Ronan Keating wants to do a McBusted with a Boyzone-Westlife supergroup

Biggest question here is, obviously, would it be called Boylife of Westzone?

Ex-Boyzone member Ronan Keating thinks it would be "fun" to pull a McBusted and reunite both Boyzone and Westlife as a combined force.

"The idea's been thrown around alright. Different collaborations," he told PA (via Digital Spy). "Not just Westlife, but Girls Aloud and lots of different collaborations. I don't know. Maybe, maybe. Never say never to those sort of things."

"We'll see. Not right now, but maybe, maybe we would," he added. "It'd be cool fun I think to do something like that, definitely."

And, now, onto the important business. What exactly would this beast of a supergroup be called? Boylife sounds a little boy scout manual, whilst Westzone sounds a little post-apocalyptic laser tag arena, so the group will have their work cut out if they want to land on an actually catchy name.

Boyzone and Westlife, both hailing from Ireland, rose to fame in the mid and late-90s. Keating has since developed his own solo following, having just released his 10th studio album Time of My Life; though he featured in Boyzone alongside Keith Duffy, Shane Lynch, Michael Graham, and Stephen Gately. Gately, unfortunately, passed suddenly from a congenital heart defect in 2009.

Westlife's membership was Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, Mark Feehily, Shane Filan, and Brian McFadden. If Keating could somehow gather together all these disparate members, then, maybe Boylife/Westzone could even further combine with McBusted to make the undefeatable megaband, McBoybustzone.
