10 Shocking Things We Learned From The New Boyzone Documentary
WATERFORD WHISPERS NEWS was privileged to get a sneak binge watch of all episodes of the documentary charting the life and times of Boyzone, titled ‘Boyzone No Matter What’.
Here’s all the shocking revelations from the documentary:
1) Keating, candid throughout the documentary, admits his regret at hiring a team of Chechen assassins when he learned Keith Duffy had decided to form Boyzlife with Brian McFadden.
“I may have overreacted,” Keating admits.
2) Louis Walsh defended the boyband industry of the early 1990s, explaining so-called ‘duty of care’ to band members just wasn’t the industry norm.
“I was trying to milk them dry like a herd of dairy cows,” Walsh said before asking the documentary crew if they wanted to buy the rights to Stephen Gately’s hologram.
3) The band were declared bankrupt while on a tour of Asia after Keith Duffy insisted on charting a private plane to bring him a cup of Barry’s Tea from his mother’s house in Dublin each and every morning.
4) Boyzone were briefly declared a terrorist organisation in Sri Lanka. Far from a misunderstanding, Shane Lynch admitted to signing the band up to the Tamil Tigers.
5) While innovative at the time and years ahead in the fight for a more inclusive society, all four remaining members of the band said hiring a blind stylist was a mistake.
6) Shane Lynch was replaced in the band with a body double by the Satanic, devil-worshipping Davos elite after Lynch began discussing conspiracy theories publicly. Suspicions were raised among band mates when Lynch stayed in key while singing.
7) Rare behind the scenes footage shows Walsh beating Keating in an attempt to rid him of his grating singing style. A trip to the hypnotist only made the ‘shh’ sound more pronounced.
8) Mickey Graham never forgave Keating for leaving a 5.4 Imdb rating review on ‘Fatal Deviation’ which said ‘the lad playing the bad guy is pure shite’.
9) Interestingly, the music is actually much worse than you remember.
10) After a week long bender fueled by booze and drugs in 1996, the lads got lost in a collective psychosis in which they were convinced they were actually in Take That.
“To this day I sometimes think deep down I might be Gary Barlow” a shaken Mickey Graham shared.
