Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy and Shane Lynch delighted Boyzone fans on Monday night as they reunited at the The Roundhouse for the premiere of their new docuseries.
Boyzone: No Matter What features never-before-seen footage of manager Louis Walsh and members, Ronan, Keith Duffy, Shane, Mikey Graham, and the late Stephen Gately, as well as interviews with those closest to the group.
And the boys looked delighted to see each other on the red carpet, with Ronan, 47, and Shane, 48, sharing a warm embrace on arrival.
The two singers broke into laughter as they wrapped their arms around each other, before joining bandmate Keith to pose for photos and speak to the press.
But former member Mikey, 52, was absent from the reunion, after growing tired of the 'toxic' music industry and leaving it behind to live in rural Ireland.
The star - referred to as 'The Quiet One' during his time in Boyzone - has revealed he hasn't spoke to his former bandmates since their final show, five years ago and admitted in the docuseries, he doesn't wish to ever go back.

Ronan looked handsome for the premiere, wearing a pair of smart black trousers and a matching long tailored coat over of brown button-up cardigan.
The radio presenter added shiny black shoes with a gold detail and gave his look a more casual touch with a white vest underneath and a number of layered chain necklaces.
Shane kept things simple with an all black outfit, wearing smart trousers and coordinating leather boots.
He teamed it with a classic black collared shirt, which he left partially unbuttoned with the sleeves rolled up to flash a glimpse of his impressive collection of tattoos.
While Keith, 50, commanded attention on the red carpet in a red animal print shirt covered in sparkly sequins.
He added to his eye-catching ensemble with a pair of black skinny trousers adorned with a silver chain belt and gold patterned lace-up boots.
Keith finished his bold look with a tuxedo jacket, a skull pendant necklace and a pair of orange-tinted aviator shades.
With six No.1 UK singles, five top albums and more than 25million records sold across the globe, Boyzone were second only to Take That as the boy-band phenomenon took hold in the mid-Nineties.

Their three-part documentary is set to air on Sky Documentaries and NOW on February 2 and gives fans a look at the 'fame, fall-outs and tragedy' of the Irish band, who formed in 1993 before splitting seven years later.
In the series, Mikey speaks about his decision to walk away from the glitz and the glamour of being in the band.
The group last toured in 2019, continuing as a four-piece after the heartbreaking death of Stephen in October 2009, after he died suddenly aged 33, from pulmonary oedema resulting from an undiagnosed heart condition.
Tensions began to flare up within the group, with Ronan and Mikey irritated by the party lifestyle of Shane and Keith, who they didn't believe were taking the shows seriously.
Ronan revealed: 'They had been out all day, drinking all day and it was messy', as Keith confessed: 'We'd certainly partied a little harder than we usually did - it was the end of the road.'
Things came to a head on their final tour, and the band found themselves embroiled in several arguments, the worst of which took place between Keith and Mikey in their dressing room.
Keith refused to touch on the details, simply saying: 'There were things that had happened that were cruel and I'm not going to express any more than that.'
Mikey added: 'I just wanted to get out and get away from that toxic environment'.

While the group finished the tour - for the first time in separate dressing rooms - things haven't been the same since.
Ronan had previously explained he hadn't spoken to Mikey in years, with Mikey himself admitting he didn't want to 'waste my future looking back at my past.'
He said: 'I haven't seen anybody since that night [last show]'. I wish them all the best, no grudges, no animosity, nothing, however I don't want to go back to how I felt for many years.
'To see them, if it were for too long, would remind me of that and my future is far too important for me to waste it looking back at my past.'
Boyzone: No Matter What airs Sunday 2 February on Sky Documentaries and streaming service NOW.
