Westlife have announced the first live dates to mark their 25th anniversary after they confirmed Mark Feehily wouldn’t be able to join them. Mark has been battling health issues for five years now and will not perform with them this October.

It has now been announced that Nicky Byrne, Shane Filan and Kian Egan will be performing for two special dates at the Royal Albert Hall in London. They will appear on October 27th and October 28th to mark their 25th anniversary.

In a statement to make the announcement, they said: “The Royal Albert Hall is a very special venue that we have always dreamt of playing. It means so much to kickstart our 25th Anniversary celebrations at this iconic venue. It will be an unforgettable 2 Nights performing all of our hits accompanied by the London Philharmonic Concert Orchestra… Wow!! We can’t wait to see you and remember to dress to impress ! This is just the beginning… Happy 25th to us all!”

Westlife announced yesterday that they would be performing as a trio to mark their 25th year in the music business.

“We are thrilled to announce the launch of our 25th Anniversary celebrations… On the 9th February 2001 we kicked off our first ever world tour at the Newcastle Arena. Who would have thought we would still be here 25 years later?” they wrote.

“We have so many exciting plans to share with you very soon which will include new music, an album, special shows and many, many more surprises along the way. 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.”

They added: “The four of us can’t quite believe its been 25 years. We could only have dreamt of the continued love and loyalty you have consistently shown us around the world. We are so lucky to have all of you with us and we can’t wait to celebrate together! Happy 25th To Us All! Love, Kian, Mark, Nicky & Shane x.”

Mark has been open about his health issues. He underwent surgery to treat a hernia and was also treated for sepsis in 2020. He wrote at the time: “Most of you are aware that I have had some health challenges over the past while. It actually all started 3.5 years ago in August 2020 when I had surgery. Within a few days of this surgery I was in severe pain and was rushed into AandE.

“I eventually ended that awful day in ICU (Intensive Care Unit) where I was informed that due to a complication with the surgery, I had developed severe “Sepsis”, a life-threatening infection that would require immediate emergency surgery to rectify the problem and basically save my life. I spent the next few months in hospital.”

Perfect for your next weekend getaway in the hills, camping near a coastal town or having some downtime in the great outdoors, the Berghaus Adhara Air Tent is a perfect pick for families and groups of five or less. Pitching takes just 20 minutes, which means more time to relax and unwind in the great outdoors, without the dreaded hassle of complicated construction.

Boasting airflow ventilation, the Adhara 500 Nightfall Tent promises to stay fresh no matter who is sleeping inside or for how long. Combined with the natural light from the clear window panels, it gives you a homely, liveable space that’s perfect for downtime, especially during turbulent weather.

With separate bedrooms sectioned off from the main space, this tent utilises darkening Nightfall technology to prevent rude awakenings from the early summer sun and comes with a removable divider for adaptable space.

Featuring a spacious living area with enough headroom for everyone under 6’4” ft, this tent comes with high-performance air beams for an even simpler setup, ensuring an easy and complication-free pitching. Plus, this tent also boasts a fully sealed sewn-in groundsheet for easier pitching and enhanced protection from the ground.

One five-star reviewer who has loved using this Berghaus tent left their praise in the following comment: “Owned this for 3 years now and am very happy with this excellent tent. Pitching is quick once you have practised a few times (peg four corners but do not stretch out too much; ensure the air valves are ‘popped out’; inflating the air beams is then easy; adjust the four peg positions so the sides are taut; peg-out fully). Pump comes with a gauge, and there is a pressure relief valve so you cannot over-inflate. Feels very study, even in strong winds. Exceptionally high hydrostatic head and sewn-in groundsheet means it stays dry even in driving rain. Nightfall compartments are effective.”

A shopper told fashion fans to run to TK Maxx after spotting the ‘cute’ bag that resembles a designer version

TK Maxx is stocking a leather bag that resembles a pricier version. The discount retailer has long been popular with shoppers searching for deals, and fashion lovers were amazed by one shopper’s recent find. Posting on TikTok as @siikha00, London-based blogger Sikha showcased a “gorgeous” £54.99 bag that she’d spotted in-store.

