Keating eyes dark, edgy 'Hobbit' role

Ronan Keating has apparently auditioned for a role in The Hobbit as part of his quest to move into the movie industry. The Boyzone singer is still waiting to hear back from the producers behind the two-part Lord Of The Rings prequel. Keating said: "I don’t think I'll get the role of 'The Hobbit'. But I would like to take on roles which nobody would expect. I don't want to be reduced to love stories. I'd like to try dark, edgy roles. I need a challenge." The father-of-three told freundin.de that despite his acting aspirations, he is still committed to Boyzone. "I just love to work with the guys," he said. Director Peter Jackson recently confirmed that both Hobbit scripts have been delivered to MGM and the Guillermo del Toro project is currently in the budgeting stages.

Boyzone, Lady Gaga Top U.K. Charts

Irish pop band Boyzone's "Brother" (Polydor/Universal) returned to the top of the U.K. album chart yesterday, as Lady Gaga's "Telephone" (Interscope/Universal), featuring Beyoncé, started a second week atop the singles survey.

The Boyzone album, dedicated to their late former colleague Stephen Gately, entered at No. 1 two weeks ago before dipping to No. 3, but was revitalized by the Mar. 21 screening of the group's tribute show to Gately on ITV. The hour-long special featured Boyzone performances with fellow Irish pop outfit Westlife and Mika, alongside tributes from former Irish prime minister Bertie Ahern, Robbie Williams and many others. The single "Gave It All Away," which debuted at No. 9 three weeks ago, bounced back 29-10.

Gaga's "The Fame" album fell 1-2 as Justin Bieber's "My World" (Def Jam/Universal) raced 33-3 in its 10th chart week. The album had previously peaked at No. 4 in its debut week in late January and now revives after the teen star's U.K. promo visit. Bieber's "Baby" single, featuring Ludacris, climbed back 4-3, where it entered two weeks ago. English singer-songwriter Laura Marling's sophomore album "I Speak Because I Can" (Virgin/EMI), much acclaimed in the British media, debuted at No. 4, two years after her debut set "Alas, I Cannot Swim" reached No. 45.

With "'Glee': The Music: Season One, Volume 2" (Epic/Sony Music Entertainment) down 2-5, Goldfrapp's "Head First" (Mute/EMI) arrived at No. 6 to become the duo's third consecutive U.K. top ten album. The last two, 2005's "Supernature" and "Seventh Tree" in 2008, both reached No. 2.

Elsewhere on the singles chart, Cheryl Cole's "Parachute" (Fascination/Polydor/Universal) climbed 6-5 and Inna's "Hot" (3 Beat/All Around The World/UMTV) 8-6. "Bedrock" (Universal) by Young Moneyfeaturing Lloyd improved 12-9, and there was a No. 13 entry for "Omg" (LaFace/Sony Music Entertainment) by Usher featuring will.i.am.

Both of Billboard's pan-European sales charts had new No. 1s, with Amy Macdonald's "A Curious Thing" (Mercury/Universal) rising 3-1 on European Albums and Belgian singer-songwriter Stromae's "Alors On Danse" (Mosaert/Vertigo/Universal) moving back 2-1 for a second aggregate week atop Hot 100 Singles.

BOYZONE SHOW OFF NEW IMAGE

LET me introduce you to the new and improved Irish manband Boyzone. Yesterday I told you how the video to their hot new tune Love Is A Hurricane, out on May 17, was blowing the wind up my sails. Now see for yourself. A naked Shane Lynch, 33, said: “We wanted the vid to be striking and powerful. We filmed it at Battersea Power Station in London as it was a really raw and urban backdrop for us to work with.” I’m off for a lie down...

Boyzone singer left Coronation Street fans puzzled

Boyzone singer and Coronation Street actor Keith Duffy has left Coronation Street fans puzzled after the Boyzone singer claims he is not leaving the soap. A Sunday newspaper claimed the singer was leaving Coronation Street to concentrate on Boyzone and fans believed the claims were true after watching the tribute to Steven Gately where all Boyzone members including Ronan said they were committed to Boyzone. Ronan even said he would be glad when all the other stuff the lads and he were doing, all the commitments they had were no longer so Boyzone could be their main priority. Keith Duffy however has come forward on the Official Coronation Street site and said he is not leaving the soap. The actor and singer even claimed the story was made up and was excited at new storylines that were coming his way and told fans that he was committed to Coronation Street. The article claimed Keith said: "I need to concentrate on being with the boys. "We've got a lot coming up so I've decided they'll take priority. "I love the show so it's been a hard decision. But I know it's right."

