Ronan Keating has said he is seeking a meeting with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to discuss the impact of the pandemic on the music industry.
43-year-old Keating vented his frustration about the situation on Twitter and tagged Johnson to request a socially distanced chat in the park.
Ok @BorisJohnson I think it's time we had a chat. I can’t come to yours nor can you come to mine. But can we meet in a park socially distant and discuss how this government is effecting UK musicians and the arts.

"Ok @BorisJohnson I think it's time we had a chat", he tweeted, adding, "I can’t come to yours nor can you come to mine. But can we meet in a park socially distant and discuss how this government is affecting UK musicians and the arts."
The former Boyzone star has won praise for his stance.
However, one Twitter user queried why he, as an Irishman, was so concerned about the UK music business.
Keating replied: "This is regarding the industry in a country I have been lucky enough to call home for 20 years and the country that allowed an Irish band start a career.
"Something I fear may never happen again due to recent government decisions."
Johnson has yet to respond to the request to meet.
