Majorca, Spain (October 11, 2009)
Boyzone singer, Stephen Gately died while on holiday in Majorca off the coast of Spain.
"Stephen tragically died on Saturday while on holiday with his partner Andrew. The rest of the Boyz will be flying out today," the band said.
Gately, 33, became one of the first pop stars to come out, announcing in 1999 that he was gay and had a boyfriend, Andy Cowles.
Boyzone had a run of hits in the 1990's and reformed in 2007. They were to release a new album next year.
"It look like he went out for a few drinks, then he got back, fell asleep and never woke up," a friend of Gately was quoted as saying. (AGENCE FRANCE PRESSE/The Standard - HK)