As seen in the video, the shopper found a genuine leather Silviano tote bag that was heavily discounted. According to the product tag, the bag’s RRP is usually £255, and Sikha thought it resembled another bag with a higher price tag.

She told followers: “Don’t walk, run to TK Maxx because I found this bag that kind of looks like the Dragon Diffusion bag that I’ve been wanting for the longest time.” She also included a picture of the Rosanna Woven Shoulder Bag, showing viewers her dream style.

Sikha continued: “It’s really cute. The material is a bit different of course because it is a different thing. It also has a zip, there’s a few pockets inside, which is very helpful.” Her caption added: “Defo get this if you’re on a budget and want to buy for similar vibes but not the same type.”

While the two bags differ in shape, they share a similar woven brown design. There’s also a price difference, as the Rosanna Woven Shoulder Bag currently retails for £315 at Fenwick.

Although it is not specified in the video, it looks like Sikha found the Silviano Mayfair – Signature Handwoven Leather Shopper Tote, which is listed at full price on the brand’s website.

The product description for the Silviano bag says: “Timeless and functional, the Mayfair is a tote built for the modern woman who appreciates heritage detail and effortless style. Whether for work, travel, or day-to-night dressing — this bag elevates any look.”

While Fenwick’s does not offer a detailed description of the Rosanna Woven Shoulder Bag, it does specify that the bag is leather. The brand description adds: “Inspired by traditional basket weaving cultures, let Dragon Diffusion elevate your accessories edit with a collection of carefully braided leather bags. Expertly hand-crafted, each and every design has been borne from insatiable curiosity.”

Shoppers loved the look of the Silviano bag. Replying to the TikTok video, someone praised: “Omggg so cute.” A similar comment read: “Omg this is gorgeous!!” A third fan replied: “So fab.” Another response read: “Love it!!!” A different commenter added: “Fav shop for bags.”

Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like the bag is available on TK Maxx’s website. Shoppers can check their nearest store here. However, TK Maxx’s website does offer a selection of Silviano bags, including a Deep Blue Leather Weave Tote Bag for £69.99 with a RRP of £350 and a Black Weave Shopper Bag for £49.99 with a RRP of £235.

There’s also a Black Weave Shopper Bag for £69.99 with a RRP of £350. While the bags differ in style, they could be just as impressive to shoppers looking for a luxury bag for less.

Prosecutors have laid bare their evidence against two men told yesterday they would be put on trial over tragic musician Liam Payne’s Buenos Aires hotel death.

Waiter Braian Nahuel Paiz and former hotel worker Ezequiel David Pereyra have been languishing in prison since the start of January after being charged with selling the former One Direction singer the cocaine he snorted and smoked before his fatal third-storey drug-fuelled balcony plunge.

Argentinian public prosecutors were known to have obtained incriminating phone messages and hotel CCTV footage which included images of Liam standing by the open door of a lift at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel and chatting with a man identified as Pereyra shortly before the singer died on October 16 last year.

During the brief encounter the 31-year-old Brit is said to have asked him for “seven grams of the same drug he had handed him earlier.”

Overnight prosecutors went public with more details of their dossiers, revealing they had “incriminating” witness statements from FIVE hotel employees against 24-year-old Pereyra, who like Paiz has been warned he faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted, and CCTV footage showing him handing Payne cocaine outside the artist’s room around an hour and ten minutes before he died.

Pereyra has been accused of selling Liam cocaine twice, the second time “between 3.30 and 4pm on October 16.”
Argentina’s public prosecution service said in a statement referencing Pereyra: “One of the witnesses that compromised him the most was the hotel’s head of general maintenance.

“He testified that around 9pm on 14 October he met Pereyra in a lift, saw that he had a $100 note in his hand and when he asked him if it was a tip and who had given it to him, said Pereyra replied that he had to ‘run an errand for a guest’ which he later explained was ‘to bring drugs’.