Fans have been left puzzled, with Coronation Street fans wondering if one of their favourite characters will be staying in the soap while Boyzone fans are concerned that the lads from Boyzone will not be going all out to produce more albums and tours with the lads doing their separate things.

Boyzone - Brother (Universal)

LAST October, the members of Boyzone were rocked by the shock death of their bandmate Stephen Gately, at just 33. On their latest album, and first studio album since 1998, the ageing boyband pay tribute to their lost “brother” while delivering the sort of catchy and heartfelt pop mu sic they made their name on. But as one would suspect, there’s nothing groundbreaking here. Obviously at times tinged with sadness — see the brilliant One More Song — Brother is a fairly fitting farewell to Gately, who features on two tracks — the gentle reggae-paced Gave It All Away and the melancholic closer Stronge r.Thankfully, there are no standard, soppy cover versions, but the piano ballad ‘Til The Sun Goes Down does swipe the melody from Frankie Valli’s Grease.

Boyzone Brother Review

The comeback trail for Boyzone was a bumpy one long before the death ofStephen Gately in October 2009, an event that delayed completion of this fourth studio album.

Back Again… No Matter What, released in 2008 to coincide with reunion activity – the group had been effectively disbanded since 2000 – was a poorly received rehashing of 1999’s best-of set, By Request; its three new songs offered little beyond the established, ballad-heavy formula. Tour tickets sold well, but unlike 1990s rivals-cum-peers Take That, Boyzone didn’t noticeably embrace a fresh audience upon their return.

While Take That have now courted the affections of three generations, the stolid, workmanlike approach to arrangement on Boyzone albums has always been too clinical to enjoy comparable appeal. And it was only after Take That’s split in 1996 that Boyzone hit their creative stride, with third album Where We Belong (1998) featuring a number of tracks written by the singers themselves.

Sadly, in the same year they took Westlife on tour with them, leading to a period of pop dominance that most will want to forget. Seven numbers ones in a row: who’d admit to buying them now? Anyway, pardon the digression: back to Brother matters, and album four from Boyzone plays out largely to expectations. It’s soft about its edges, its lyrical content exclusively syrupy – but that’s fine, as at this stage in their career, pronounced progression was never a likely option. The four play to recognised strengths, and their writing/producing team – with credits likeLeona Lewis, Celine Dion and Delta Goodrem – is an accomplished, if not particularly showy one.

It’s sad, though, that Gately eulogy-of-sorts Gave It All Away – written by Mika, and featuring the late singer’s easily identifiable vocals – is so very poor. Beginning with backwards strings, the song shuffles to an awkward, cod-reggae beat – imagine Ali Campbell on auto pilot, writing for the money. Such is the opener’s weakness that Love Is a Hurricane can’t fail to impress. Invigoratingly breezy, and featuring a strong Ronan Keating lead vocal, it’s evidence that Boyzone can raise the pace when it suits them, rare though such instances are. Let Your Wall Fall Down is another welcome diversion into such territories.

But with ballads dominating, Brother is a Boyzone album for Boyzone fans – younger ears accustomed to the faster RnB tempos of contemporary boybands like JLS may wonder what the fuss was ever about.

High Five: Boyzone's Brother Tops The Charts

Boyzone's first album since the death of bandmate Stephen Gately has gone straight to the top of the UK charts. Brother is the band's fifth number one album and features vocals recorded by Gately before his death in Majorca. Gately, 33, died from natural causes at his holiday villa in October last year. He had been working on the new Boyzone album shortly before his death. The band released one of the tracks off the album in January as a tribute single to Gately.

Gave It All Away begins with Gately singing the words: "I've learned to live before I die, I've learned to love and learned to try not to give it all away."

At the time of the track's release, Boyzone's Ronan Keatingtold Sky News Online: "The four of us have given our heart and soul to this to make the best possible record we can make for Stephen and his family.

"Thankfully Stephen had recorded the entire song so we were able to go away and work with what he had done.

"I hope the end result does him justice. I think it's beautiful."

Meanwhile, Boyzone have revealed they are almost ready to tour again.

The group, who performed for the first time without Gately last week, said that sales of their album have inspired them to get back on the road.

