Ronan Keating recently shared his thoughts on New Year’s resolutions and his upcoming New Year’s Eve show. He believes in making changes immediately, rather than postponing them. “If I’ve got to make changes, I make them now,” he stated, reflecting on his personal and emotional journey.
Ronan’s Focus on Family
The singer emphasized the importance of spending quality time with loved ones. He mentioned that the past few years have been particularly challenging for him and his family. Tragedy struck in July 2023 when Keating’s elder brother, Ciaran, passed away in a car accident at 57. Ciaran was en route to watch his son, Ruairí, play for Cork City Football Club at the time of the incident.
“Now, keeping the family together is more important than ever for me,” Keating remarked. This personal loss has influenced how he approaches the New Year, reminding him of the significance of family bonds.
