When Westlife performed in Kaohsiung earlier this year, Feehily, the group's lead singer paid a visit to a local hair salon, causing a sensation among fans, reported Liberty Times. This time in Taipei, Feehily went straight to a foot massage parlor as soon as he checked into a hotel.
During the band's show on Tuesday night, it started off with a performance of "Starlight," a single from its latest album "Wild Dreams." Amid screams from enthusiastic fans, Feehily said, "Taipei it’s so good to be back here - so many amazing memories from over the years!"
