Westlife and X-Factor star Mary Byrne to perform for Queen

Westlife and X Factor star Mary Byrne are among the headline acts to be confirmed for the Queen's first official visit to Ireland.

Two thousand guests have been invited to a special ceremony during the British monarch's trip, with Irish President Mary McAleese set to be the guest of honour at the event on May 19.

Chart-toppers Westlife and former supermarket worker Mary are on the bill for the evening, which organisers have described as "a roll call of the best of Irish entertainment".

Ambassador to Ireland Julian King is to host the so-called "return event" - an evening of fashion, music and theatre at the Dublin Convention Centre in the city's docklands.

"This is the first State Visit to Ireland, our closest neighbour," the Ambassador said.

"We wanted to mark this historic occasion, and to reflect the huge support and interest there has been in this visit."

He added: "We have put together a programme that showcases the best of British and Irish fashion, and brings together on one stage some of the finest performers working in Ireland today.

"It promises to be a memorable occasion, an opportunity to celebrate the Queen's visit, but also the love of music, the spoken word, fashion, and design that people from across our two countries share."

The return event is standard practice during a State tour when the visiting country arranges a special occasion for the host country. The evening is expected to be shown live on RTE television.

Westlife’s Kian falls victim to Twitter hacker

By Ken Sweeney Entertainment Editor

WESTLIFE star Kian Egan was last night forced to deny reports he was leaving Westlife after his Twitter account was hacked.

Some 70,000 followers to his Twitter account @KianEganWL were shocked to read a series of tweets allegedly from the Sligo singer, saying he was to walk away from the group.

“Got a very sad announcement everyone, I am leaving Westlife to concentrate on managing Wonderland. I haven’t taken this decision lightly . . . The boys are going to continue as a three piece . . . I am leaving.”

Originating from Egan’s official Twitter account, the tweets prompted panic among the group’s thousands of fans.

The confusion was made worse in the hours that followed after Egan’s Twitter account was deleted.

However, Egan told the Irish Independent last night “I am not leaving Westlife. My Twitter was hacked.”

Bogus

The 31-year-old boyband star said he first became aware of the bogus messages when he was called by a UK journalist at 6.30pm last night.

Contacting his UK record label he had attempted to have the tweets removed but instead found his Twitter account deleted.

The star said that the bogus tweets had also been read by the other members of Westlife who then contacted him.

“Everyone has rung me in the last hour from our manager Louis Walsh to Nicky (Byrne) to Mark (Feehily). They all knew straight away it wasn’t true but Mark did manage to make a joke out of it and said I had him sweating for a while. Shane (Filan) didn’t call because he is not on Twitter,” Egan said.

Last night fellow Westlife member Feehily attempted to assure fans when he tweeted “Don’t worry my little cherubs Kian HAS been hacked . . . he’s not leaving!”

Westlife star Nicky Byrne insists he respects Simon Cowell

By Vicky Allison

Westlife star Nicky Byrne has insisted he has the utmost ‘respect and admiration’ for Simon Cowell after previously claiming the music mogul was too busy to manage the Irish band properly.

Following Westlife’s split from Cowell’s Syco label last month after 13 years, singer Nicky had spoken about the group’s relationship with the X Factor boss.

He had said the band felt ‘unloved’ under Cowell’s management.
But today the 32-year-old took to his Twitter page to clear things up.

Nicky wrote: ‘For the record. I have nothing but respect and admiration for Simon Cowell. He was an excellent A&R man for us and delivered us unprecedented success globally with Westlife.

‘By me saying we felt unloved was a comment made on why we made our decision to leave Syco as a company.’

He then went on to thank the 51-year-old for helping him to get where he is today.

The singer said: ‘After a 13 year stint, it was the right time to begin something new with fresh faces and ideas. All sides felt the same and and no bad feelings were felt anywhere. We still are hugely thankful to Syco records and Simon Cowell as without them we wouldn’t be where we are today.

‘But 13 years is a long time in music and we all felt a change was needed! Hope that clears things up. Happy Easter!!’
