RIP STEPHEN GATELY (1976-2009)

 

BOYZONE singer Stephen Gately has been found dead on a Spanish Island.

A message posted to the band's tour website this morning states Stephen "tragically died yesterday whilst on holiday with his partner Andrew in Majorca."                                          

The rest of the band - Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy, Shane Lynch and Mikey Graham - will fly to the island today.
                                                                                    

Stephen and his partner Andrew Cowels had been taking time off after Boyzone announced their comeback tour last November.                                        

The Irish singer, 33, fell asleep after returning to his holiday accommodation from a night out and didn't wake up.

Thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family.
