Ronan Keating and surviving boyband members reflect on pop stardom, manipulation and tragedy.
Two part documentary special Boyzone: Life, Death And Boybands will screen on Seven in early August.
Five working-class lads from Dublin are plucked from obscurity and given the chance of a lifetime: to form one of the world’s most successful and iconic boybands. After a rocky start, their popularity grows and they’re soon travelling the world in pursuit of fame and fortune. But behind-the-scenes, bitter rifts threaten to divide the band as personal insecurities are exploited. Manager Louis Walsh sets about ruthlessly manipulating the press, as a secret about one of the members’ sexuality surfaces, with devastating ramifications.
7:30pm Tuesday August 5 on Seven. Part 2 is TBA (probably a week later).
