It’s reported that the December release of Boyzone’s next album has been cancelled, in order to allow singer Ronan Keating space to sort out his private life.

The album was due out before Crimbo to promote their 2011 tour, but as a source told the Daily Star:

“Plans for a new Boyzone album at the end of the year have been shelved so that Ronan has time to concentrate on his private life.

“He’s not in the right head space to think about recording, so unless he feels up to it there won’t be another record before the 2011 arena tour.”

The band have also decided not to release any more tracks from their current ‘Brother’ LP.
