The remaining Westlife tour dates will not be subject to any seating issues, promoters have said.

Live Nation have issued a statement after hundreds of fans were told the would have to stand or leave ahead of the band's gig in Glasgow on Tuesday.

Organisers blamed traffic delays for the failure of essential equipment to arrive at the 13,000 capacity venue, which meant a stage-level seating area could not be set up.

The SSE Hydro posted a statement on its Facebook page minutes before doors opened to the concert telling fans they would have to stand or request a refund.

Westlife will return to the venue next week for shows on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
