Keith Duffy has been taken to hospital while on tour with Boyzone.

The singer fell ill before the boy band were due to perform in Bangkok, Thailand, on Thursday, 28 March. Boyzone were forced to go ahead with the show without Duffy there.

Duffy, 44, was taken to hospital “on the advice of the local medical team”, a statement said.

A tweet from the band’s official Twitter account said: “Our brother will be back on his feet as soon as possible and we thank you for all your wonderful support in the meantime.”

Boyzone – which also consists of Ronan Keating, Mikey Graham and Shane Lynch – are currenly on a farewell tour to mark their 25th anniversary.


They are next scheduled to perform in Perth, Australia, on 30 March. It is unclear if Duffy will be performing.
