Fan reaction Fans took to the post to share their relief that the Irishman was okay following the incident. Kay McRitchie wrote, “Oh Nicky, what are you like?! Glad to hear you are doing ok and no serious injuries were caused. Only on the second night of the tour boy, please look after yourself.” Nusserskat said, “So kind of you to let us know because we were very worried about you. On the video shared on Twitter, it looked like you had a nasty fall so me and probably also the rest of the fans are happy that you’re fine apart from some bruises.”

Leahhmariee93 commented, “You are a silly sausage. So so glad you’re ok and not badly hurt though!! Sending love.” Westlife put on a stellar performance at The OVO Hydro in Glasgow over the weekend, as they continue to tour their latest album Wild Dreams. The foursome looked the part as they all wore matching monochrome abstract shirts, trousers or blazers. The boyband couldn’t contain their smiles as they performed their greatest hits for the sold-out arena. Westlife kicked off their UK and Ireland tour in Aberdeen on Thursday before entertaining the Glasgow crowd over the weekend. The band next perform in Leeds tomorrow night.
