Ronan Keating has predicted that Westlife will reunite at some point in the future.

The 35-year-old, who helped to launch the career of the Irish boyband in the late 90s, told Free Radio’s James Merritt that he believes the ‘Flying Without Wings’ group will find it difficult to completely let go:

"I think Westlife will be back in a couple of years. I think Westlife will decide that they want to come back.I know that's what we wanted."

"It's hard when you've been in that situation to walk away totally. It never goes away. You miss it. So I'll say that the lads will come back after a year or two off."

The 'Life Is A Rollercoaster' singer, currently at No.5 in the UK charts with his ninth studio album, 'Fires,' also confirmed that Boyzone will be teaming up again in 2013:

“We're planning an album for the summer next year and then a tour at the end of the year, that's the plan."
