Boyzone reunited for the first time in nearly seven years on June 5, 2024, at London’s Emirates Stadium for the "One For The Road: Live" farewell concert. While Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy and Shane Lynch opened the show, guitarist‑vocalist Mikey Graham was absent until later, delivering just four numbers before the encore. The limited appearance sparked a wave of confusion and speculation among the crowd and on social media.
