Farewell to Westlife as fans enjoy last concert

Westlife played their Farewell Tour at AsiaWorld-Expo last Saturday. Two Young Post junior reporters were chosen to attend the concert and write about their experience.

Irish boy band Westlife were in Hong Kong for their farewell concert, which was also the last destination of their Asia tour.

Westlife delivered an amazing and impeccable performance by singing the greatest hits of their 14-year career, with more than 15 songs, including the hit singles My Love, If I Let You Go, Seasons in the Sun, You Raise Me Up, Flying Without Wings, and What About Now.

All four members - Nicky, Shane, Kian and Mark - once again managed to tug on the audience's heart strings with their angelic voices. The highlight of the evening was when the band sang You Raise Me Up, and they asked fans to take out their phones and lift them to the air, as if the whole venue was filled with candles. They also asked everyone to sing along with them.

The atmosphere was spectacular and touched all our hearts. Another highlight was when the band asked eight of their lucky fans to go on stage and sing with them. Westlife was kind enough to hug every single one of them and took many pictures on stage. This created a lot of jealousy among those who didn't get the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Although it is very sad to know this was their last concert in Hong Kong, it also marked a sublime full stop in the hearts of Westlife fans.
