WITH THE DOCUMENTARY OF BOYZONE: NO MATTER WHAT SET TO RELEASE, THE SINGER REVEALED WHEN HE BROKE HIS NO CONTACT WITH HIS FORMER BANDMATE AFTER FALLOUT. 15:50, 01 Feb 2025 Boyzone member
Shane Lynch as shared for the first time about how he broke five years of no contact with his former bandmate, Mikey Graham, after a harsh falling out after the band's last performance.
This fight came to a head after tensions rose in the band in their last years together. Despite years of radio silence, Shane, 48, has revealed that he decided to contact his old friend
Mikey, 52, to express his thanks for being a part of the documentary - Boyzone: No Matter What. He recalled that after seeing the starting of the show come together, he couldn't help
but reach out an olive branch. Speaking on Lorraine, Shane said: "Believe it or not, I hadn't spoken to Mikey for quite a few years and then when I saw the documentary - the first
draft of it - I couldn't help myself but to call him. I just told him that he did amazingly and to be honest, he made the documentary for me. "I was delighted for him to tell his
story and for all the honesty from him it was just incredible and impeccable. It was a very difficult thing for him to do - to actually come and join us on the documentary because we were
very unsure if that was going to happen." He added: "To have the completion of all of us was fabulous and he did an amazing job. I'm very proud of him actually," reports
the Mirror. Despite being a part of the Sky show, Mikey did not attend the premiere in London with his three other members on Monday, January 27. Article continues below Ronan Keating, Keith
Duffy and Shane Lynch all stepped as a group onto the red carpet earlier this week at London's Camden Town The Roundhouse for their three-part documentary called Boyzone: No Matter
What. Many fans of the band were left upset with Mikey's lack of appearance at the event. The show is set to release on Sky on February, 2, and has been described as a "harrowing,
emotional" trip down memory lane. It includes never-before-seen footage of manager Louis Walsh speaking about how he managed to create one of the biggest boybands in the world. It also
shows how tensions surrounding the band began to rise and how Louis' toxic ways became known. The tragic death of band member Stephen Gately is also addressed and how his passing was a
massive and lasting blow to the group. Mikey did not appear at the premier as he has previously spoken about how he prefers to live a "quiet life" in rural Ireland. The documentary
goes into how Mikey has not spoken to the rest of the band in the past five years since the bitter fight. In the show, Mikey has also insisted that if he was given the chance to go back to
Boyzone or reunite with his members, he wouldn't wish to ever go back. Mikey, who speaks more about his departure from the group and rollercoaster of fame in the Sky series, also
revealed that tensions within the band began to flare up after the passing of Stephen, as Ronan and Mikey were becoming increasingly annoyed by the party lifestyle Shane and Keith had gotten
into. The tension reached boiling point and exploded at the boys' final tour which was filled with regular arguments - the worst of which is said to have been between Mikey and Keith
in their dressing room. However, the details of this fight will not be revealed in the docuseries, but Mikey did describe the time as a "toxic environment". Ultimately, Mikey has
said that he doesn't want to "waste my future looking back at the past". He added: "I haven't seen anybody since that night [last show]. I wish them all the best, no
grudges, no animosity, nothing, however I don't want to go back to how I felt for many years. "To see them, if it were for too long, would remind me of that and my future is far
too important for me to waste it looking back at my past." _*Boyzone: No Matter What comes to Sky Documentaries and NOW on Sunday, February 2._ JOIN THE DAILY RECORD WHATSAPP COMMUNITY!
