Why did Bryan McFadden leave Westlife?
Back in Westlife,he spellt it Bryan and now as a solo artist, he’s gone back to the original Brian. As for why he left, I guess he thought he had to work on his marriage, the official reason was to be with his family more – not that it helped as he and Kerry split later the same year. There’s also whispers it’s because he got offered a solo deal (he did record a solo album that same year too) or because he got sick of management telling him and the lads their own songs weren’t good enough when us fans know they are, but I guess we’ll never really know.
