Boyzone: No Matter What – A Documentary Premiere
Ronan, Shane, Keith, and the Legacy of Boyzone
After three decades of silence, Boyzone’s surviving members – Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy, Shane Lynch, and Mikey Graham – are breaking their silence in a deeply personal, three-part documentary series. Titled ‘Boyzone: No Matter What,’ the documentary sees the group reflecting on their extraordinary journey, from their meteoric rise to fame to the heart-wrenching loss of bandmate Stephen Gately.
The Irish premiere of the documentary was a star-studded affair at Dublin’s Stella Cinema, with Ronan Keating and family kicking off the red carpet arrivals. Shane Lynch followed, with Keith Duffy completing the trio – Mikey Graham was notably absent. The invite-only screening drew an A-list crowd, including Pat Kenny, Matt Cooper, Glenda Gilson, and Lorraine Keane.
‘Boyzone: No Matter What’ delves into the highs and lows of the group’s career, using never-before-seen archive footage and emotional interviews. It covers their stratospheric success – including four No.1 hits in the UK charts – as well as their split and the tragic loss of Stephen Gately. Gately’s treatment by the media, particularly the pressure to come out as gay, is explored in depth.
The band’s relationship with Louis Walsh, who discovered and managed them, is also explored. Walsh, who has said he wishes they had a better relationship, appears in the documentary but was absent from the Irish premiere.
The documentary chronicles Boyzone’s first appearance on ‘The Late Late Show’ and their phenomenal success, selling over 20 million records worldwide. However, it also details the growing tensions that led to the band’s demise. Despite reuniting for the documentary, Ronan Keating has poured cold water on the idea of future concerts, telling RTÉ Radio 1, "I think enough is enough. I think we’re done."
‘Boyzone: No Matter What’ is set to premiere on Sky Documentaries and NOW on February 2nd.
‘Boyzone: No Matter What’ promises a raw and honest look at one of Ireland’s most beloved boy bands, exploring their incredible journey, the complexities of fame, and the enduring impact of Stephen Gately’s loss.
