When Ronan met Burt
Ronan Keating joins us to chat about his musical collaboration with Burt Bacharach
Mar 23, 2011 by Ocean Horan
Ronan Keating has had an extraordinary pop career spanning 18 years, having performed for the Pope and Prince Charles and even Pavarotti.
Fresh from a UK tour with Boyzone and with the release of his new album, a collaboration with the legendary Burt Bacharach, Ronan joins us for a chat and to perform Arthur's Theme.
Ronan contacted Burt last year about working with him and Burt rang back to say he'd love to.
For Ronan, getting to work with 82-year-old Burt was a lifelong dream: "I grew up listening to his songs and it was an honour to sing them alongside him.
"But that's not all Ronan's been up to recently. Boyzone have also been touring for the first time since Stephen's death: "We didn't know if we could do it without Stephen. Then we played at the Albert Hall and the reception was unbelievable. We came off feeling fantastic, knowing we had the full support of fans.
"Ronan has said he would love it if a movie about Boyzone was made: "Five lads from the wrong side of the tracks, catapulted into the frame. To have the success, the break-up, the marriages, the fights, the battles - it was rock'n'roll. And to get back together and discover a beautiful brotherhood."
