RONAN KEATING, prinsiple vocalist and songwriter of Boyzone, is as succesful as they come. But for the moment, personal relationships are out of the question.

"I have a lot of friends around the world, so that when I get to a city, we meet up but I don't have staeady relationships with anybody," the blond pop star says.

"It's not possible for me. I'm never there. It wouldn't be fair on me because I'd miss her, and it wouldn't be fair on her because she'd miss me."

Certainly, the boys's hectic schedule makes it rather difficult, with only a few breaks among all tours and promotionslined up this year.

The pressure is enormous, of course. After all, Ronan was onlt 16 when he joined Boyzone.

"It was an extreme change coming from school to this. I'm 19 now, and I've traveled the world, I'm having a great time , and I'll continue, praise God, to have a great time."

As for the pressure, Ronan speaks for the rest of the boys. "We all learn to deal with it very well, thank God. We stick together, we keep our feet on the ground and we are not big headed in any way, thinking we;re anything special." he says.

Ronan however, doen't speak for the others when it comes to relationships. Some of the boys, young as they are, already have families and a child. Wow! So how do they cope? "They cope very well. Obviously its hard, they want to get home and see their babies, but they understand that this is their life, they chose it and they live it to their best ability. And when they have time off, they go straight home and see their babies." Ronan explains.

Ronan himself would never comment on the other's lifestyle or even give anyone advice because, as he says, he always listen to advice.

"I'm only learning. What I have learned is that you must be able to find your smile, to enjoy yourself. You have to know where work is and where play is, and when to laugh and when to be serious. Just choose a career that you're happy in, choose surroundings in which you're happy in and then everything else will fit.Once you're happy everything else will fit into place"

Wise words from one so young....
