delta Goodrem now. We're still good friends with Brian. We have a great relationship."
Is there a possibility that Brian might come back to Westlife?
"No."
What are you guys trying to prove in this album?
"We're not trying to prove anything. We're just trying to make a great pop album, great pop songs for our fans. We just wanna be a great pop band and create great music. That's the most important thing for us."
What is the key to still remain together after 10 years?
"Maybe it's because we're very good friends. Our key is honesty. So if there's something that's bothering us we talk about it straight away. And that makes us love to perform together rather than going solo."
If Westlife splits up, what are you gonna do? Do you guys have plans?
"We never had other plans. We're just going this through. But if Westlife split up, I'd love to go around the world for a year. Then after that I'd think what I'm gonna do next."
Kian, Shane was married to your cousin right? Does that change your relationship with Shane?
"No. Not at all! Things are good for us. We have a very good relationship."
So when will you come back to Indonesia to promote the new album?
"Oh, I love Indonesia. I hope soon. Cos it will be great."
