Ireland's chart-topping group, Westlife, have split with Simon Cowell after more than 13 years together.

Westlife - Leave Cowell's label


The quartet parted with Cowell's label, Syco, amid rumours that they are less than happy with the promotion of their most recent album, 'Gravity'.
Westlife's Nicky Byrne confirmed the split with a message posted on Twitter yesterday.
"Truth is, yes, we have moved on from Syco records after a fantastic 13 years. But it is time for a change and it's very exciting," he said.
Simon Cowell signed the band to his label in 1998. According to The Sun newspaper the band have signed a multi-million pound deal with the RCA label which, similar to Syco, is part of the Sony group.
Westlife's Mark Feehily reaffirmed the split. "Gravity is the last album for us to make with Simon Cowell and his label. We love and respect him and thank him for his part in Westlife," he said.
