My Take
Mark Feehily, to me, is the part of Westlife that's easy to underrate from the outside. As one of the group's lead voices he helped power twelve albums, thirteen world tours and fifteen number ones, the sort of statistics that make a band one of the most successful in history. But what I find genuinely significant is his place as the highest-charting LGBT singer on the UK Singles Chart, achieved at a time when boy-band image-management didn't exactly invite honesty. I admire that he kept the music and the openness in balance. That blend of commercial scale and personal candour gives his career real staying power.
