Sky has released the full-length trailer for the documentary Boyzone: No Matter What ahead of its release in a few weeks.
The doc will chart the meteoric rise of the Irish boyband — comprising Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy, Mikey Graham, Shane Lynch and the late Stephen Gately — and delve into the various struggles they went through in the cutthroat 1990s music scene.
Interviews with each band member explore how conflict behind the scenes culminated in their split in 1999, though they made a brief comeback twice before finally calling time on the band in 2019 after touring to celebrate their 25th anniversary.

The trailer shows that a lot of focus will be placed on how the tabloids portrayed Gately over his sexuality, as well as how the group processed the news of his death in 2009 at the age of 33.
Another element shown in the trailer is Graham's difficulty coping with what he calls the "toxic" situation he was in, and how it affected his life once the band came to an end.

As well as new interviews from the remaining Boyzone members, manager turned The X Factor judge Louis Walsh also appears in the documentary.

In the trailer we hear him say that he prefers "ordinary people" because "they do whatever you want at the start" and that the group "believed their own publicity [but] forgot I wrote it", highlighting some of the tensions that grew between him and the band.
The Boyzone documentary follows the recent release of the BBC's three-part documentary Boybands Forever, which covered everything from the rise of Take That, through the eras of Five and Blue, and beyond.
Boyzone: No Matter What will air on Sky Documentaries on Sunday, February 2. It will be available to stream via Sky Go/NOW.
