They continued: 'It's a gamechanger that has the potential to put the city in the spotlight like never before and generate a buzz and publicity that will shine a bright light on Chorley.

'Ronan, Shane and Keith were bursting with excitement. Boyzone's presence at next Saturday's match will undoubtedly create an electric atmosphere, filled with music, joy and a shared love of football and community.

“Chorley FC is a 140-year-old club and Chorley is a great city in a great location, perfect for Boyzone.”

The Irish group formed in 1993 and officially broke up in 2000, but have had numerous reunions since.

Original five-member member Stephen Gateley died in 2009 from complications from a congenital heart defect he didn't know he had.

In addition to buying the club, Boyzone is also reportedly preparing for a series of shows across the country.

In 2018, Boyzone said they were splitting up for good after releasing a final album dedicated to late bandmate Stephen Gately.

The band promised that they would call it quits after their 25th anniversary tour and album that year.
