As a solo artist, Keating has clocked up a total of 14 UK top 10 singles as well as four UK Number One albums that sold nearly two and a half million copies worldwide. To date, Keating has released five solo albums, four of which went straight to number one in the UK. The singer has had two sold-out world tours, received Ivor Novello and BMI songwriting awards, published an autobiography, served as an ambassador for Christian Aid and sold in excess of 22 million albums across the globe.

Keating rejoined his Boyzone bandmates in 2008 on a 29-date reunion tour. Boyzone released their comeback single on 29 September 2008, entitled “Love You Anyway,” which was followed by a greatest hits album, released on 13 October 2008.