“At 2:30 a.m. on 15 October, Payne asked the hotel receptionist for a taxi to an address – Pereyra’s home at 2800 Homero Street in the Lomas de Zamora district of Buenos Aires – because ‘someone had to bring him something’.
“Prosecutors determined, from the statement of the driver of the Cabify app car that made the trip, and from the images of the security cameras outside the hotel, that Pereyra arrived at the door of the hotel at 3.25am, met Liam Payne in the street outside and walked with towards the corner of Costa Rica and Dorrego Avenue, where a camera captured the accused man with ‘some kind of wrapper in one of his hands.’”

Lead prosecutor Andres Madrea revealed a computer technician who works for the CasaSur Hotel has also incriminated Pereyra. He said: “The employee, who speaks English, shared a lift with Payne the afternoon of his death. He has testified that when they reached a hotel basement Liam began to talk while still inside the lift with Pereyra, who was arranging some chairs outside the lift, and he heard the musician say: ‘Hey man I will need another seven grams more for today.’”

Public prosecutors added in their statement: “Mr Madrea detailed in his trial request that the drug transaction took place around 3.45pm on October 16, in a third-floor corridor where cameras captured Pereyra’s arrival in the lift and the exchange.”

They said the indictment against Paiz, also accused of selling Liam Payne cocaine on two separate occasions in the run-up to his death, was based partly on messages the two men had exchanged discovered on the singer’s phone after he plunged to his death.

Prosecutors revealed more detail about the conversations between the pair, who met at a restaurant the musician dined at in the upmarket Buenos Aires neighbourhood where Paiz was working as a waiter.
They said: “Lead prosecutor Andres Madrea reproduced in his trial request an exchange of messages in the early hours of October 14, where the singer asks the accused for five or five grams and the waiter replies an hour later that he had obtained three grams with the phrase in English: ‘I think I got to three.

“Paiz then sent the musician several photographs related to narcotics, including one of a transparent plastic bag with a white powder, after which they agreed that the waiter would go to the CasaSur Hotel where the accused arrived at 3:24am according to the security camera records.

“This shows that the accused Paiz, at Payne’s request, went to the hotel in question, stayed in his room, where he gave cocaine to Payne, until he left at around 8:15 am.”

They went on to detail the second “drug deal” later the same day when Liam Payne took a taxi to Paiz’s flat to pick up cocaine – and reference another subsequent message exchange about a third “possible deal” which they said ended with the singer writing: “I have DOLLARS US 100. Party.”

Three other men initially charged over Liam’s death were told in February the case against them had been dropped.

Liam’s close friend Rogelio Nores, hotel receptionist Esteban Grassi and hotel head of security Gilda Martin were accused of his manslaughter by a female lower court judge before reversing her decision on appeal.
No date has yet been set for the Paiz and Pereyra trial although it is expected to kick off shortly.

Paiz, who has previously protested his innocence, spoke again from prison this week to repeat an earlier claim that he had shared drugs with the artist but hadn’t committed the serious offence of selling him narcotics.
The 25-year-old whined in an interview with Argentinian media outlet Infobae from his jail cell at a Buenos Aires police station: “I don’t know what I’m doing here, I’m a good person.
“I shared drugs with Liam but I didn’t sell them.”

Describing himself as a drug user who started smoking marihuana as a youngster, he added: “All I want to do is start studying again and leave jail to work, like I was doing before.
“I regret now giving Liam my Instagram because it all spiralled from there.

“If I hadn’t I’d probably be working today, I’d be studying, I’d be doing videos because before meeting Liam I’d participated in the filming of a video-clip for YouTube for a singer and other videos for TV.
“I miss the freedom I had, I miss work, I miss my family, my mum and my sisters.”

Pereyra handed himself in on January 6 after making himself a fugitive the previous week following failed police attempts to locate and arrest him so he could be remanded in pre-trial custody on the orders of an investigating judge. He has yet to make any public comment.
