Shane Lynch 'The Chancer' ...

The book every Boyzone Fan couldn't wait to get their hands on. Shane finally released his autobiography in early spring 2008; and it certainly lived up to the hype. If you haven't got yourself a copy yet, then jump over to our shop now.

Kicked out of school at the age of fourteen, Shane Lynch didn't have a grand plan. No burning ambitions. He just took life as it came, surviving on his boyish charm and gift of the blag. So when a friend asked him how he felt about forming a boy band he thought 'Sure, why not?' He didn't sing, he didn't play an instrument, but, hey, so what? He'd make it up as he went along. He was a survivor. But when The Boyzone phenomenon finally took off, Shane soon started to kick against the manic world he found himself hurled into. Relentless media pressure, a dangerous foray into the occultm his marriage breakdown and the eventual band split too their toll on a man who could never quite get to grips with what all the fuss was about. This is Shane Lynch's own compelling and remarkably frank account of the schoolboy failure who achieved fame and fortune beyond his wildest dreams - and ended up anrgy, disillusioned, empty and alone. Then someone told him about God and, little by little, his new faith helped put the shattered pieces of his life back together.
