Biography

Boyzone are an Irish boy band who had popular mainstream success during the 1990s. They were most successful in the Republic of Ireland, Australia, Asia and the UK and they also had differing levels of success in parts of Central Europe. The band have released six #1 UK hit singles and four #1 albums, with sales approaching 20 million records as of 2008. They made a comeback in 2007, originally with the intention of just touring but Ronan Keating confirmed in an interview that they wanted to "outdo Take That" in terms of a successful reunion.

Boyzone was put together in 1993 by Louis Walsh who is also known for managing Johnny Logan and Westlife. Before even recording any material they made a now infamous appearance on RTÉ's The Late Late Show. Their first album Said and Done was released in 1995 and the following two studio albums in 1996 and 1998. Seven compilation albums have been released, the latest being B-Sides & Rarities in October 2008.
