The Greatest Hits Tour is the twelfth concert tour by Irish boy band, Westlife. The tour, visiting the United Kingdom and Ireland, will support the group’s compilation album, Greatest Hits. When the tour is complete, the group will disband after performing for 14 years.
In October 2011, the group revealed plans for the release of a compilation album, spanning their entire career. Many media outlets speculated the band would tour the album. An official announcement was made on 18 October 2011, a mere week after ending their previous tour in Southeast Asia. On the statement released on the group’s website, it reported they would perform all 14 of their number one hits along with other favorites. After announcing the tour, tabloids rumored the band would breakup after their tour was done. On 20 October 2011, the members of the band made an official announcement of their disbanding. They responded:
“We see the greatest hits collection and the farewell tour as the perfect way to celebrate our incredible career along with our fans. We are really looking forward to getting out on the tour and seeing our fans one last time. We would like to thank our fans who have been with us on this amazing journey and are part of our family too. We never imagined when we started out in 1998 that 14 years later we would still be recording, touring and having hits together. It has been a dream come true for all of us.”
