I keep thinking about @MRMIKEYGRAHAM from Boyzone.

When the documentary came out, I remember seeing the pain in his eyes. It was a look I recognised straight away. The kind of pain that doesn’t need words.

For some reason, I felt compelled to reach out to him. He didn’t know me from Adam, yet he took the time to reply. That small act of kindness has always stayed with me.

I’ve seen some of the photos and clips from the Boyzone shows this weekend, and it genuinely made me smile to see him getting his moment. His light. His stage.

Maybe I’m wrong, but I still see that same pain in his eyes at times. Mikey has spoken openly about his mental health struggles, and I really hope these shows have brought him something positive. Some closure. Some peace. Maybe even the chance to finally move forward carrying a little less weight than before.

The truth is, I’m not even a massive Boyzone fan. Yet I’ve always found myself rooting for him.

What I do know is this. The comments about his appearance, his weight, or whether he “looked the part” completely miss the point.

Getting on that stage at all took courage.

Standing in front of thousands of people when you’ve openly battled your mental health is no small thing. It doesn’t matter whether it was three songs or thirty. Sometimes just showing up is the victory.

That deserves respect, not criticism.

I doubt he’ll ever see this, and he certainly doesn’t need me defending him. But people who carry their struggles publicly while still finding the strength to keep going deserve a bit more kindness from the rest of us.

Well done, Mikey. I think a lot of people are quietly proud of you.

Right.

Fuck this.

I’m back off to the 80’s.

Yes, there were terrible things, but ANYTHING is is better than this lunacy…

Who’s coming?

Before this song came out in 1987, people thought the Bee Gees were finished. Then they put out this absolute classic. I think it's one of their best songs.

Wow ❤️😢😢😢

@iam_jlc @iam_jlc I’ve loved you since the Strictly spin off shows, The Games & Bring back but this is nonsense (with the greatest of respect). Cheers, Minder, Jamie & magic torch clearly rank higher. Love you
