Boyzone will tour again...

Boyzone will tour again at the end of next year to prove to fans that they haven't split up. Keith Duffy has told the Mirror that all five members of the group want to get back together and perform next November and December. The concerts will be staged at major arenas around the UK and Ireland including The Point Theatre and Odyssey Arena in Belfast.

"We have not split up and these live concerts are going to prove it to the fans once and for all," Keith said. "We will be performing in big arenas around the UK and Ireland - there will be around ten concerts, maybe more. "I spoke to Ronan Keating last night and he is enthusiastic about it and so is everyone else. "There's been a lot of rubbish about us splitting up but we're still together. "We will probably make the official announcement about the show on a special day like Valentines or St.Patricks. "It will be a big day for us - the day when we tell the world that we are still together."

There have been strong rumours that Boyzone are about to call it a day since Ronan Keating's success in the solo pop world. Former manager Louis Walsh fuelled speculation when he appeared on the Kelly Show and announced that the group was over and he was no longer managing them.

Keith revealed that he has felt down and sorry for himself since Boyzone went their separate ways in January. "I've felt a bit sorry for myself to be honest, but I always pick myself up again. "I made a mistake and took Boyzone for granted. As soon as it was all over I started missing it. "There have been really hard times like when Ronan's been up performing at big awards ceremonies. "It makes you really miss the buzz of being right at the centre of the pop world. "There is nothing that can replace the amazing buzz of being on stage and touring in a big pop band. "I have really missed it, far more than I though I ever would."

The group will meet in a London hotel next week - the first time they have all been together in 11 months. "We were going to have a meeting in Dublin but now we've changed it to London so we can have more privacy," he said. "This is the first time we have all been in a room together since the start of the year. "So we're aware that there would be a big media frenzy around it back home. "We are going to have something to eat and have a few drinks and make some plans. "Everyone wants to talk about the tour so we've set the date to get things organised."

Keith and Boyzone mate Shane Lynch released their spoof duet, Girl You Know It's True. The pair launch a cynical attack on the pop business in the song: "We are not really worried about how well it will do in the charts," said Keith. "We just recorded it for a bit of fun and because we were missing the music business. "Some people have taken it all a bit too seriously but we're just having a laugh."

He denied that Shane's bizarre confession that he was in touch with the other side was a publicity stunt to launch their song. "He has always been in touch with the other side since the early days of Boyzone, Some people may laugh but it's true. "He's not a devil worshipper or anything crazy like that, it all got blown out of proportion. "He is fascinated with The Sixth Sense movie - he can really identify with it."
