After returning to the spotlight in 2025, Mikey Graham has once again made headlines following his on-stage appearance with Boyzone in London.

The singer stepped back from showbiz after the group originally split and remained largely out of the public eye for years, until appearing in the band’s documentary No Matter What, where it was revealed that he had not spoken to his bandmates for five years.

Since then, fans have wondered about his life away from the group, and here’s everything we know:

Career

After his time with Boyzone wrapped up, Mikey Graham turned his attention to solo music projects, though he never reached the same level of success he achieved with the group.

He did manage to reach number 13 in the UK charts with his debut single You’re My Angel, taken from the album Meet Me Halfway, but was unable to replicate that early momentum with later releases.

In 2010, he entered the race to represent Ireland at Eurovision, but ultimately missed out after being beaten by Niamh Kavanagh.

Next up, Mikey turned his hand to reality TV and a stint on Dancing on Ice in 2010, which he admits became a form of therapy for him as he came to terms with the death of Stephen Gately, who had previously appeared on the show.

‘This has really acted like a life raft… to get myself really focused on the skating helps me get my mind off it,’ he told the Irish Independent at the time.

Mikey followed up his time on the ice with an appearance on Celebrity Apprentice in 2013. He’s also credited with appearing in minor roles in several cult films over the years and works as a record producer.

Mikey appears to have devoted much of his time to his family life since his Boyzone days.

He met dancer Karen Corrad when she joined one of Boyzone’s tours in 1998, and romance blossomed. The couple kept their romance out of the spotlight and made things official when they tied the knot in Dublin’s Pro Cathedral in 2004, with Gary Barlow and Gareth Gates in attendance.

Mikey has a daughter, Hannah, from his previous relationship with Sharon Keane, while he and Karen welcomed their daughter, Sienna Nicole, in 2006.

The couple remained together for two decades before Mikey announced that they had divorced in 2024, sharing that it had left him ‘badly wounded’. He hasn’t given up on finding love, however.

The Mirror quotes him as saying: “In response to some of the DMs I have received, I divorced last April.” He added: “Thank you, I’m very badly wounded at this point, but I won’t give up on love.”

Mikey was also delighted to become a grandfather in 2022 when his daughter Hannah welcomed a baby girl. At the time, he said: “Thankfully, life has been nothing but wonderful to me the last three weeks since the birth of my absolutely stunningly beautiful granddaughter Bonnie.

“My eldest daughter Hannah brought her into the world on 2 February, and all is well.”

Personal struggles and tragedies

In No Matter What, it emerged that Mikey struggled with depression when he was dropped as the lead singer of Boyzone and turned to alcohol to cope.

He was also hoping to contribute more musically, but faced pushback from the record company.

Mikey explained: ‘In the loss of ambition, high-spiritedness, vitality… when that left me, a lot of things left me. My interest in my own appearance.

‘I didn’t drink until I turned about 24 when I was introduced to Jack Daniel’s and Coca-Cola, and that became the thing that kind of got me through the next few years… the sadness, the disenchantment.

‘I was very frustrated, angry, and depressed, and because of all of that, I would withdraw from the band.’

He didn’t step away from the group due to family commitments. In 2011, he was involved in a home incident in which student Paul O’Hara was left hospitalised. O’Hara alleged the singer struck him with a cricket bat after he came to his home and repeatedly rang the doorbell. Mikey Graham was later cleared of any criminal wrongdoing, but he told the Irish Daily Mail the experience left him “traumatised.”

He also suffered a personal loss in 2017 when his mother, Sheila, died from an inoperable brain bleed.

“I knew this was it as I drove to the hospital,” he told The Sun, adding: “That it was the end. It was such a strong feeling.”

Makeover

In February 2026, Mikey stunned fans by revealing he’d lost three stone by using weight-loss drugs to prepare for Boyzone’s reunion tour in June.

‘It’s been a very difficult last few years, but that’s life, and we all have our problems, but I’m climbing back up the ladder of life.

‘As you know, I put on a lot of weight, but I’ve lost 3 stone with the help of Mounjaro. To look my best for you on stage. I got caught out in that comfort eating situation. But that’s how things go. I’m only human after all,’ he told fans.
