Pop sensations Westlife have revealed they may have to set up a special helpline for their manager Louis Walsh - because he's more upset than anyone about their split.
Band member Nicky Byrne has revealed that the Mayo man is "devastated" by their plans to break up next year.
Byrne said: "We're worried we'll have to set up a helpline for Louis because he wasn't happy about it all."
He added: "He is devastated - genuinely. We met with him a few different times and he said 'You're your own guys but I don't think you should break up but it's not my decision.'"
Nicky further explained that Louis is still refusing to accept that the band will go their separate ways in 2012 after 14 years together.
Speaking to The Irish Daily Star newspaper he said: "We did a show the other night, a show to be aired at Christmas, billed as our last TV show and I said to Louis, 'So how are you feeling?' he said 'I don't want to talk about it'."
The Flying Without Wings singer added: "So he's not there yet, but he understands."
