WESTLIFE singer Mark Feehily has revealed doctors have given him the all-clear to go back on tour with the band after he was struck down pneumonia last year.
The Raise Me Up hitmaker was forced to pull out of touring with the band after he was hospitalised with the sickness.
But Mark has now revealed he has been given the all-clear to go back on stage.
Taking to his Instagram today he shared a video of himself celebrating after he went to the doctor.
He said: “I've got great news, the doctor has said I can get back to normal!! See you soon."
The singer captioned the video saying: "Celebrate good times!
"Hey all, great news… I’ll be FLYING WITHOUT WINGS once more!
"Finally, the doctor has said that I can start getting myself back to normal.
"I was in his waiting room earlier worried he was going to tell me 'no you’re still not right' but he was very happy with how I am doing."
Mark went on to thank a lot of people who helped him through the six weeks of recovery.
He continued saying: "I have so much thanks to give. I won’t lie, although there are lots of people much worse off than me, the past 6 weeks have been very difficult.
"Weirdly the most difficult thing was not being ill (that wasn’t easy either!) it was having no choice but to sit back and watch my own band be on tour without me and miss all of the shared moments of joy and happiness with the other lads onstage and of course the interaction with the audiences and fans.
"@shanefilanofficial @nickybyrneinsta @kianegan you three legends, you lads re-choreographed and re-arranged the entire show with about 1hrs notice that evening in Newcastle when I had to make the horrible phone call to tell you I couldn’t do the show…the way you handled it shows how talented and professional you 3 are!
"You kept the @westlife flag flying for the rest of December and I’m so grateful for that. Love."
Mark then thanked all of his fans, the band's crew and his family who all helped him over the many weeks.
He said: "Thank you to the audiences who helped sing my parts in my absence and thank you to all the fans for the constant messages of support online - it really helped and btw… I missed you guys as much as you missed me,
"Thanks to our AMAZING tour crew and management for dealing with the challenge so well and just nailing it I miss you all and the fun times backstage but I will be seeing you very soon.
"My amazing family and friends who took such good care of me while I was ill.
"(Ok Mark mate you havn’t won an Oscar you just had a bad chest infection…sorry I’m just excited!)
"Anyway I thought I’d do a happy positive daft little video to celebrate after all the doom.
"2023 let’s have ya! (One step at a time!) Love Mx."
Fans were thrilled with the news, with one saying; “Yeayyyy. Cant wait to see you again markyyyy. You’re the reason I want to watch Westlife’s concert."
