After all these years, the boys are back in the band Brian McFadden and Ronan Keating are teaming up again and touring throughout March. RONAN Keating and Brian McFaddens history stretches back to the mid '90s when Keating was all conquering frontman of hit boy band Boyzone and McFadden was just a teenager who was hoping to make it big. Keating went on to manage McFadden's band Westlife, helping steer them on a path that led to the group scoring more UK No.1s than the Beatles. But in recent years, after McFadden left the group, his personal life started getting in the way of his career. Now Keating has once again taken McFadden under his wing, as the opening act on his UK and Australian tours. It was the first time McFadden toured the UK in seven years. "It's a great testament to how Ronan's stuck by me through my entire career," McFadden says. Keating adds the reaction has lifted McFadden's confidence. It was a bit unknown for him, like starting over. He didn't know what he was getting himself in for. But he's in the room with my audience, it's a perfect scenario. He's been welcomed with open arms. The pair also performed a duet on McFadden's new covers album The Irish Connection.
