All you hard-core Westlife fans around the globe fear not; the boys may now be a four-piece but their stage show is as good as ever... perhaps even better!

Ever since Bryan McFadden departed Westlife recently their die-hard fans have been lamenting his leaving on ShowBiz Ireland's message boards - their biggest fear is that the band would suffer without him.

So ShowBiz Ireland got up off its Dublin-bound ass last night and followed the boys up to Belfast to check-out the opening show of their Turn Around World Tour to see if there was any need for fans to worry...

And we are happy to report that the boys are as strong as ever and we'd even go as far to say that this latest blow has pushed them that little bit further to put more into their individual performances.

Although Bryan will be dearly missed it looks like Westlife are here to stay... Expect another 12 number one singles before they finally hang-up their hats!
