Stephen Gately October 11th, 2009

Stephen Gately from boyband Boyzone died on Saturday. Police have said there were no signs of suspicious circumstances.

The 33-year-old singer was on holiday in Majorca with his partner and reportedly died in his sleep after a night spent in local bars.

Boyzone were one of the most popular boybands on the 90s. Gately came out as gay in 1999, and married his partner Andrew Cowles in a civil partnership ceremony in 2006.

Boyzone manager Louis Walsh pulled out of Sunday’s X Factor TV show in order to travel to Majorca with the remaining four members of the band.

  • There have been so many sad/tragic stories in the news lately. The reports on Gately’s passing seem pretty vague in general, but there are (of course) a lot of rumors about it floating around
