Westlife（西城男孩；又译西域男孩）是在1998年成立的爱尔兰男子组合。 Westlife在爱尔兰和英国走红，在非洲、澳大利亚与亚洲也很受欢迎。在1999年至2005年间，Westlife发行13张单曲唱片并在英国高居榜单首位；其榜单排名历史第四位，仅次于Elvis Presley、The Beatles和Cliff Richard。西城男孩也是英国流行音乐史上唯一一支前七支单曲空降榜首的乐队。他们也是唯一一个在英国拿过四次“年度最佳专辑”的组合。西城男孩在世界范围内售出四千万张专辑，其中包括七张超白金专辑。
In a statement posted on their website, Westlife said:“We today announce our plan to go our separate ways after a greatest hits collection this Christmas and a farewell tour next year.”
“The decision is entirely amicable and after spending all of our adult life together so far, we want to have a well-earned break and look at new ventures.”
“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.”
It continued， “Over the years Westlife has become so much more to us than just a band. Westlife are a family.”
“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.”
西城男孩在其官方网站上发表声明，“今天我们宣布，在今年圣诞的精选辑及明年的告别巡演后，我们将解散。”
“这个决定是经过我们友好协商的结果。至今我们一起度过了我们的成年生活，我们想要一个本应有的喘息的机会，然后开始新的征程。”
“为了和歌迷们共同庆祝令我们难以置信的职业生涯，我们安排了精选辑和告别巡演，这是最完美的方式。我们真的很期待这次巡演，来最后一次见到我们的歌迷。”
声明上还说道：“这些年来，西城男孩对于我们来说意味着很多。西城男孩不仅仅只是一个组合，它更是一个家。”
“我们想要感谢一路支持我们的歌迷，你们也是我们这个家庭的一部分。”
“1998年当我们出道时我们从没想过14年后我们还在录制唱片、巡演以及拥有热门的歌曲。对于我们来说，美梦皆已成真。”
