The Brother Tour was the first tour by Irish boy band Boyzone following the death of Stephen Gately.
At first the band were uncertain about promoting Brother but due to the album's success they decided to go on tour. The act included their entire discography as well as the newer songs from the brother album. They promoted the tour on various television shows.[3] The band attempted to have a hologram of Stephen Gately but this wasn't possible.[4]
Keith Duffy fell through a trap door at the Cardiff show but he continued the performance. A subsequent check at the hospital revealed nothing broken.[5]
A Huge contribution to the background and lead vocals has come from backing vocalist Jo Garland who has sung with Ronan Keating in his solo ventures since 2001 and with Boyzone since 2008, her vocals have been more prominent often covering for vocals that Stephen Gately sung.
