Keith Duffy the Boyzlife star looks almost unrecognisable with his near shoulder-length hairstyle. Keith shared a snap of his “covid hair” on Saturday, and promised to shave it all off as soon as restrictions end. He wrote: “Covid hair ! Once this sh**e ends I’ll shave me head. Until then Locks grow and grow #Samson”. Pre-pandemic, Keith travels the world as a singer with Boyzone as well as his successful boyband spin-off with Brian McFadden, Boyzlife, but he and wife Lisa decided to continue to base their family life here in Ireland. However he and wife Lisa have made the conscious decision to stay in Ireland with their two kids; Jay, aged 24, and 20 year old Mia. He said: "My daughter Mia is autistic and was going to a brilliant education facility here so we stayed in Ireland. It meant I've hardly been home, though, and that's put a strain on everyone. I'd only get back every few weeks, and now the kids are older with their own lives I hardly saw them. "I know some people have been having an awful time, but for me this has been a godsend. I've been having dinner with my family, playing board games. This is not a life I had before.
