Fans of Boyzone have renewed concerns for founding member Mikey Graham after the group noticed he was absent from rehearsal photos.
The hit-making Irish group are set to perform just two London concerts at the Emirates Stadium on Friday (June 5) and Saturday (June 6). It will mark the group’s first shows since their 2019 Thank You & Goodnight Tour.
Last September, Boyzone revealed these will mark their final shows together as a band.
Initially, fans were disappointed after finding out that other dates had not been announced, especially in their native Ireland. However, there have since been more multiple concerns about Mikey…
Boyzone fans concerned for Mikey Graham
Since the show’s announcement, founding members Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy, and Shayne Lynch have been embarking on promo without Mikey present.
According to the promotional poster, Mikey is set to join the group this weekend. However, no reason has been given for his absence, leaving their fanbase questioning the same thing.
“Where’s Mikey?” one user wrote, adding the crying face emoji.
“Where is Mickey? Surely if they were doing one last gig as a four he’d be with them promoting it. Something’s not quite right,” another person shared.
“Seriously like if Mikey is going to come back, include him in the promotion. There is no excuse not to do it another day instead of today. Something fishy, will Mikey really come back?” a third said.
“Not the same without Mikey. Hope he’s ok,” a fourth person shared.
Since March 2024, Mikey has not been present on his Instagram page. However, he did star in the Boyzone Sky documentary, No Matter What, last year.
Renewed concerns
With the final concerts now just a few days away, the group have shared behind-the-scenes snapshots of them in rehearsals.
In an Instagram photo posted yesterday (June 2), Ronan, Keith and Shayne posed for solo Polaroid photos.
Meanwhile, in another photo, Ronan and Keith appeared in a rehearsal room in front of their mics. In the pic, only three mic stands could be seen.
Due to Mikey’s ongoing absence throughout their promo appearances, fans are still wondering if he will turn up at the shows.
‘This is so odd’
“Each photo uploaded breaks my heart that little bit more that Mikey isn’t in them,” one user wrote.
“So sad no Mikey still, really hope he’s there but just not on camera, be gutted if he isn’t,” another person shared.
“Will Mikey see us there Saturday?” a third remarked.
“Is Mikey coming?” a fourth asked.
“If Mikey isn’t rehearsing, then how will he be able to perform with the guys and their band? This is so odd,” a fifth said.
