Photo: Former Westlife singer, Mark Feehily now sells tea from a van

Westlife is my 2nd all time favorite boy-band after Boys 2 Men, and Mark Feehily was my favorite singer in the group. He came out later after the group disbanded to say he was gay. Broke my heart. Anyway, to the story, Mark is now selling snacks &coffee from a catering van. That's him in the van.

The 34 year old has set up his own catering business. He travels round festivals with his van and he serves customers food and drinks himself from the back of his truck. When asked about it, Mark said
"It's going really well, we've got loads of interest and we've booked it in with a lot of the music festivals and we're talking about doing some Irish ones as well. People were flabbergasted at the fact that I was in the van making crepes. People kind of have this thing 'Oh, he was in Westlife a few years ago and now he's making tea. It's my business and I love it, anything I get involved in I get involved 110%."
Mark says he hasn't given up on music yet though and is planning to launch a solo career. Westlife disbanded in 2011 after 14 years together. During their career, they notched 26 top 10 hits.

    Life throws us some straight balls and at times curved ones.when the curved ones hit us we have to learn to take them ,double over ,roll around in gut wrenching pain but we have to know its time to get up and start again.

    He's a success already for having the strength to go again.

  35. Mark was my favorite in Westlife band. I never knew he was gay. The fact that his now selling coffee shows that his a gentle.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Mark was my favourite in the band, had the best voice of them all though he wasn't the lead singer. If the boy wants to serve tea himself, let him, he seems happy doing it and that's what matters.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Ohhhh! My love! I so love his voice. Well wish him all the best!

  63. Mark is still worth about 8 million pounds so it's not about not having money for him. He was a pizza delivery boy before he joined West life so I'm thinking maybe this is something he's passionate about!

    ReplyDelete
  78. So far he loves his job. He can also be passionate about his music career or both.

    ReplyDelete
  79. But the band should have made a lot of money na... how come he's selling from a van instead opening a restaurant or something bigger ... well not like I know the whole story but one thing am sure of is that this boy band made lot of money during their time

    ReplyDelete

  83. Naija man can nevery do this...

    Kudos Mark, whatever makes you happy buh ur gay story kinda turned me off. You life your choice....I got no say.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Dts bravery. ..
    Dts acceptance of situation and not giving a cent about wat people would say....
    Dats making a living. ..
    U see i hav come to understand that most times., we r d major limiting factor to our own success.
    ..beclouded wit d notion of dose rhetoric questions of ."wetin people go talk now...say ..a whole me now dey sell coffe....
    Dts rubish. ....
    A typical case of TLC's open solicitation of find which have eventually paid off would further buttress my point afterall. .
    Lets jettison fear of wat they would say and click unto wat our inner peace would rather say..
    Kudos to u bruv...
