Westlife have announced that they've got a brand new album coming out! Shane Filan, Mark Feehily, Kian Egan and Nicky Byrne have announced that they'll be releasing their first album in nine years in two months - and fans have gone absolutely wild!

Taking to Twitter, the boys shared a video of themselves announcing the news that the album, entitled 'Spectrum', will be out on the 15th November, telling the camera, "Hi, we're Westlife! You can pre-order our brand new album right now, it's called 'Spectrum', and it's the best album we've done ever!"

Fans immediately flocked to the comments section with messages of excitement, with many writing that they simply can't wait to hear the boys' new music. One wrote, 'And they’re back! We’ve missed ya, Westlife😝😁. Spectrum, bring it on!!' as another added, 'So excited to hear your full album!'

One more commented, 'All of your albums are the best of all time anyway😜♥♥ but yaasssshhh!! Can’t wait to hear all the new stuff!!!!' and another wrote, 'So can not wait.. Thanks lads what I so needed today to hear!'

This comes after Westlife made their comeback late last year, and released their comeback single 'Hello My Love' in January 2019 to critical acclaim, written by Ed Sheeran. It was their first single release since 2011.

The group have also just got back from playing 'The Twenty Tour', which has seen them play 34 dates in the UK and Ireland, as well as 17 shows in Asia.
