Evergreen Pop SENSATION

Ronan Keating, the pop sensation from the 1990s and 2000s whose repertoire includes hit songs from his solo albums as well as his successful band Boyzone performed in Bangalore to a packed audience at the Bhartiya Mall of Bengaluru. Along with the five members of Boyzone, Keating scored six number one singles and five number one albums in the UK. He made his debut with 2000s Ronan, topping the charts in the UK and hitting number two in Ireland.

Ronan Patrick John Keating hails from Dublin, Ireland and was raised in a working-class family with a father who drove trucks and a mother who worked as a hairdresser. He became interested in performing, and around age 16, auditioned for Boyzone after seeing manager Louis Walsh's newspaper advertisement looking to put together an Irish version of the successful English boy band Take That. Keating made his solo debut with the song "When you say nothing at all" for the soundtrack to the romantic comedy Notting Hill that went to number 1 in the UK and paved the way for his debut solo album. If Tomorrow Never Comes and Life is a Roller Coaster are two of his popular songs, besides many others. The concert in Bengaluru was an enchanting fusion of music and Magic Moments, weaving an unforgettable tapestry of memories for all his fans.

We caught up with the Irish Pop singer and television presenter, Ronan Keating who became one of Europe's most recognizable stars as the leader of the boy band Boyzone before the concert at ZLB23, Leela Palace Bengaluru.
