‘Not a reunion, no new music’: Ronan Keating sets record straight as Boyzone confirm Emirates Stadium gig

Asked why they had chosen London for their biggest ever gig, Keating replied: “This was the first place we came when we left Dublin in 1994. We recorded our first album here, we did Saturday morning TV here, and we learned our craft here. There was no pop music scene in Ireland at the time — we had to come to the UK to be discovered. For 33 years, London has felt like home, so it’s fitting we say goodbye here.”
