Boyzone star Shane Lynch has disappointed millions of the boyband's fans by admitting the band will "never" reunite in a new interview - however, there is one particular caveat to that bold statement. Appearing on Friday morning's episode of Lorraine, hosted by Ranvir Singh, Shane chatted about the new Boyzone documentary No Matter What that is launching on Sky Documentaries on Sunday 2 February and revealed he and surviving bandmates Keith Duffy, Ronan Keating and Mikey Graham will "never be a band again".

Ranvir asked if Boyzone would ever make music again, and Shane replied: "I say this with the greatest respect, we will always be a band called Boyzone but we will never be a band again. I don't think we will ever make music again.". He did give fans some hope of a reunion of some sort, however. He said: "We've been there and done it, but to share a stage together I think we would all be more than up for it, because that's a little night of fun, a night on the town for everyone else, including us and that would be a beautiful thing whether it happens or not.".

Shane also spoke about his relationship with the other band members, and how making the documentary led to him getting in touch with Mikey Graham for the first time in years. "I haven't spoken to Mikey for quite a few years and then when I saw the first draft of the documentary, I couldn't help myself so I called him," he said. "He was amazing in it, he made the documentary for me," he continued. "I was delighted for him to tell his story and that honesty from him was incredible and just a difficult thing for him to do, to come and join us in the documentary. We were very unsure that was going to happen, so to have the completion of all of us was fabulous and he did an amazing job. I'm very proud of him.".

The new three part documentary delves into the boyband's golden years and features archival interviews with all the band members including Stephen Gately, who died in 2009, and new interviews with Shane, Mikey, Ronan, Keith and their former manager Louis Walsh. Louis assembled Boyzone in 1993 to rival Take That and become one of the biggest acts in Ireland, the UK and across the world. During their heyday, the Irish boyband enjoyed enormous success in the UK, bagging 21 top 40 singles and 22 hits in the Irish charts, including six UK No. 1 singles and nine in Ireland.

However, the Sky documentary reveals how Louis Walsh managed the band and how his contentious methods impacted the band members. Louis Walsh confessed in the Sky documentary that he used to feed stories to the press to keep Boyzone in the limelight and boost record sales. This included a false tale about a plane crash, which was actually just a minor mechanical issue. Like this story?
