Netflix has announced the premiere of an exclusive documentary following the remarkable journey of Westlife, one of the most legendary music groups of all time. The film, titled Westlife: Flying Without Wings, will be released in the summer of 2024, providing fans with an inside look at the band’s climb to global success and long impact in pop.
The documentary offers an in-depth look at Westlife’s incredible history, from their inception in Ireland in 1998 to becoming chart-topping legends with songs like “Swear It Again,” “If I Let You Go,” and “You Raise Me Up.” Viewers will be given unprecedented access to behind-the-scenes moments, rare archival material, and candid interviews with band members Shane Filan, Mark Feehily, Kian Egan, and Nicky Byrne.

“This documentary isn’t just about music; it’s about friendship, resilience, and the impact of a band that defined a generation,” Collins said in an interview. Westlife acknowledged their enthusiasm for the initiative, saying, “We’re excited to share our story with the world.” This short celebrates everything we’ve accomplished as a band and with our amazing fans over the years.”
