Once a heartthrob in one of the 90s’ biggest boy bands, Mikey Graham has traded stadium tours for solitude. Now 52, the founding member of Boyzone has left the limelight far behind, opting for a reclusive, nomadic lifestyle in rural Ireland.
In a first look at the upcoming Sky documentary No Matter What, Graham appears nearly unrecognizable compared to his fresh-faced pop days. He candidly describes his departure from the music industry as a necessary escape.
“I just wanted out,” Graham confesses in the trailer. “And to get away from that toxic environment.”
Band Tensions Revealed
The documentary, premiering February 2, peels back the curtain on the group’s internal dynamics. Frontman Ronan Keating makes a startling admission: he has not spoken to Graham—often dubbed “The Quiet One”—in four years. This revelation highlights the fractures that remain decades after their chart-topping reign.
Tragedy and Management
Beyond the feuds, the three-part series revisits the heartbreaking loss of bandmate Stephen Gately in 2009. Keating is shown breaking down in tears while recalling the moment the band learned of Gately’s death.
Meanwhile, former manager Louis Walsh offers his trademark blunt assessment of the group’s history. He claims the members eventually “believed their own publicity,” which he wryly admits to fabricating himself.
