IT'S BOY GROANS!

Lads not planning more shows due to 'dodgy knees..' but hopes for an Irish gig remain

BOYZONE say they have only reunited for one gig because their knees can't take a full tour.

The Irish foursome, now in their late 40s and 50s, admit announcing their biggest-ever show - set tot take place at Arsenal's stadium in London - is handy because they're not fit enough for a full tour.

However, Irish fans are still holding out hope that the boys - Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy, Shane Lynch and Mikey Graham - will play a gig here, with odds being slashed on a date at Croke Park.

Ronan said: "There's no new music, it's not a reunion, we're not getting the band back together to go and tour the world.
