Strings Attached, the debut album by Boyzlife, featured 9 UK Number 1 songs from Boyzone and Westlife, performed by Keith, Brian and accompanied by the world famous Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in London.
The band’s debut record was released in July 2020, topping both the UK & Ireland’s iTunes and Amazon music charts immediately, the album charted at number 12 in the UK Official Album Chart.
30m records sold
The hit making duo will also perform many of their greatest hits, from a catalogue which includes a record breaking 18 No 1 singles and nine No 1 albums – plus combined record sales of more than 30 million.
In between last year’s tour dates Boyzlife have been busy in the studio writing and creating new music.
Brian said: “Keith and I grew up in the Eighties and Nineties. The sound of that era is what made us want to be musicians in the first place.
“When we first started talking about making this record as Boyzlife’s first studio album, we naturally talked about those influences a lot and have loved bringing these familiar sounds into our studio sessions and onto this record, and cannot wait to take those songs live.”
Get tickets for Boyzlife this Friday from noon at the Barbican website.
