Can Ronan lead a successful Boyzone return?

Following the success of Take That's comeback tour, Irish boy band Boyzone has signed up for a reunion tour next year.

Despite his successful solo career, Ronan Keating, has agreed to team up with his former band mates which means the group can go one better than Take That who were forced to go on tour without Robbie Williams.

An insider said: “It's a massive coup to get all five members signed up, Ronan has been the one that's bee reluctant to agree all along.

He has a very successful solo career, but thankfully he's finally realised the success the band could have again and he's given in to the fans.”

It was Keating's decision to leave the band in 1999 that led to its demise and since then the former band members Stephen Gately, Mikey Graham, Keith Duffy and Shane Lynch have struggled to regain their previous levels of success.

The band is planning to do a tour featuring their greatest hits. “After the tour Boyzone will judge the reaction and decide if they want to keep going together and release an album of new stuff,” said the source.
