Best Known For:
Making teenage girls swoon.
Early-life:
Ronan Patrick John Keating was born on March 3, 1977, in Dublin, the youngest of five children - he has three brothers and a sister. Raised in an impoverished but loving family in the small town of Dunshaughlin, he was especially close to his mother, Marie, who died from breast cancer in 1998. As a child, Keating was thrown out of the school choir after the teacher told him he couldn't sing. He was also bullied, prompting him to leave school at 16 and concentrate on music.
Career:
Keating performed with several bands before joining Boyzone. He beat 300 other hopefuls to become the lead singer. A cover of Working My Way Back to You was Boyzone's long-forgotten first single, followed up by hits such as Love Me For A Reason, Picture Of You and Words. By the mid-1990s, the group were the successors to Take That's crown as the biggest boy band around. At the height of their fame Keating began solo work and is now successful in his own right. He rejoined his old pals for a successful reunion. He's also enjoyed a spell as co-manager of Westlife and has presented various TV shows, as well as competing in charity sporting challenges.
Quote:
"I don't believe in regrets. I'm a religious person. God has set a path for me and that is the road I'm taking."
Trivia:
In 2014, he joined the cast of West End musical Once.
