The love shown to Boyzone has been remarkable since they announced their forthcoming retirement with their final album Thank You & Goodnight and a subsequent farewell tour.

Boyzone are going out at the absolute top of their game, with numerous shows sold-out months in advance and a further seven arena dates just added. Recent singles Because (co-written by Ed Sheeran) and Dream (a heartfelt tribute to Stephen Gately) have been lapped up by fans and earned high profile airplay, while their huge Radio 2 Live in Hyde Park show underlined their enduring popularity and catalogue of hits.

Now this final chapter again gathers pace with the news that Boyzone have teamed up with another boyband legend in the shape of Gary Barlow, who has co-written their brand new single Love.

The new single was aired yesterday for the first time on BBC Radio 2. And the music video has already been put up on YouTube, which you can check out here.

The new single is taken from the final album, Thank You & Goodbye, which will be released on 16 November.

Emotional and nostalgic yet brimming with positivity for a brighter future, the new song Love represents all of Boyzone’s finest traits in one immediately affective anthem.

As the boys’ harmonies build to a powerful crescendo, it’s the perfect song to capture a special moment in their journey together. The song was produced and co-written by John Shanks (Take That, Westlife).

Boyzone commented, “Boyzone fans everywhere will love the sentiment and passion in this huge song and we can't wait for everyone to hear it.”
