KEY POINTS:
Re-formed Irish group Boyzone will tour Australia next year with a raunchy stage show that belies their innocent name.
The boyband famous for hits such as No Matter What and All That I Need, split up in 2000 to pursue solo interests after seven years together.
Boyzone re-formed last year with its five original members _ Ronan Keating, Mikey Graham, Stephen Gately, Shane Lynch and Keith Duffy.
The group flew into Australia on Friday night for a brief promotional tour (minus Graham who is suffering exhaustion), promising to return next August with a live show that will have the hearts of female fans racing.
"It's a very sexy show," Keating said. "We're aware that we're men now. We're not kids anymore and sex is what these bands are all about _ obviously, the music, but sex as well.
"We're more comfortable with our sex, our sexuality."
Lynch said: "We're allowed to push the barriers now."
The guys are all in their early to mid-30s now, and most are married with children.
