Stephen Gately dies at the age of 33

Gosh....He's not here anymore T_T



Boyzone star Stephen Gately has been found dead at the age of 33.

The singer fell asleep after a night out while on holiday in Majorca yesterday and never woke up.

Boyzone manager Louis Walsh told the News of the World: 'We're all absolutely devastated. I'm in complete shock. I was only with him on Monday at an awards ceremony. We don't know much about what's happened yet.

All four remaining members of Boyzone - Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy, Shane Lynch and Mikey Graham - will be flying to Palma, Majorca tomorrow.

Shane Lynch told the News of the World: 'Me and the boys are flying out in the morning. We just need to get over to where he's passed and work out what we need to do.'

Ronan Keating, who is in Chicago, is said to be completely devastated.

Gately came out as gay ten years ago - causing a sensation in the pop music world.

He wed Andrew Cowles, first in a commitment ceremony in Las Vegas in 2003 and more formally in a civil partnership ceremony in London in March 2006.

Gately enjoyed success as a solo artist. He was also a star of theatre, TV and radio, appearing in the West End as Joseph in and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and in the ITV show Dancing on Ice.

Boyzone had 17 top five singles and four number one albums before splitting in 2000. They made a comeback tour in 2007, inspired by the success of Take That.

A spokesman for Boyzone confirmed the death but details are yet to emerge.

I know, it's heartbreaking...

I found out through Mollie's (from The Saturdays) twitter. I didn't really listen to them, but the fact that he died so young while still successful is so sad....

I'll pray for his family. I can't imagine the pain they must feel.

It's always sad to hear about a death.

I saw this on TV this morning, it's so sad. He's only a year older than me, it's a bit scary to think he could die so suddenly

yeah & the scary thing's that he slept & the next day he was unable to wake up O_O

sounds like those mysterious sudden death cases to me , paranormal wise . He probably fell into that trap which's unfortunate

So sad. I'm not really a boyband fan, but my friend loves them and I went with her to the reunion tour last year which was a good show. They all looked so happy to be back together.

I thought their last single Love You Anyway was pretty decent.

Love Me For A Reason will always remind me of school discos.

I think people who're living in UK or listens to UK boybands will know of Boyzone

not so sure about people living in US though but still sigh

the worst thing's that I saw this piece of news on my local papers earlier on

There are rumours in UK media about an 8-hour drinking session, where he went to a club and went back to his apartment, continuing the drinking, but it's just rumours. Most of what I heard of him was that he was not known for heavy drinking/drugs etc. He seemed to keep out of the celebrity parties etc. and was not known to be involved with that type of lifestyle. There will be an autopsy done tomorrow, so why he died we won't know for a few days.

^ yeah it was even mentioned in Yahoo UK - http://uk.news.yahoo.com/5/20091012/...i-3fd0ae9.html

I don't know it really does sound o_O from the look of things but like what you said , hopefully after the autopsy's done , then it will be known what actually caused Stephen's death

Wow he just died like this?

R.I.P, and I hope his family, friends and fans pull through this... life is really transient. You could sleep and never wake up again...
