Black Kitten Posted October 11, 2009 at 01:37 PM Posted October 11, 2009 at 01:37 PM http://showbizandstyle.inquirer.net/breaki...y-dies-in-Spain Boyzone singer Gateley dies in SpainAgence France-PresseFirst Posted 19:32:00 10/11/2009 MADRID - Boyzone singer Stephen Gately, 33, died on Saturday while on holiday in Majorca off the coast of Spain, the Irish band said on its website. "Stephen tragically died yesterday whilst on holiday with his partner Andrew in Majorca," the site said on Sunday. The Boyzone members, including lead singer Ronan Keating, were heading to Majorca following news of the death. The circumstances surrounding Gately's death remained unclear but (Britain's) News of the World newspaper reported he died after a night out. Boyzone manager Louis Walsh told the newspaper: "We're all absolutely devastated." He said: "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... He was a great man." Speaking to the newspaper late Saturday, band member Shane Lynch said: "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." Gately, who married his partner Andrew Cowles in a civil union in 2006, sent ripples through the pop music world 10 years ago when he announced that he was gay. He joined Boyzone in 1993 after answering an advert in Dublin to audition for Ireland's first boyband. The band went on to enjoy huge success with six number one singles in Britain, but split up in 2000. They reunited seven years later, but their recent 19-date Better tour failed to fill stadiums, despite offers of free tickets. Gately also starred in West End musicals in London, including "Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat". He last posted a message on his Twitter page on October 6, writing: "Still busy, lots going on. Focusing on finishing my book next so may be quiet here." British actor and comedian Stephen Fry said on Twitter that he was shocked at the news. "Just heard the very sad news about dear Stephen Gately. What a dreadful shock. He was loveable and sweet natured and will be hugely missed." ================================= :cry: Quote

celine4evauk Posted October 13, 2009 at 08:58 PM Posted October 13, 2009 at 08:58 PM Its really sad - he was too young.What really upsets me is the rumour ( and it is just that) going round that Stephen's husband was in bed with the other bloke while poor Stephen was dying. If that's true, well, don't know what to say really. Quote

Céline's Blues Posted October 18, 2009 at 05:27 PM Posted October 18, 2009 at 05:27 PM The problem with his death is that everybody knows HOW it happened but nobody wants to say. Yes, it's sad that he died but let me tell you: You DON'T go to Mallorca to play cards. You go there to party and have what not with as many persons as possible. It's so evident yet just Jon Moir from the Daily Mail had the guts to speak it out loudly. Quote http://i.imgur.com/dmreJ.jpg
CelineRules! Posted October 18, 2009 at 07:18 PM Posted October 18, 2009 at 07:18 PM (edited) Ronan's speech was so touching. Broke my heart when he started crying Edited October 18, 2009 at 07:19 PM by CelineRules! Quote
celine4evauk Posted October 19, 2009 at 06:22 PM Posted October 19, 2009 at 06:22 PM Ronan's speech was so touching. Broke my heart when he started crying I cried buckets watching the funeral on saturday. Especially when Ronan's voice cracked during his eulogy, but also when they were carrying the coffin out and Mikey was crying. Then Ronan kept his hand on the coffin until they closed the boot of the hearse. It was a lovely service, but heartbreaking it had to happen at all! Quote
