No Matter What
(Boyzone)

Boyzone are an Irish boy band put together in 1993 by Louis Walsh who is also known for managing Johnny Logan and Westlife. Although the band members moved on to concentrate on solo projects in 2000, they famously made a comeback in 2007, originally with the intention of just touring but Ronan Keating confirmed in an interview with the Sunday Mail that they wanted to "outdo Take That's success" in terms of a successful reunion. Tragically, Co-lead singer Stephen Gately died on 10 October 2009 at the age of 33 of natural causes in Majorca, Spain.

The song "No Matter What". was originally written for the Andrew Lloyd Webber stage musical 'Whistle Down The Wind'. To date, it is the group's best selling single and was voted 'Song of the Year' in 1998. The song was also recorded by Meat Loaf and Boyzone shared the stage with him to perform the song during his 1998 live concert in Dublin.
