Duffy states in the trailer, "The invasion of the tabloids was damaging," reflecting on how Stephen Gately was cruelly outed by media pressure. His description of the incident as "absolutely scandalous" underscores the persistent hostility faced by LGBTQ+ individuals at the time, particularly in the public eye.
Louis Walsh, in a contrasting remark, says with a smile, "It got the front page," indicating a troubling normalization of exploiting personal tragedies for tabloid success, highlighting the stark divide in reactions to Gately's situation within the media and music industry.
Ronan Keating is visibly shaken in the documentary, recalling the moment he learned of Gately's death: "I called the guys and give them the news," pointing to the deep personal connections and pain experienced within the band following such a tragic loss. This emotional response illustrates the effects of fame on personal relationships.
The documentary trailer hints at the complex dynamics within Boyzone, as it addresses how "conflict and rivalry, betrayal and tragedy" simultaneously fueled their rise and led to their eventual disbandment, showcasing the darker side of fame and success.
