Defunct Irish boyband Boyzone are planning a spectacular tour next year - to say goodbye to their fans for the last time. The group split in 2000 when singer Ronan Keating embarked on a successful solo career.

There has been much talk of a reunion since - and bandmember Stephen Gately insists one is imminent.

He says, "We always promised the fans a farewell tour and we're hoping that will take place next year. It's really a case of working out when the five of us can get on stage at the same time. Take That certainly did well out of a reunion tour."