Scouting For Girls, Boyzone Top U.K. Charts

London pop trio Scouting For Girls scored their first U.K. No. 1 single on the new sales charts published yesterday (Sunday) by the Official Charts Company with "This Ain't A Love Song" (Epic/Sony Music Entertainment). Boyzone's "Brother" (Polydor/Universal) started a second consecutive and third aggregate week atop the album chart.

Scouting For Girls made their U.K. chart debut in the summer of 2007 with the minor top 40 hit "It's Not About You," after which they scored consecutive top ten singles with "She's So Lovely" and "Elvis Ain't Dead." A third top ten hit, "Heartbeat," followed in 2008, but "Love Song" is the band's first bestseller, and precedes their second album "Everybody Wants To Be on TV," due for British release next Monday (12).

Lady Gaga's "Telephone" (Interscope/Universal), featuring Beyoncé, No. 1 on the singles survey for the last two weeks, fell to No. 2 and was followed by two more new entries. U.K. rapper Plan B, a.k.a. Londoner Ben Drew, debuted at No. 3 with "She Said" (679/Atlantic/Warner Music), his second top ten single after January's "Stay Too Long." Plan B was also the featured rapper on "End Credits," a top ten hit for Chase & Status last November.

New at No. 4, becoming the highest-charting single in a U.K. singles chart career spanning almost 13 years, was "History Maker" (Survivor) by the English Christian band Delirious?. Ironically, their first top tenner after seven previous top 40 singles comes a few months after Delirious? announced that they were disbanding. The track, a longtime live favorite from the band's 1997 album "King of Fools," was the subject of a Facebook campaign to get it to No. 1 for Easter on the U.K. chart.

Also having a good singles week were "Omg" (LaFace/Sony Music Entertainment) by Usher featuring will.i.am, which climbed 13-8, and "Carry Out" (Interscope/Universal) by Timbaland featuring Justin Timberlake, up 29-16.

Boyzone stayed at No. 1 in an unchanged top three on the album chart, with Lady Gaga's "The Fame" (Interscope/Universal) still at No. 2 and Justin Bieber's "My World" (Def Jam/Universal) steady at No. 3. The highest new entry, at No. 10, was "The Very Best of Free & Bad Company" (Rhino/UMTV), the first collection combining catalog material by two bands fronted by English rock vocalist Paul Rodgers. Released to coincide with U.K. shows by the reunited Bad Company line-up, it charted at an impressive No. 10 after some high-profile promo work by Rodgers, and becomes Bad Company's first top ten album appearance since "Desolation Angels" reached No. 10 in 1979, and Free's first since "The Best of Free - All Right Now" hit No. 9 in 1991.

On Billboard's pan-European sales charts, Amy Macdonald's "A Curious Thing" (Mercury/Universal) is in a second week atop European Albums listing, while Stromae's "Alors On Danse" (Mosaert/Vertigo/Universal) spends a second consecutive and third aggregate week at No. 1 on Hot 100 Singles.

Boyzone released a new song featuring Stephen Gately

Boyzone have announced the release of their first song since the death of Stephen Gately.

Gave It All Away, which features the late singer's vocals, is due out on 1 March, to be followed by a new album, Brother, on 8 March.Gately died, aged 33, at his Majorcan holiday home in October last year. He sings the song's opening lines: "I will learn to live before I die". The accompanying video is "incredibly raw," said singer Ronan Keating.
It features archive video of Gately and his band-members, intercut with newly-filmed scenes of the group writing letters to their "other brother".
Keating, Keith Duffy, Shane Lynch and Mikey Graham are also seen shedding a tear for their former bandmate.
"It's us reminiscing about the good times and the laughter," explained Keating.
"There's a nice scene of us four brothers sat around a table... with Stephen's favourite picture hanging up behind us.
"Phil (Griffin, director) just filmed us fly-on-the-wall for that so it's just us as we are," he added.
"We wanted the footage to be as truthful and honest as possible based on how we were feeling and were reacting during the making of the video on that day," he added.
But Keating said the band "didn't want it being too mournful all the way through".
Vocals for the song, written by Mika, were recorded in the summer of 2009, following Boyzone's sell-out UK tour.
The Irish band have clocked up four number one albums, and 16 consecutive top five singles in the UK.
In October, a post mortem revealed Gately had died of natural causes.
