Singer Ronan Keating has said that he wasn't the reason that Boyzone broke up in 1999.

Speaking to Hello! magazine, the singer said: "A lot of people felt I was the reason Boyzone broke up. But it was the five of us that decided Boyzone was taking a break."

"Yes, I led the break-up, but I fully intended to come back; we all did," he said.

"And then my career took off. I wasn't expecting it to be like that. It went crazy for me and it was an amazing time - I was riding the crest of a wave and I couldn't drop it."

The group recently reunited and announced a number of concert dates in Ireland and the UK.
