Will Mark Feehily be performing at the Westlife anniversary tour?
Mark had to miss out on the Royal Albert Hall concert, after he suffered from sepsis in 2020 followed by pneumonia.
Fans had been hopeful that the star would return for the anniversary shows next year, but it's not to be.
Speaking on The One Show, Shane Filan said: "He's very much part of the band. Unfortunately he's unable to join us for the tour but we love Mark to bits.
"We can't wait to have him back. This tour is going to be the three of us but we're very much looking forward to it."
Kian Egan added: "He's on the new music as well. There's some songs on there and the vocals are incredible so we're really excited for everyone to hear that as well."
The band also shared a statement online, confirming: "Sadly, Mark will be unable to join the celebrations. We hope he can join us back on stage when he is ready and able. He sends his love and positivity to you all as always."
The tour will feature Shane and Kian plus Nicky Byrne.
