Westlife 'plan tour for World Cup'
Westlife have revealed that they plan to schedule their tour to coincide with the World Cup in South Africa.

The group, who are expected to embark on a six-month jaunt next year, said that they are eager to support the Irish national football team next summer.

"We will tour more next year and go places we haven't been much like South Africa," Shane Filan told the Daily Star.

"That way we can cheer on Ireland at the World Cup."

Bandmate Kian Egan added that he feels confident about Ireland's prospects in the tournament.

"We play better against good teams so I'm sure we'll get through," he said.

Westlife released new single 'What About Now' on Monday. Their album Where We Are is out on November 30.
