Shane Lynch declares 'love' for Boyzone manager Louis Walsh despite troubled past

Shane Lynch has insisted he still loves Boyzone manager Louis Walsh despite bitterly clashing with him. The 48-year-old singer is a member of the iconic Welsh pop group along with Keith Duffy, 50, Michael Graham, 52, and lead singer Ronan Keating, 47. The band also included late singer Stephen Gately, who tragically passed away due to a heart condition at the age of 33 in 2009.
Boyzone, who formed in 1993, have been propelled back into the public consciousness thanks to a new documentary titled Watch Boyzone: No Matter What on Sky Documentaries. The special is due to air next Sunday, 2 February, and will show the band sharing their thoughts and memories during their time in the charts and beyond.
The group were famously managed by X Factor judge Louis Walsh, 72 - and it seems they had a relationship that was as fractured as all the other acts the Irish music expert worked with over the years. But Shane has defended the old manager - while also reflecting on the difficulties of working with him.
In the documentary, Shane says: "Louis is an uneasy character, he always has been. He's socially awkward but his one-liners are what save him. They're what gave him his career. "He said some stuff about all of us in the past that we weren't happy with but it's just him. You can't get annoyed with him." Louis has criticised the boys for allowing their "egos" to grow at the same impressive rate as their fame during their chart-topping heyday.
