Westlife and Boyzone supergroup Boyzlife set to happen as Keith Duffy and Brian McFadden announce tour
'Nine of us Irish lads on a tour bus together, going round the world together. It would be absolute carnage'
All your teenage dreams are about to come true as members of the boybands Boyzone and Westlife look set to form their highly anticipated ‘supergroup’.
Following in the footsteps of McBusted - the combination of noughties ‘bands’ McFly and Busted - Keith Duffy and Brian McFadden have confirmed they will be appearing on stage together, with yet more members of each group set to join them.
According to The Sun, the new project is being backed by hotel giant Hilton and will see the duo take on their bands’ biggest hits, from “No Matter What” to “Flying Without Wings”.
The rag also claimed that discussions over the proposed group happened at Ronan Keating’s wedding last year, with a full-blown merger of the two bands hopefully in the pipeline. Keating has previously expressed interest in forming the supergroup.
McFadden - who quit Westlife in 2004 and has been starring in The Jump this series - said: “We all had a chat, the lads. We said it would be amazing.
“Not even just performing together, but can you imagine the craic? Nine of us Irish lads on a tour bus together, going round the world together.
“It would be absolute carnage. We all get on so well so you never know. We would have so much fun on tour.
“We could end up adding more people to the next one. Right now this is about me and Keith but the door is always open.”
Boyzlife will hit the road 16 October, going on a 12 date tour starting in London. The pair also expressed interest in doing a spin-off reality TV show. One step at a time lads.
