After an incredible 25 years, Boyzone announced earlier this year that this album and tour would be their last, meaning that this year is their last Christmas as a group.

Speaking backstage to Magic Radio at our Magic of Christmas concert, Shane Lynch spoke about how fans have reacted to the band’s farewell tour. He revealed they've been surprised by the reaction to their reunion and that the love has been "phenomenal".

Shane said, “It’s becoming very real for us, it wasn’t a kind of decision that we came to lightly… The support and the love that we’ve got since we put the tickets on sale for the tour, since we launched the album has been phenomenal and that’s kind of surprised us a little bit too.

“We didn’t realise that we still had such a big fan base and we’re very humbled by that, we’re very, very lucky. So we just want to make sure now that we give the best of ourselves to the fans to say thank you for 25 great years.”

We will be broadcasting out Magic of Christmas concert this Saturday on Magic Radio at 6pm. Listen to Magic Radio here.
