Boyzlife

When Keith Duffy and Brian McFadden first went on the road as Boyzlife – the supergroup made up of the former Boyzone and Westlife members – they never imagined that six years later they would be preparing to release an album of original material.

“The whole concept of the band at the start was that we wanted to do an autobiographical show,” says Keith. “Instead of doing what everybody else does and write their life experiences through the music business in a book for people to read, we decided to actually tell people the stories out loud.”

As members of two of the most successful boy bands in the world, Boyzone and Westlife, and having collectively sold over 55 million records around the world and racking up a whopping 17 Number One singles in the UK, Keith and Brian had stories to tell. “We were just giving our fans an idea from our perspective of how our life changed from being an ordinary teenager growing up in Dublin, to jetting around the world and performing in some of the most amazing venues around the world,” Keith continues. “The stories were about the people we got to meet, the artists we got to perform with and the artists we became friends with.”

Indeed, since their conception in 2016, Boyzlife have toured extensively around the UK, Europe, southeast Asia, the Middle East, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand, playing to over 200,000 fans in the process.
