Ronan Keating

Ronan Keating has been a prominent figure in the world of music for almost 15 years, and is considered something of an elder statesman of pop.

Hard to believe, given he’s still only a wee baby man, but true nonetheless.

Ronan’s not one to sit on his laurels either - he has more golden memories than years on this mortal soil, including dueting with Elton John at Madison Square Garden, interviewing David Bowie on the web, hosting everything from Miss World and the Eurovision song contest to the MTV Awards, recording with Yusef Islam (Cat Stevens), writing an autobiography, travelling the world, guiding Westlife to stardom as their manager, being appointed as a UN Goodwill Ambassador, all amongst the hit singles and albums both as a solo artist and member of Boyzone.

There’s nothing quite like an over-achiever to make you take a long hard look at yourself. If Ronan Keating was anything less than a divine human being, it would be easy not to like him. Lucky for everyone he wins all round – as Rove will once again experience, live this week.
