London - Boyzone are reuniting for their
first UK tour in seven years, Ronan Keating announced on
Wednesday.
Keating, who left the Irish boy band to pursue a solo
career, said he and the other four members of the group decided
to tour after rehearsing together for a one-off charity
performance to be broadcast on Friday.
"We've been talking about getting back together for some
time now," Keating said on his website www.ronankeating.com.
"The Children in Need rehearsals just made us want to tour
together again. I can't wait to be back on the road and all the
guys feel the same."
Formed in the early 1990's
The tour will kick off in May at London's O2 Arena and end
in June in Glasgow.
Boyzone, featuring Keating, Stephen Gately, Shane Lynch,
Mikey Graham and Keith Duffy, was formed in the early 1990s.
The group behind hits including Words and A Different
Beat are the latest 1990s act to get back together.
Take That have already been on a successful tour, despite
performing without former member Robbie Williams, while the
Spice Girls return to the stage in December.
