Ronan Keating has revealed that Boyzone will "try" to reunite next year.
The singer was speaking about this on the Scott Mills Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 2, having started his career with the band alongside Shane Lynch, Keith Duffy, Mikey Graham and the late Stephen Gately in 1993. Talks of a Boyzone reunion started up again among the surviving members, following the release of the documentary, Boyzone: No Matter What.
"The reaction was unbelievable, so we’ve obviously been talking about our story for the last 30 years, and we felt like that was kind of it, that maybe that was the end of the story", Keating said. "And well, we’ve all been chatting over the last few weeks, and I think 2026 might be a year for Boyzone to maybe try and do something".
When asked about how the band were getting on, Keating added: "They're really great… After the documentary, the reaction was crazy, it was unbelievable, honestly, even people that weren’t fans of Boyzone were contacting me saying, 'I had no idea".
He continued: "British Airways had it on the plane (to England) in the documentary section, and somebody was watching it next to me, and it was really awkward, I had to put a blanket over my head".
Elsewhere, Keating said that there may be another surprise when he takes to the stage at Radio 2 In The Park this weekend.
"I’ve got a lot of surprises at the moment, and I don’t know which one to take out of my pocket, because there’s a few things brewing right now", he said. "There’ll hopefully be one tomorrow on stage, and then there’s going to be maybe one in the next few minutes, I might have one for you, Scott (the potential reunion)".
Having first split up in 2000, Boyzone reunited in 2007, before going on to perform their farewell tour, Thank You And Goodnight between 2018 and 2019.
Back in January, Keating said that he felt that the new Boyzone documentary gets "justice" for his late bandmate and friend Stephen Gately. More on this here.
