Westlife’s Mark Feehily has taken to social media – his first post since June 2024 – to share a health update with fans.
The 45-year-old Flying Without Wings singer took to Instagram to reveal he is making a career comeback after three years away.
Mark revealed he will be launching his RTE Radio One programme in Ireland, sharing a snap of himself with a pair of headphones as he sits in a studio. His new radio show comes as Westlife embarks on an ambitious world tour without him.

Westlife’s Mark Feehily issues health update
In a lengthy caption, Mark told his 418,000 followers: “It’s been quite difficult to watch my band’s big World Tour launch knowing I won’t be there to join the party. The 25th anniversary tour is gonna be a really special celebration of what we have all built and achieved together.
“To everyone who has shown me such kindness recently, those I know, and those I’ve never met, your support has kept me going and given me strength when I didn’t have a any of my own.”
However, Mark continued his health battles are still ongoing.
“All of this really drives home the honest truth that I’m simply not ready to take on a massive world tour yet,” he wrote. “My body and my mind need time. However, thankfully, sitting in a chair to do a radio show is a completely different physical and mental demand to doing a massive world tour.”
The singer added he felt “very lucky” to be doing a new radio show, which will be on air on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
