Westlife have been forced to postpone their gig at Cardiff's CIA tonight (May 20).

The group will return to gigging at Birmingham's NEC on May 22 and Manchester's MEN Arena on May 23.

Westlife were also forced to postpone a gig at Nottingham Arena yesterday (May 19).

Rescheduled dates for the two gigs are due to be announced soon.
