From the BBC’s Boyband Forever documentary last year to Robbie Williams’ divisive biopic Better Man (he is played by a CGI monkey, naturally), there’s been a growing sense of nostalgia for Nineties boyband culture.
Now, a new show detailing the rise to fame of Irish group Boyzone has been announced. Set to air on Sky Documentaries, the three-part series delves behind the scenes of one of the biggest boybands of the era.
In the trailer, members of the band – Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy, Shane Lynch and Mikey Graham – open up about about the highs and lows of fame, with their former manager Louis Walsh (now estranged from the band) giving his perspective on their time in the spotlight.
The documentary will also explore how late singer Stephen Gately was forced to come out as gay after a crew member threatened to sell details of his sexuality to the media, while also touching on his death in 2009 at the age of 33.
Formed in 1993 by talent manager Walsh after auditioning more than 300 men across Ireland, the band shot to fame after the release of their debut single in 1994, a cover of the Four Seasons’ Working My Way Back To You. Boyzone split in 2000 but reformed in 2007, with the documentary revealing the truth behind their initial split.
From its release date to how to watch, here’s everything you need to know about Boyzone: No Matter What.
