Billie Rae slams minimum wage amid dads success

Shane Lynch's daughter, Billie Rae, has complained about working a minimum-wage job while her famous father sells out stadiums on his band's farewell tour.

The daughter of the star, 17, took to this week to highlight the contrast, sharing a clip of herself dancing around her house for her 16,000 followers.

She captioned the post: 'The concept of my dad selling out 2 shows at emirates stadium this summer yet I'm working a minimum wage job.' 

Last year, Boyzone  

The stadium shows will mark the band's reunion for their first performance together since 2019. 

The Irish 90s boyband sent fans into a frenzy after making the revelation on Radio 2 in September last year. 

Co-leader singer Ronan Keating revealed the band group will 'try' and reunite in 2026 after the acclaimed success of their recent documentary.

The much-loved pop group rose to fame in 1993, formed by Ronan, 48, alongside Keith Duffy, Mikey Graham, Shane Lynch and Stephen Gately - who died in 2009 at the age of 33.

Chatting to Scott Mills on the Breakfast Show, Ronan said the response to the four-part Sky documentary Boyzone: No Matter What, released last year in February, had prompted fresh discussions about the group's future.

He said: 'The reaction was unbelievable, so we've obviously been talking about our story for the last 30 years, and we felt like that was kind of it, that maybe that was the end of the story.'

'And well, we've all been chatting over the last few weeks, and I think 2026 might be a year for Boyzone to maybe try and do something.'

As if it wasn't enough to send fans into overdrive, the band took to their Instagram page, posting a grid of pictures of themselves, captioning: 'the journey continues', encouraging fans to sign up to a mailing list.

Boyzone first split after seven years together in 2000 to pursue solo careers, but eventually reunited in 2007. 

They toured the world with their Thank You And Goodnight farewell shows between 2018 and 2019.

Asked by Scott Mills how his bandmates were doing, Ronan said: 'They're really great… after the documentary, the reaction was crazy, it was unbelievable, honestly, even people that weren't fans of Boyzone were contacting me saying, 'I had no idea'.

Speaking about the reach of their documentary, he added: 'British Airways had it on the plane (to England) in the documentary section, and somebody was watching it next to me, and it was really awkward, I had to put a blanket over my head.'

For disillusioned founding member Mikey, the band's chart-topping glory days are best left in the past. 

In their three-part Sky Documentaries series, he admitted he grew tired of the music industry before walking away for good. 

Now 52 years old, Graham lives a nomadic existence in rural Ireland, a life far removed from the glitz, glamour and relentless globetrotting of his youth.

'I just wanted out,' he admitted in No Matter What. 'And to get away from that toxic environment.' 

Former band-mate Ronan said that he hadn't .

Since its release, Boyzone: No Matter What  have had some very harsh words to say about manager Louis Walsh's treatment of band members Stephen and Mikey.
