Truth about why the Boyzone fallout is STILL toxic: Friends tell KATIE HIND why they 'despise' Louis Walsh for what he did, the bandmates' bad blood... and the cruelty and rivalry that tore them apart


As Stephen Gately lay in an open coffin on the night before his funeral following his tragic and untimely death in 2009, he was surrounded by his Boyzone bandmates.

Screened on Sky Documentaries, it promises to give fans a look at the 'conflict and rivalry, betrayal and tragedy' of the band - and that '30 years on, all four remaining members - Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy, Shane Lynch and Michael 'Mikey' Graham, as well as their estranged manager, Louis Walsh – [will] reveal the truth of what really happened ... and the huge costs that being in a boyband had on each of them.' He had spent the evening with his partner Andrew Cowles at the Black Cat club in Majorca's capital, Palma, before returning home with a man that they had met that night, Bulgarian Georgi Dochev. Despite this bitterness and anger, at the end of the programme viewers will see a recently recorded scene with Ronan, Keith, Shane and Mikey embrace over a pint in an apparent move to show unity.
