Boyzone announce Keith Duffy is BACK after horror hospital stint in Thailand

Boyzone star Keith Duffy was forced to leave his band-mates to perform without him after the "worst bad health experience" of his life.

The singer fell ill while in Bangkok, Thailand, last week, meaning Ronan Keating, Mikey Graham and Shane Lynch were forced to continue their tour in Australia without the 44-year-old.

However, now the group has happily revealed they are a foursome once more, sharing a picture cosying up to Keith as they reunited.

With their arms around two members of staff, the full group gleefully posed together again backstage.

They then shared a video of Keith speaking directly to their fans, as he addressed his recent secondary bowel infection and viral infection.

"Hello people, how are you hows it going?," he begun, while dressed in a glitzy sequin bomber jacket. "So obviously, I'm out of hospital, I'm out of Bankok, I'm here in Adelaide, we're going on in 5 minutes.

"I can't tell you how delighted I am to be back. It was such an emotional rollercoaster."
