FORMER Westlife star Shane Filan will be heading to Cardiff next month as part of his UK and Ireland tour.

The release of his hit album Right Here has cemented Shane's position as one of the most popular solo artists following his amazing success with Westlife. This tour promises to show just why Shane is so well loved in his own right.

Shane said: "I am so looking forward to getting out on the road in March 2016. This is going to be quite a tour. I am really proud of ‘Right Here’ and now can’t wait to perform the new songs live, alongside some old favourites."

Right Here debuted at number one on the Irish album charts and number 11 in the UK on its first week of release.

Shane added: “For me, there is nothing quite like the moment I see the audience singing along to the songs I wrote, and I hope the ‘Right Here’ tour will be just as memorable and just as special. I cannot wait to see all the fans again.”

Westlife had fourteen chart-topping singles and forty-four million sales. Their career, Shane says, “fulfilled all of our dreams 1000 times over.” It’s been a remarkable journey for a singer-songwriter who grew up inspired by an admiration of Backstreet Boys and Michael Jackson.

See Shane at St David's Hall, Cardiff on March 9.
