The year is 1998 and Boyzone members Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy, Shane Lynch, Michael “Mikey” Graham and Stephen Gately are on top of the world. Their third studio album Where We Belong has sold over three million copies around the globe with its lead single “No Matter What” topping international charts and making music history. Not only that, but their tour of Ireland has broken all sale records after 35,000 tickets sold out in just four hours.
Now, over 25 million record sales later and to the delight of their legions of fans worldwide, surviving members Keating, Duffy, Lynch and Graham are granting rare and exclusive interview access as they talk about their time in one of music history’s biggest boy bands.
The three-part docuseries dives into the lives and careers of Keating, Duffy, Lynch, Graham and Gately, who started out as five working-class teenagers from Dublin before being chosen by legendary music manager Walsh to form Boyzone. Like many other musicians of the time, the band’s meteoric rise to international stardom came at a price and it’s only decades later that the boys are candidly revealing how they personally grappled with the true cost of fame.
Featuring contributions from Gately’s sister, Michelle, his former partner and pop star Eloy De Jong, and the band’s now estranged manager Louis Walsh, Boyzone: No Matter What examines the dizzying heights, devastating tragedies and other key events that shaped the band both in their heyday and for the rest of their lives, as well as the impact of 1990s boy band mania and the behind-the-scenes secrets of the music industry.
Don’t miss Boyzone: No Matter What airing at 9pm on Sunday 2 February on Sky Documentaries HD (CH 188). In the meantime, throw it back to the 1990s and try out our nostalgic quiz to find out which genre of iconic ’90s music you are...
