Boyzone’s Mikey Graham is reported to have spent limited time with his bandmates after he joined the group for their farewell gigs in London last weekend.
The singer, 53, reunited with his bandmates for the first time in nearly seven years at London’s Emirates Stadium for One For The Road: Live.
However, fans were left confused as Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy and Shane Lynch opened the show with Mikey nowhere to be seen.
He then later appeared on stage to sing Words and two other songs, before coming on for the encore, Life Is A Rollercoaster.
And now it has been revealed that Mikey is reportedly still struggling with his ‘divorce trauma’ from the band.
‘Mikey was only seen going straight from his dressing room to the stage and then straight back again. Aside from Mikey, the other three men are all very close.
Boyzone’s Mikey Graham reportedly ran from the dressing room to the stage at reunion show amid his long-standing struggles in the band
‘Mikey’s ‘divorce’ trauma from the band is an ongoing struggle and he finds it difficult being around the others because of the negative feelings it triggers from his past,’ the source told The Sun.
They added: ‘It’s definitely the end of an era because all four of them won’t reform, no matter what – excuse the pun.’
The Daily Mail have contacted Mikey’s representatives for comment.
It comes after Mikey accused RTE presenter Kieran Cuddihy of ‘insulting his daughter’ after he asked her about backlash to his Boyzone reunion performance in a recent interview.
Following his performance, Mikey’s daughter Sienna appeared on RTE Radio 1 where host Kieran asked her: ‘How have you all dealt with, is backlash the right word? Some of the negative reviews.’
While Sienna calmly batted off any negativity and insisted she is ‘so proud’ of her dad, Mikey was left unimpressed by Kieran’s questioning and took to Twitter to make his feelings known.
In an angry tweet he penned: ‘Woe is not me. I’m a quiet private man but when a stupid and cruel excuse of a so called talk show host tries to insult my daughter on live radio about her father you better be ready for backlash from me!
‘You’re no kind of man at all to ask that question to a young girl!’

Mikey went on to share a video from the London show, in which the crowd could be heard cheering and singing as he asked: ‘I was told there was apparently some backlash mentioned on Irish radio. I can’t see any there, can you?’
He added: ‘Shame on RTE NATIONAL IRISH RADIO. Try to kick a guy when he’s down!’
In response to Mikey’s comments, an RTÉ spokesperson told RSVP Live: ‘Mikey Graham’s daughter Sienna appeared on Wednesday’s Liveline and was received with respect and empathy during her interview
‘For context, Sienna was asked about how it felt watching the band on stage again and then about the negative publicity Boyzone had received after their reunion in London.
‘Edward Grimes of Jedward appeared on the programme on Monday of the same week, defending the band against the negative reviews.’
The Daily Mail have contacted Mikey’s representatives for further comment.
In her interview on Wednesday, Sienna insisted that ‘no one knows what it took’ for Mikey to perform in the band’s reunion shows, after he was cruelly trolled for his appearance.
When he eventually appeared, Mikey was raised from the stage floor and stayed seated during the three songs he appeared on before standing up for the encore of Ronan’s 2000 solo track Life Is A Rollercoaster.
Social media was flooded with questions over his involvement and looks – leading to a wave of supporters who recalled his vow to never return to the band amid depression, alcoholism and weight battles in 2025 doc Boyzone: No Matter What.
