Boyzone Announce Tour Dates

Reformed pop group Boyzone have announced a UK tour.

Ronan Keating, Stephen Gately, Shane Lynch, Mikey Graham and Keith Duffy will kick-off their tour next year.

The Irish band, who split seven years ago, have reunited to play at BBC Children In Need on Friday.

Frontman Ronan said: "We've been talking about getting back together for some time now."

"The Children in Need rehearsals just made us want to tour together again."

"I can't wait to be back on the road and all the guys feel the same. Our live shows were always great fun but this time it will definitely be the best night out ever."

The launch date at London's 02 Arena on May 30 will be the band's first concert for eight years.
