Ronan KeatingRonan Keating has dismissed reports that his former band Boyzone are thinking of following in Take That’s footsteps and planning a full comeback tour this year - but he won’t rule it out for the future.

Reports started circulating that the band were considering a reunion after seeing how successful their once rivals have been but Ronan insists he’s still concentrating on his solo career for the time being.

He said recently: “All that speculation in the papers that we’ve done a deal for millions is absolute rubbish.”

“I’m making a new record and I can’t let anything get in the way of that, but if we got the right deal over a short period and if it fits in between now and my next album coming out, I’d love to do it.”

“I’d love to do it for the other [Boyzone] guys as well because I know that I’ve been the one holding it up.”
