ONE of the country’s biggest boybands is expected to announce a reunion.

Westlife have reportedly signed a contract with a new record label.

But Brian McFadden is said to have rejected the opportunity to rejoin the band, after leaving in 2004.

Tour dates and some new material are expected from the foursome in the coming months.

A source told the Irish Sun: “It’s signed, sealed and delivered and it’s definitely happening — and it absolutely does not include Brian McFadden.

“The other guys have been lined up to return to the studio and record some new songs and tour dates have even been organised, so it’s definitely going ahead this time.

“There’s been a lot of speculation, but this time it’s a done deal and contracts have been signed.”

McFadden has recently been touring with Keith Duffy of Boyzone as part of Boyzlife.

The pair toured the country before the greatest hits of both bands.
