Boyzone Star Stephen Gately Dies R.I.P – 1976-2009

I have just heard the sad news that Boyzone star Stephen Gately has died at the very young age of 33, the News of the World is reporting.

The singer was on holiday in Majorca with his his long-term partner Andrew Cowles, according to reports.

Boyzone manager Louis Walsh said: “We’re all absolutely devastated. I’m in complete shock. I was with him on Monday at an awards ceremony. We don’t know much about what’s happened yet… He was a great man.”

I had the pleasure of knowing Stephen on and off for many years and hold fond memories of him.
