Westlife star Nicky Byrne has 'respect and admiration' for Simon Cowell

Westlife star Nicky Byrne has 'respect and admiration' for Simon Cowell after lastly claiming the music mogul was too busy to manage the Irish band properly.

After 13 years Westlife's split from Cowell's Syco label previous month, singer Nicky had spoken about the group's relationship alongside the X Factor boss.

He said the band's management under Cowell 'unloved' thought.

Nicky wrote: 'For the record. I have nothing but respect and admiration for Simon Cowell. He was an excellent A&R man for us and delivered us unprecedented success globally with Westlife.

'By me saying we felt unloved was a comment made on why we made our decision to leave Syco as a company.'

He then went with him where he is today 51 years old to help thanks.

The singer said: 'After a 13 year stint, it was the right time to begin something new with fresh faces and ideas. All sides felt the same and and no bad feelings were felt anywhere. We still are hugely thankful to Syco records and Simon Cowell as without them we wouldn't be where we are today.

'But 13 years is a long time in music and we all felt a change was needed! Hope that clears things up. Happy Easter!!'
