IRISH heartthrob Ronan Keating is bringing his new tour to Dorset.

The Boyzone singer turned solo star's Time of my Life tour is at the Bournemouth International Centre on Saturday October 1.

Ronan takes to the road, touring his tenth studio album, aptly entitled Time Of My Life, which will be released on Friday.

He said: “This is the music I’ve always wanted to make. This is who I am and it feels absolutely right.

"To go out with all this new material, and playing guitar, will be so exciting. These songs were written for live performance."

Twenty two years of making music have resulted in an impressive tally of achievements, including 40 million album sales with Boyzone, 22 million copies sold of nine solo albums, three solo number one singles and an Ivor Novello award for Picture of You (1997).
