Westlife rubbish solo claim

LONDON, UK (AP) - Westlife have rubbished their manager's suggestion that Shane and Bryan may be headed for solo careers, dotmusic can exclusively reveal.
Speaking at a press conference in London today, Bryan poured cold water on the rumours, which emerged earlier this week. He insisted: "Our Greatest Hits is due next year and we're already starting to think about our fourth Westlife album."
Speaking to a UK pop magazine, manager Louis Walsh had also said that he hated the band's last album.
Responding to this today, Kian joked: " He's a very honest person. He's a very musically minded person." "'Coast To Coast' sold eight million so I hope he absolutely despises this one," Bryan added.
Speaking at the international press launch of their forthcoming album, 'World Of Our Own' - where the boys exclusively performed two new tracks from the album - they also revealed that they are to be the subject of a BBC documentary in early September.

However, Bryan confessed that he has no plans to pursue television presenting following his stint on the This Morning sofas with girlfriend Kerry Katona.
"I don't think you'll ever see me presenting This Morning again, 'cause getting up at that time isn't for me," he laughed.

Westlife also announced plans to embark on a European round 'in the round' next year.
