Keating difficulties delays new Boyzone album

Ronan Keating’s affair has forced the next Boyzone album to be put on hold.

The 33-year-old Irish singer – who separated from his wife of 12 years Yvonne, 36, last week following her discovery he had been cheating on her with a backing dancer – has reportedly been given time off to concentrate on his private life, meaning plans for the band to record a new LP have been postponed until 2011.
