Ronan Keating has lived an extraordinary life so far, from childhood on a housing estate in North Dublin to recording chart-topping singles in the grounds of his own country house. Seven years after Boyzone took their first steps to fame, he tells of his move to a new kind of solo success. The book ventures behind the scenes to reveal interesting aspects of Keating's rise to stardom, such as: meeting up with fellow Irishmen U2, a band he idolises; coping with rumours about his own sexuality; Stephen Gately's "gay" revelation; Ronan's discovery of Westlife, a boy group he manages; and vivid recollections of his relationship with his mother, who died of cancer as Boyzone finally made it to the big time.
