Boyzone back for good, says Mikey Graham
By Mirror.co.uk 10/04/2008
Boyzone star Mikey Graham has vowed that they will never split up again.
The singer, 35, was the driving force behind the reunion of Ireland's best-loved boyband.
And Mikey told Mirror.co.uk that this time around the Boyz are in it for keeps.
Mikey said: "To be honest as long as it feels good and we're having fun, we will continue with it. Our plan is to tour, have a greatest hits album and a couple of new songs by the end of this yearm and then there could be a new album in 2009."
He continued: "As far as breaking up is concerned, I don 't think we'll be doing that again. We are having so much fun - we are really enjoying this a lot more than we did before."

He explained he'd been inspired to get his band back together after seeing the Take That reunion: "I am good friends with Gary Barlow and I had seen how everything happened with Take That and how he carefully set everything up.
"I went to see their show in the Point Depot on their first comeback tour and it was just one of the best shows I had ever seen.
"So straight away I was on the phone to Shane Lynch and subsequently the other guys saying how it was amazing. I hadn't missed being in Boyzone at all until I got to that gig.
"And slowly the bridges were mended through time with the other guys and now we are up and running."
Even so, Mikey said the band were nervous about how their reunion would go down with their fans.
He said: "We were very apprehensive about how we would be received by both the media and the public. We didn't know if our fans would come back and give us the support we had years ago and obviously we are humbly thrilled with the response. "
Mikey will join Keith Duffy, Shane Lynch, Ronan Keating and Stephen Gately on their first UK tour in seven years next month.
