Oh shit, Boyzone are getting back together. Now come on lads, we’ve had enough reunions now, this is one too many, and one which nobody wants.
Keating will join former band mates Shane Lynch, Mikey Graham, Stephen Gately and Keith Duffy to perform a medley of hits on Children In Need later this month.
He told The Sun newspaper:
“After all the speculation, we are getting back together and we are very excited. We have been talking about it for a while now and decided to go out there on our own and have a go at it.”
Damn, I was hoping and praying this day would never come. I mean Led Zeppelin great, Sex Pistols great, The Verve, Shed Seven, and even The Spice Girls fine, but boyzone… BOYZONE??? It’s the new All Saints!
There is hope for us all though, that the reunion could be just temporary…
“At this stage all we have planned is to perform at Children In Need, and we are thinking about doing a tour. We haven’t got any plans to release a new album but we will see what happens. And we haven’t signed a record deal with anyone. We are just doing this thing on our own.”
“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed being back together with the lads, and even though there was some bad feeling about what has happened in the past, all that’s gone now.”
No Ronan, don’t do a tour, don’t try and write any new material (or record more cover versions for that matter), just do the charity thing, and then go your separate ways again, you know it makes sense.
Boyzone were quite big in their time, selling 15 million albums between 1993 and 2000, but the music industry has moved on and cheesy pop just doesn’t cut it any more. Well, unless it’s High School Musical aimed at pre-pubescent girls.
