A synopsis of the documentary Boyzone: No Matter What reads: ‘They were one of the most successful and iconic boy bands of all time, but behind the scenes, conflict and rivalry, betrayal and tragedy led them to fall apart.

Now, thirty years later, the four remaining members (Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy, Shane Lynch and Michael ‘Mikey’ Graham, as well as their former manager, Louis Walsh) reveal the truth of what really happened, the extraordinary moments of their ” “The meteoric rise to fame and the enormous costs it took for each of them to be in a boy band.”

As the song continued to play, Louis criticized Ronan’s career, saying, “He hasn’t had a hit record since I left.” He fired me.

Louis has taken numerous jabs at Ronan over the years, including previously calling him “talentless and spoiled.”

In an interview with Q Magazine in 2012, he said: “It turned his mind to having nice hotels and chauffeur-driven cars, and he thought he could write songs.”

“If you’re Ronan Keating, who was working in a shoe store when I discovered him, but you end up thinking you’re George Michael, then you have to stop.”

Ronan has responded at times and previously said on Magic FM that he didn’t want to work with someone who didn’t respect him.

He said: ‘(Louis) was very important to me as a mentor and I am grateful for the opportunities he gave me, because I wouldn’t be here without them.

Louis has attacked Ronan on numerous occasions over the years, even calling him “talentless and spoiled” (pictured together in 2002).

“But there’s a lot you can give back and be grateful for, and for that not be appreciated or respected.”

Last year, audio emerged of Ronan calling Louis a “jealous fool” in a foul-mouthed rant.

In the recording, from the height of their feud in 2006, Ronan can be heard fuming at biographer Rob McGibbon because Louis had “really hurt” him.

Saying: ‘I don’t have any respect for Louis because he doesn’t have any for me. He was very jealous of me.

“I had to fire him because he didn’t want to handle me. He’s a very selfish character. It’s stupid, man. He’s an asshole.”

The new documentary will also focus on the period in which the late star Stephen Gately, who died aged 33 in October 2009, publicly came out as gay, and the singer was forced to do so after a publication gave him an ultimatum. .

In the trailer, Louis is seen smiling as he remembers the publicity gained by Stephen’s confession while gleefully noting how the news made it to “the front page.”

While Keith Duffy recalled that it was “absolutely scandalous” how the newspaper had treated the late singer.

Boyzone: No Matter What will air on Sunday 2 February on Sky Documentaries and the NOW streaming service.
