Kian Egan denies Westlife departure

Kian Egan has reassured his fans that he will not be quitting Westlife after an 'announcement' was made on his official Twitter page.

It has now been confirmed by the boyband member that his account had been hacked.

The singer had appeared to have announced his departure from the group on his Twitter page, saying: "Future. The boys are going to continue as a three piece."

Later, Egan took to his wife Jodi Albert's page to write: "Hi Everyone Kian here on Jodi's account. I am NOT Leaving Westlife. Someone has hacked into my account. Trying to sort out my account now. X (sic)."

Fellow Westlife member Markus Feehily confirmed the news, adding: "Don't worry my little cherubs Kian HAS been hacked...he's not leaving! Happy Easter x (sic)."

Egan currently manages wife Albert's girl group Wonderland, who released debut single 'Not a Love Song' in March. He also revealed that Westlife would like to duet with Tinie Tempah in the future.
