Westlife singer Mark Feehily has revealed he has pneumonia and will miss some of the band’s upcoming shows.
The singer released a statement on Instagram after missing the Wild Dreams show in Newcastle on Friday.
Feehily says his pneumonia is “under control” but that he needs to focus on recovery after already missing some of the scheduled performances.
After withdrawing from the tour on Friday and Saturday, Feehily said:
“I really was gutted to miss the weekend shows in Newcastle but I really started to feel quite unwell on Friday and the doctors confirmed that it’s a bout of pneumonia.
“I know it’s scary when you first hear the word ‘Pneumonia’ but thankfully I got to the doctor and hospital very quickly and got on the antibiotics as soon as possible, so everything is currently under control”.

He said that has been informed that the quickest way to recovery is to rest and continue the antibiotics and said that he is feeling a bit better every day.
Feehily reassured his fans saying:
“The nurses and doctors are taking amazing care of me so it should all be over in no time. This does however mean missing more performances which is horrible but I’ll be back on stage as soon as I get the all-clear.”

Feehily said in the post that the other band members will continue the Westlife Wild Dream tour.
“Nicky, Shane, and Kian will continue to fly the Westlife flag high for all of us. Please scream even louder than usual for those three legends in my absence”.
