Ronan makes-up with BoyzoneRonan Keating has made-up with Boyzone members, put his �1.5 million pound house in the K-club on the market without even moving into it.
Speaking exclusively to ShowBizIreland.com in Frankfurt during the MTV awards the singer confirmed that he his was selling up and that he has finally made his peace with the rest of Boyzone.
"I bought the house in the K-club and then bought another house in Malahide. But, I am putting the K-club house on the market if anyone is interested. I am still keeping my home in London because I still spent a lot of time there.
But, Malahide is my main home now and we have been there a few months and absolutely love it."
Speaking about the rest of Boyzone and their two-year feud Ronan confirmed that over the past two weeks himself and the other four members have made their peace at last.
"The truth is we had fallen out. But, then two weeks ago in the airport I was checking in and Keith came over and said hello and we made up. Then Shane and myself met up in London a few days later and we talked and made up. Then like out of nowhere Mikey called me on the mobile to say hi. So, I made the final move and called Stephen and we are all going to hook up for a drink. Boyzone are not touring or anything we are just going to be mates again."

Ronan flops in USRONAN KEATING has failed to crack America and is hurriedly recording a new album to keep British fans happy. Sources say the former BOYZONE star,whose previous band also failed to win over US audiences, has thrown in the towel about making it across the pond after single LOVIN EACH DAY sold just 25,000 copies in FIVE months.
The singer has parted company with American manager Rebecca Mostow and there have been crisis talks at his US label,interscope,after more than �2million was spent trying to launch Ronan in the States.
An interscope source said, "He went out there full of confidence but it just didn't happen." He was supposed to be in America for most of the summer but he came back early. "Sales of Lovin each day were disappointing to say the least and he will not go back next year,as planned. He is hurriedly recording an album for the UK because of the amount of time he has spent out of the country. His record company is worried about his profile because he has been away so long."
His new,as yet untitled album, will be out here next spring.
