As of yet, the cause of death has not been mentioned, but Stephen Gately of Boyzone fame has died at the age of 33 while on holiday in Menorca. The Irish pop star and actor was on holiday with his civil partner, Andrew Cowles, when he died yesterday, according to the bands website. It said the four remaining members of the band would be flying out to the Spanish island today.
I’m a huge fan of the old bands from the 90’s, I was so happy when Take That reunited and I loved Boyzone too (if anyone who know’s me is even remotely suprised considering the songs on my phone, shame on you!)
It’s a shame to see a good artist die and it will severly reduce the impact of Boyzone – although as long as they don’t do the Pussycat dolls things of a replacement every few months, I’m sure they’ll go on.
