1994: Boyzone's beginnings

Manager Louis Walsh put out audition advertisements in 1993, looking for an 'Irish Take That'. After whittling 300 down to 50, the final band members were chosen to be Ronan Keating, Stephen Gately, Keith Duffy, Richard Rock, Shane Lynch and Mark Walton. When Richard left due to 'musical differences' with Ronan, he was replaced by Mikey Graham. Mark left a year later.


They got signed in 1994 after singing in pubs and clubs, releasing a cover of 'Working My Way Back to You' by Four Seasons, before putting out a cover of 'Love Me for a Reason' by the Osmonds, which peaked at Number 2 in the UK charts. Their debut album 'Said and Done' was released in August 1995 and went to Number 1 in the UK.

1996: Second album and Eurovision

The band's follow-up album 'A Different Beat' was released in 1996, and sold 2 million copies around the world as well as hitting Number 1 in the UK. Boyzone performed at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1997, singing 'Let The Message Run Free', with Ronan also co-hosting the show with actress Carrie Crowley.


That same year, Ronan was awarded the Ivor Novello Award for songwriting for 'Picture of You', which appeared on the band's third album 'Where We Belong', released in 1998. It sold over 3 million copies worldwide and went to Number 1 in the UK.

1998: Ronan lost his mother, Marie

1998 brought sorrow for Ronan in his personal life - he lost his mother, Marie, to breast cancer. However, her devastating death spurred Ronan to open the Marie Keating Foundation, and it became a registered charity in 2001. It's now one of the biggest cancer charities in Ireland.


Boyzone recorded a version of 'No Matter What' from Andrew Lloyd Webber's 'Whistle Down The Wind' musical - it became the band's best-selling single and was voted Song of the Year in 1998. Meat Loaf also covered the song, and the band teamed up with him to perform it on stage at his 1998 concert in Dublin. They also sang it with Luciano Pavarotti in Italy.

1999: Boyzone's greatest hits and split

The band released their greatest hits album 'By Request' in May 1999, and Ronan released his first solo single - 'When You Say Nothing At All', recorded for the film Notting Hill which came out that year. It went to Number 1 in the UK.


In November 1999, Boyzone announced that they would be taking some time out of the band to focus on their individual solo efforts. During the next seven years, Ronan managed other bands and wrote music, putting out his debut solo album 'Ronan' in 2000 which has since been certified 4x Platinum.

Ronan, Shane, Keith and Mikey issued a joint statement which read, 'Stephen tragically died yesterday whilst on holiday with his partner Andrew in Majorca. We are completely devastated by the loss of our friend and brother, Stephen. We have shared such wonderful times together over the years and were all looking forward to sharing many more.
