Shane Lynch: 'I felt lonely in Boyzone. Even though I had everything money could buy'

Irish singer Shane Lynch has revealed he felt ‘lonely’ while he was in Boyzone, despite having everything he ever dreamed of.

The Dublin star admitted that although he had a posh house and expensive cars, he was feeling bad about himself.

“I hated all the derogatory comments that being in a boy band attracted and, as time went on, I got down on the world, and became angry and violent,” he said.

“I had a £1m house, a Mercedes, a Porsche – everything money could buy – but I wasn’t happy.”

“Even when I was standing on stage in front of 20,000 people, I felt acutely lonely,” he told Surrey Life.

“It was the weirdest feeling. I loved the four guys in the band, but I lost respect for myself.”

The boyband star added that his rise to fame was so fast, and he wishes Boyzone had been guided better.

“I remember fans nearly knocking in our car windows and jumping under the wheels of our tour bus to stop it moving.

“When I was catapulted into that world at 18, I didn’t know what to expect. I wish we had been guided more professionally,” he said.

Meanwhile despite their worldwide fame, Shane insisted the band never took drugs.

“Thankfully, we boys were very much into our beer. Besides, we had to get to bed because there was always a plane to catch the next morning,” he said.
