Louis Walsh has hit out at Boyzone – who he used to manage – telling them to quit the music industry.
The X Factor judge, who formed the group more than two decades ago, said “enough is enough”.
And in a shocking attack on the boyband, he said: “They are a bit beyond it now – it’s time to go.”
It came as Goss.ie revealed their latest Motown album was a flop in Ireland, getting them their lowest placing ever.

And Louis said: “Motown? I mean to do Motown you have to be amazing singers and I don’t know whose idea that was but it was the worst idea in the world, it really was.
“Boyzone cannot do Motown, next thing they will be doing Irish Republican songs. it’s time to go out and go out with a little bit of dignity.”
The Mayo man added to the Irish Mirror: “They haven’t really had a hit record since I left if I’m honest.”
