It’s been a few weeks since the 90s Revival brought you a new edition of ’retro news’…so here’s a quick round up.
Never Forget 
The music industry and 90s fans worldwide were dealt a huge blow when news broke of Steven Gately’s death in 2009. The Boyzone star will be missed by many, however the incredible era he was a part of during the nineties will live on. If you’re a fan of the Irish lads, you’ll be pleased to hear that ITV are broadcasting a one off music special in memory of Stephen Gately later this month.
During the hour long show, Boyzone will be performing a medley of their greatest hits, including; Love Me For A Reason, Picture of You, No Matter What, When the Going Gets Tough and their new single, Gave It All Away. The show will also feature a number of world stars paying tribute to Stephen, plus memories, stories, and documentary footage of Stephens early days before and during his time with Boyzone.
Boyzone: A Tribute to Stephen Gately can be seen on ITV1 this Sunday, 21st March, from 8:30PM.
Robbie & Take That Aren’t Back For Good…Just Yet.
Will they or won't they?
So much has been said, written and broadcast about the on / off collaboration between Robbie and his former band Take That. Will it ever get off the ground? We’d like to think so.
However the latest in this ongoing saga is that the much hyped reunion is now on hold whilst Mark Owen sorts out his private life. Apparently all five former bandmates started writing new material together in January.
Fingers crossed, once this blip is out of the way, we’ll finally get that dream comeback!
