Westlife have predicted that newer boybands such as The Wanted, JLS and One Direction won't last as long as they have.

The Irish fourpiece announced last month that they will part ways for good following their 2012 Farewell Tour.

Speaking to the Daily Star, Kian Egan said: "I don't see any of them lasting as long as we have."

Mark Feehily added: "Four or five years max for a boyband is normal. We lasted as we all get along. We're quite freakish like that."

The boys also declared that they will not be making a comeback further down the line, like Take That and Steps.

Shane Filan said: "The tour will be the end of Westlife. We're hoping to do one last extravagant show and it's going to be horrendous when we come off stage, the worst day."

Nicky Byrne concluded "Other bands who have breaks know they might come back. We're saying we're not."

The group bid us farewell with their new single 'Lighthouse' on November 13th and a Greatest Hits on November 21st.
