Boyzone to return to Singapore

SINGAPORE – The boys are back!

Irish boyband Boyzone will be back in Singapore for their BOYZONE BZ20 The Anniversary Tour, some two decades after they first visited our shores. On that trip, Ronan Keating, Shane Lynch, Michael Graham and Keith Duffy were mere saplings on the cusp of international stardom. Now, they have experienced everything the rollercoaster ride of show business has to offer including a clutchful of hits such as Picture Of You, Words, Baby Can I Hold You, No Matter What and Light Up The Night. The band will start their tour in Asia before returning to the United Kingdom in the summer.

“The fans wanted to be entertained and feel nostalgic and maybe feel 10 or 15 years younger again for two hours and we could do that, no problem,” said Duffy. “We went out to enjoy every minute.”

“We were shocked by the reaction from people,” Keating added about the concerts they’d done previously. “Every night felt like the first night – it made the hairs stand up on the back of your neck. We just couldn’t believe the fans, and I think people were shocked at how good we were too. We were eight years older but we were fitter and more passionate about it and I think we all sounded better than ever too.”

BOYZONE BZ20 The Anniversary Tour will be held at 8pm, Saturday, May 23 at The MasterCard Theatres at Marina Bay Sands. Tickets from S$98 to S$218 available at www.MarinaBaySands.com/Ticketing or www.sistic.com.sg from April 21.
