Three of the four living members of Boyzone have reunited for the first time in almost a decade.

As documentary Boyzone: No Matter What comes to Sky, Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy, and Shane Lynch have stepped out as a group once again as their "harrowing, emotional" trip down memory lane premieres in London this evening. Mikey Graham was seemingly absent from the red carpet love-in.

When Boyzone was born in 1993, five Dublin boys were swept away from their normal lives and entered into global stardom. With their catchy brand of pop music, the boyband amassed swarms of fans across the globe and sold 25 million records worldwide under the wing of manager Louis Walsh.

In 2018, they celebrated their 25th anniversary with a tour and an album - nine years on from bandmate Stephen Gately's passing - but announced their final split after playing their final Irish show in Dublin that year. Tonight's red carpet reunion marks their first public appearance together in almost seven years.

As we now understand all too well, however, that degree of fame comes at a price. For the first time in 30 years, the four surviving Boyzone band members Ronan Keating , Keith Duffy, Shane Lynch, and Mikey Graham are opening up about their personal journeys in three-part documentary series Boyzone: No Matter What.

With never-before-seen archive footage, emotional interviews, and even reflections from those close to the late Stephen Gately, who died in 2009, the series tells the honest tale of one of the most-loved Irish boy bands. Speaking about the documentary, Ronan admitted earlier this week: "It has been harrowing at times. Very emotional. And fun, too."

"I mean, there's some great footage out there of Saturday morning Live and Kicking TV shows and all that, and we went through all of this content over years and years and years. It took us two years to get here and to make this film, and it was worth the wait. There were times when I thought: 'I'm making a mistake making this film'."

"I don't really want the world to see the mistakes we made and the people that, maybe, at times, we were behind the scenes. That wasn't pretty. But I realised that the truth needed to be told. That's why it is the film that it is. It's incredibly honest, incredibly tough to watch at times, and upsetting, very upsetting every time I watch it I'm a mess. But I'm proud of it."

Louis Walsh appears in the documentary and gives his side of the story, after a long, documented feud with Ronan over the years. Asked how he feels about watching his estranged manager share his thoughts, Ronan explained: " I guess I appreciated his honesty, that he didn't come guarded, you know?"

"He let his walls down, he told the truth, and as did I about this situation, about the situation between Louis and I. You know, I miss him. I miss him in my life. He was a father figure to me, and I would not be where I am if it wasn't for Louis. The challenges that he had in front of him, and he pushed and pushed so that Boyzone succeeded when everyone else laughed at us."
