@rivermonster many thanks for the dailymotion link to the show!

Just finished watching. Is it voyeuristic how much I always eat up a good 90s pop music expose documentary?

Anyway Boyzone's peak was slightly prior to my big pop years - I still knew their names though, and I do remember them doing that comic relief song, and picture of you is a massive banger still! So I didn't have much nostalgia for them, but I thought all the members came across well in the show. You can tell their love for each other is really genuine and long lasting, especially after losing Stephen. I remember his death and how sad it was - I forgot he was only 33 which is so young now I'm nearly at that age myself.

Maybe the reunion after his death was a bad idea but they weren't to know that beforehand. I'm glad they can get on with each other now - that's the important thing rather than touring and making music. Such a shame Mikey didn't join in with their meeting though, I felt like it would have helped him, after how he was in the show.

Having no strong feelings on Boyzone, I also never gave a hoot for Westlife - I thought they were well boring even as an 8 year old!

Oh I forgot about When The Going Gets Tough when I was thinking of favourite songs.

Ronan is a fool but I do respect the love he had for Stephen, same as rest of the band especially when they spent the night in Church with his body :(

I nearly saw Stephen live as City in the Park Nottingham he was originally the sub headliner but something happened & we got Ronan instead.
Who actually was alright was a big allday concert on hottest day of the year

Tbh I don’t know why Ronan’s moaning about his ‘failed solo career’ after the commercial first two solo albums I actually think they’re some of his best work the ones that came after without cover after cover and only so many times you can hear feckin Rollercoaster and Lovin each day lol

Louie is a complete know. Sounds like it was him who leaked the story about Stephen to the press.

Mikey came across as a spolit child.

Ronan think he is guilty about not getting back with the band earlier.

Louie is a know.

Why was the jurno telling his story from his car?

Final reunion seemed quite sad.

BUT think this is the fore runner to a new tour!!!

The journo in the car made me laugh just sitting in an empty car park 🤣

Ah the bit about the funeral got me, sitting with his coffin all night so he wasn't alone 😔

Definitely think Ronan was the more driven one and took what he could get, but does seem like there was genuinely a friendship between them all at one point.

Keith has aged rather well 🤭😍

Shane said on Lorraine he hadn’t spoken to Mikey for years but he gave him a call after the documentary

I hope the others did too

I always hated that journalist Paul Martin. "Mr Showbiz" 99% of his column in the Sunday World were about Westlife or a member of Boyzone. Clearly his only source in the industry was Louis Walsh.

I can’t find it on daily motion, it’s being very glitchy for me!
 
Such a shame, I’d hoped for perfect Friday night viewing!
Looks like Daily Motion have taken it down as I saved it to my Pocket a/c and was also going to watch it tonight and it has disappeared from there.

Edit - just been on DM and all Boyzone clips that were there now say - this content is no longer available.
