Boyzone star Mikey Graham has shared his huge weight loss in order to prepare for their reunion.
Graham revealed this as he is set to join Ronan Keating, Shane Lynch and Keith Duffy on stage for the band's last two shows at the Emirates Stadium in the UK on June 5 and 6 later this year. This will mark their first run of shows since their five night residency at the London Palladium in 2019.
For the first time since Boyzone announced their return to the live stage, Mikey spoke to the public, saying that he has been left stunned by the fan's reaction.
"Hi guys. Hope you’re all well. Really looking forward to our shows in June at the emirates stadium. I can’t wait to perform hit after hit for you guys for 2 hours with all original vocals as you originally heard them on the records you bought", Graham said.
He also went on to thank the fans for their support, while admitting that the last few years were difficult for him. His weight loss journey has seen him lose three stone in a bid to feel well ahead of this reunion.
"Thank you for all your kind comments. It’s been a very difficult last few years but that’s life and we all have our problems but I’m climbing back up the ladder of life", Graham stated. "As you know I put on a lot of weight but I’ve lost 3 stone with the help of mounjaro. To look my best for you on stage. I got caught out in that comfort eating situation. But that’s how things go. I’m only human after all. lol".
Last October, Boyzone revealed why Mikey Graham had missed the first set of their reunion shows, as well as a press conference at the London Irish Centre in Camden.
They said: "Mikey apologises for not being here today in person for personal reasons. We'll see him soon, and he will be there on the night".
He added: "We'll see Mikey in 20 minutes, and he will be there on 6 June".
