Ronan Keating and Louis Walsh, who collaborated during Boyzone's success and Keating's solo career, have a bitter history. Keating accuses Walsh of prioritizing television appearances over managing his music career effectively.
Ronan Keating has publicly criticized Louis Walsh for prioritizing television opportunities over his music career. Keating, who was managed by Walsh during his time with Boyzone and as a solo artist, alleges that Walsh became disinterested in his music as he pursued fame on shows like The X Factor. Keating claims that Walsh's focus shifted, leading to creative disagreements and ultimately harming his career. The two had a bitter falling out, with Keating firing Walsh as his manager.
In an upcoming Sky Documentary, Boyzone: No Matter What, the pair confront their past conflicts. Keating accuses Walsh of making 'the wrong choices' and failing to support his artistic aspirations. He feels that Walsh was more interested in branding him as a 'middle of the road artist' appealing to older women rather than nurturing his desire for artistic credibility. Walsh, however, denies these claims, asserting that he was dedicated to Ronan's success and that his decisions were made with the singer's best interests in mind. He argues that Ronan's market was specifically targeting older women and that the chosen songs were intended to capitalize on that. The documentary revisits their history, starting from their initial meeting when Keating, then 16, responded to a newspaper ad placed by Walsh seeking members for a boyband. Boyzone achieved significant success, becoming the second most successful British boyband after Take That. Despite their initial close relationship, their bond fractured in 2012 when Walsh publicly labeled Keating 'talentless and spoiled'. This led to a bitter feud that continues to this day. The documentary promises to shed light on the complex relationship between these two music industry figures, exploring the factors that led to their downfall
