Three of the four living members of Boyzone have reunited for the first time in almost a decade. As documentary Boyzone: No Matter What comes to Sky, Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy, and Shane Lynch have stepped out as a group once again as their "harrowing, emotional" trip down memory lane premieres in London this evening. Mikey Graham was seemingly absent from the red carpet love-in.
When Boyzone was born in 1993, five Dublin boys were swept away from their normal lives and entered into global stardom. With their catchy brand of pop music, the boyband amassed swarms of fans across the globe and sold 25 million records worldwide under the wing of manager Louis Walsh.
In 2018, they celebrated their 25th anniversary with a tour and an album - nine years on from bandmate Stephen Gately's passing - but announced their final split after playing their final Irish show in Dublin that year. Tonight's red carpet reunion marks their first public appearance together in almost seven years.
As we now understand all too well, however, that degree of fame comes at a price. For the first time in 30 years, the four surviving Boyzone band members – Ronan Keating , Keith Duffy, Shane Lynch, and Mikey Graham – are opening up about their personal journeys in three-part documentary series Boyzone: No Matter What.
With never-before-seen archive footage, emotional interviews, and even reflections from those close to the late Stephen Gately, who died in 2009, the series tells the honest tale of one of the most-loved Irish boy bands. Speaking about the documentary, Ronan admitted earlier this week: "It has been harrowing at times. Very emotional. And fun, too.
