Ronan Keating, Shane Lynch and Mikey Graham went ahead with Thursday’s show while Keith remained in hospital and it’s not yet known if he will re-join the band in time for their next show in Perth on Saturday. The rest of the group have already flown out to Australia but Keith’s wife Lisa is said to be with him in hospital. Ronan later told Magic Breakfast, “He took ill before the show, he just went on a downward spiral. “He came to the gig, he had a massive, really high temperature, the doctors arrived at the gig and they said it wasn’t possible for him to go on in the state he was in. “We really don’t know, we assumed it was food poisoning or something like that, but we don’t know. ‘There may be something else going on. We’re waiting to hear back on the blood tests and whether or not he can travel.” He added, “We’re hoping he can be on a plane tonight in Thailand and be here for the show tomorrow, fingers crossed.” Otherwise, the lads are hoping Keith will be well enough to make it to next Tuesday’s Adelaide show.
