Publisher's Synopsis

The biggest pop band in the world celebrate 10 years at the top - telling their full story in their own words for the very first time.

40 million albums
14 UK number 1 singles
7 UK number 1 albums

Westlife have had more number ones than any other artist apart from The Beatles and Elvis and with songs that have become modern classics like Flying without Wings, they have ensured their place in the annals of pop history.

Westlife - The Autobiography will chart the highs and lows of their phenomenonal career and a unique friendship that has seen them endure as a band for an extraordinary ten years. The book will chronicle the band's story from the grass-roots of Sligo, Ireland to multi-platinum records, celebrity collaborations and chart achievements. But bubbling under this public face is a private and unseen story never before recorded, crammed with candid personal revelations, including of course the departure of Brian McFadden.

Westlife have been a staple part of British entertainment for years, yet the public has no idea of the astounding life they have led - and still live - behind the headlines and soundbites. Here, for the first time, Westlife will take us into their confidence and reveal their lives and amazing ten year journey as the UK's biggest pop band as never before.
