Ronan Keating, the voice behind iconic Boyzone hits, is set to return to the Philippines for a solo concert in Cebu on February 12th. The Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino will host the highly anticipated event, where Keating will reunite with his Filipino fans.
In an interview with ABS-CBN News, Keating expressed his excitement for the upcoming show, describing it as "very different" from his Boyzone performances. "I put a load of Boyzone music in there, too, because the Boyzone are no more," he shared. "So when I stand on stage, I guess I carry the flag for Boyzone." Fans can expect to hear all the classics, including "No Matter What," "Baby Can I Hold You," and "Words."
Keating also reflected on the significant role Asia played in Boyzone's early success. "We spent our formative years in Asia," he reminisced. "We came out there when I was 17 years old and the welcome that we got...we learned our craft on the stage in Asia because that's where we went. They love the songs." He expressed deep gratitude for the support the band received in the Philippines and across Asia, acknowledging its impact on his career. "I am where I am today, and I'm the artist I am today because of those years," he said.
Adding to the excitement, a new Boyzone documentary film, "No Matter What," is set to premiere next week. The film promises an intimate and raw look at the band's journey, including the tragic loss of Stephen Gately, the reasons behind their disbandment, and the complexities of their relationships.
"It's taken two years to make the film," Keating revealed. "It's very, very raw. It's very emotional. We don't hold back." He hinted at tensions within the band, promising viewers an unfiltered glimpse into their story.
Describing Boyzone as "not your typical boy band," Keating emphasized their authenticity and resilience. "Our story is not an easy one," he admitted. "Losing Stephen and the fallout in the band and getting back together again and on the fallout again, like it's been an up and down ride."
Despite the potential for painful memories to resurface, Keating believes it's crucial to share their story. "We're getting older and our story will fade away with us," he explained. "We had to get it off our chests. We have to tell our story...it's something for our children to have and our children's children to have."
With a mix of nostalgia, raw emotion, and heartfelt gratitude, Ronan Keating's return to Cebu promises to be a special event for both the artist and his Filipino fans.
