Ed Sheeran has reportedly come onboard as part of Westlife’s hugely anticipated reunion!
The exciting news was announced this weekend, with a source confirming that Kian, Nicky, Shane and Mark are to reunite – with new music and tour dates expected to be revealed very soon.
Now, Ed Sheeran is getting involved!
The Thinking Out Loud singer, who has written songs for Justin Bieber and Olly Murs, is said to have penned the new track for the Irish boyband comeback!
“Westlife have really been pulling out all the stops for their big comeback and were desperate to get Ed on board.”
“It took quite some time to pull together and has been done totally behind closed doors, but he has finally given them the right record to make it happen.
“Having Ed involved is a huge coup. They think he will give them a contemporary edge for their reunion.
“They have already recorded the song and are delighted with the results. They’re just pulling together the final promo details including a video before they unveil it. It’s going to be huge,” the source added.
Westlife manager and former X Factor judge Louis Walsh previously revealed that he wanted the Grammy winner to come on board when the band finally reunited, following their farewell concerts in Croke Park back in 2012.
We can’t wait to hear what Ed has come up with!
