Westlife Sheffield: Mark Feehily misses Newcastle gig 'under doctor's orders' ahead of Utilita Arena gig

The legendary Irish quartet are on the road for their Wild Dreams 2022 tour and are set for a massive gig at the Steel City venue this evening, Monday, November 28.

But at a gig in Newcastle on Friday night, lead vocalist Mark did not join Shane, Nicky and Kian on stage. The trio sang opening number Starlight before explaining his absence, sparking concern among fans for his wellbeing.

In a statement on his Instagram page, Mark wrote: “I'm so sorry to tell you I won't be able to join the boys on stage tonight in Newcastle.

"I felt really feverish last night after the Manchester gig, then the same again this morning but a whole lot worse - been with the doctor and he says there's no way in the world I should do the show tonight."

Now, it remains to be seen if the Irish singer vocalist – who wowed judges as Robobunny on The Masked Singer earlier this year – will be joining the boys on stage at 8.45pm tonight at the Sheffield Utilita Arena.
