Shane Lynch has admitted all the members of Boyzone and Westlife are hoping to go on tour together.
The news comes after Shane’s fellow bandmate Keith Duffy and former Westlife star Brian McFadden have joined forces for supergroup Boyzlife.
The singer, who is set to celebrate 25 years with Boyzone, revealed both bands are hoping to be on the road before 2020 – despite Westlife being broken up.
“At the moment, we’re trying to put things into place to be on the road before 2020,” he said.

“I had put a tweet out about a year or so ago saying we should join forces.
“I wanted to see what people thought. Everyone was so positive, saying, ‘Oh my God, that would be such an amazing thing’,” he told the Irish Sun.
“They’re all the same fans really. I love Westlife, I love Boyzone, so we’re good to go in that respect.”
However, the Dubliner believes to succeed in music nowadays bands need to collaborate.

“But when it comes to music, who is taking over the world? The Americans. Why are they taking over the world? Because they are collaborating,” he said.
“You have people like Nicki Minaj collaborating with Justin Bieber. It’s the same with heavy hip-hop artists collaborating with pop artists.
“That’s why they’re taking over the world. We need to take a leaf out of their book,” he explained.
“If you want to rule in music, you need to collaborate and come together — be it Boyzone and Westlife, be it U2 and Westlife, be it Boyzone and The Cranberries.”
