Get ready for a nostalgic and emotional journey as Sky unveils its first glimpse at a three-part documentary series about one of the most iconic boybands ever.
Boyzone: No Matter What is set to grace our screens on Sunday, February 2, promising to be an enlightening and heart-tugging ride for any fan of 90s pop.
Featuring exclusive interviews and tantalising backstage footage, the documentary pledges to reveal the true story of the band, over three decades since their formation.
The official blurb for the documentary states: “They were one of the most successful and iconic boybands of all time but behind-the-scenes, conflict and rivalry, betrayal and tragedy led to their falling apart.
“Now, thirty years on, all four remaining members – Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy, Shane Lynch and Michael ‘Mikey’ Graham, as well as their estranged manager, Louis Walsh reveal the truth of what really happened, the extraordinary highs of their meteoric rise to fame, and the huge costs that being in a boyband had on each of them”, reports the Irish Mirror.
In addition to the four Dublin lads, manager and infamous X Factor judge Walsh will be sharing his perspective on Boyzone’s monumental ascent and descent.
Be prepared with tissues as the miniseries will also delve into the devastating death of Stephen Gately in October 2009.
Following Boyzone’s reunion in 2008, the band had plans for a new album release in 2010, accompanied by a tour.
Tragically, Gately was discovered dead at his Mallorca residence due to an undetected cardiac issue.
Grief engulfed the remaining bandmates and as a result, they pushed forward the release of their fourth studio album, Brother, to March 2010, dedicating it in memory of Gately.
In a touching tribute, the album also included two tracks that Gately had recorded prior to his passing, with one penned by renowned singer-songwriter Mika.
Since those sorrowful days, Boyzone went on to unveil their seventh and ultimate studio album, Thank You and Goodnight, in 2018. A forthcoming documentary promises to reveal what the band has been doing since their heyday and the real reasons behind their initial breakup in 1999.
“I made choices that I’m not proud of,” Keating reveals with openness in the promotional clip. “After 30 years, I think now’s the time to talk about it.”
Boyzone: No Matter What, will be released Sunday, February 2 on Sky Documentaries and NOW.
