Shane Lynch declares ‘love’ for Boyzone manager Louis Walsh despite troubled past

Despite bitter disagreements with Louis Walsh, Shane Lynch has remained firm that he still loves Boyzone manager.

The 48-year-old singer is a member of the iconic Welsh pop group along with Keith Duffy, 50, Michael Graham, 52, and lead singer Ronan Keating, 47. Stephen Gately, a singer who tragically passed away in 2009 due to a heart condition, was a part of the band along with him.

Boyzone, who formed in 1993, have been propelled back into the public consciousness thanks to a new documentary titled Watch Boyzone: No Matter What on Sky Documentaries. The band will share their thoughts and memories from their time in the charts and beyond in the special, which will air on Sunday, February 2.

The group’s famous management, according to 72-year-old X Factor judge Louis Walsh, appears to have had a fractious relationship with all the other artists the Irish music artist has collaborated with over the years. However, Shane has defended the former manager while also considering his difficulties in dealing with him.

In the documentary, Shane says: “Louis is an uneasy character, he always has been. Although he has awkward social skills, his one-liners save him. They’re what gave him his career.

He said things about us all in the past that made us unhappy, but it’s just him. You can’t get annoyed with him. Louis has criticised the boys for allowing their “egos” to grow at the same impressive rate as their fame during their chart-topping heyday.

But Shane explained:” He would say something like that on camera and then you’d go speak to him, to his face, and he’d say, ‘ you know I don’t mean it lads, I’m just getting the front page! ‘ That’s what he was fantastic at. “

The singer added:” I love the man. I love Louis Walsh. Because everything is cool, I’d love to sit down and have a beer with him at any time in my life. “The update comes just hours after reports suggest Boyzone” despise “their old manager. A source told the Daily Mail:” The scars are still there, the hurt ran very, very deep.

They still seem so confused about everything. After all these years, there has been a lot of bad blood. They have since moved on, but it has been nearly impossible to forgive. And despite the former group’s alleged tense feelings, it is believed that their feelings for Louis are mutual.

They are said to “despise” their former manager, with the Daily Mail claiming only the late Stephen Gately, who died in 2009, had remained on speaking terms with the former X Factor judge. Meanwhile, fans don’t have much longer to wait to watch all the highs and lows of Boyzone’s career when the documentary hit screens next month.

A synopsis for the documentary states: “They were one of the most successful and iconic boybands of all time but behind-the-scenes, conflict and rivalry, betrayal and tragedy led to their falling apart. Now, thirty years on, all four remaining members – Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy, Shane Lynch and Michael ‘ Mikey ‘ Graham, as well as their estranged manager, Louis Walsh reveal the truth of what really happened, the extraordinary highs of their meteoric rise to fame, and the huge costs that being in a boyband had on each of them”.

Louis will also be revealing his thoughts on Boyzone’s success and the series’ intense media coverage and scrutiny alongside the four Dubliners.
