Westlife Forced To Scrap New Video
News of the World reports boy band Westlife has been forced to scrap their new video for the single Queen Of My Heart. As we reported earlier, the group had been shooting the video in New York when the terrorist attacks hit the city on September 11.
The video featured violent explosions and showers of debris as the band takes part in a stock car race.
Band member Kian told Rav, “There is no way we could show that video now, in light of what happened in America. So we decided to scrap it and have now gone back to the drawing board to try to think of another idea. We hope to start shooting the new video next week.”
The group is still wanting to crack the U.S. market after selling 7 million copies of their last album, but few in America.
