Stephen Gately has died age 33.
Stephen Gately 1976-2009
Sun, 11/10/2009 - 07:26 by Mr. HMBoyzone singer Stephen Gately has died whilst on holiday in Majorca with his husband. He was 33.
The cause of his death is as yet unknown. A friend told News Of The World:
"It looks like he went out for a few drinks, then got back, fell asleep and never woke up,"
Louis Walsh, who had the news held back until after last night's X Factor live show had finished said:
"We're all absolutely devastated. 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. I only heard after The X Factor and we will rally around each other this week. He was a great man."
His fellow band members are flying out to Palma. Mallorca tomorrow to offer theor help and support.
Gately, who with Boyzone had six number ones, leaves behind his husband, Andrew Cowles who he married in a civil ceremony in 2006. He was one of the first pop stars to openly declare himself gay in The Sun (and also to be the first to be pretty much blackmailed into doing so - "We're going to out you tomorrow whether you lie it or not - do you have any comment?").
Whatever you think about Boyzone/Gately/The music they made - 33 is far too young for anyone to die.

"hOPe youR (sic) readin this StePHen". He's not, love, he's dead. And even if he was alive, he'd quickly lose the will to live after scrolling through 10,000 illiterate scrawlings on Facebook. "youR (sic) in a Betta PlacE". Yes, away from cunts like you. Stiffs can't use the internet, people. FACT.
KEVIN GREENING'S DEAD???? WHY WASN'T I TOLD?
RIP Kevin Greening...you were a mediocrity but I'd vaguely heard of you so I'm devastated.
OH and RIP Stephen. I never liked or bought your music but you were a celebrity so your death is much sadder than say...any other 33 year old's death. Oh...no it isn't. Very sad for his family, friends etc but don't be OTT about it people. Anyone taking time to say RIP ONLINE obviously isn't that devastated so grow up you bunch of Princess Di loving tossers.
FFS NO OUTING. I thought that was your personal files anyway?
*twirls*
(placeholder for dead bummer joke)
Your insight is incredible however, you remain a ginger (with cats).
You go on ahead and take it as a 'yes', chummy. And I'll assume you are some tubby, brass-band majorette with frilly socks and Shirley Temple ringlets. In't internet great?
I'll take that as a 'yes'.
Oh why don't you knit yourself a new login, Spastic?
Are you ginger?
merylhighground's posts get up my fucking nose. That quasi-flirtatious, overly self-aware schtick - it winds me right up. It's like she types in 'smirk'. Sad about the dead person, etc.
So it seems he was...
"He can't have been that popular, I can get onto Sickipedia!"

It was on loan...
Last seen in a bio-hazard evidence bag being submitted as evidence at the Old Bailey. I haven't the heart to ask for it back.
That swift leap to self-defence tells us everything we need to know Spastic. It was a lovely gimp suit he was in though. Could easily have been one of yours
Don't bring that crap on here Meryl trying to taint me. Sure I was arrested, but later released after interview. I was never charged with anything. Can we just drop this please.
Reminds me of when Kevin Greening's agent hurriedly announced he'd 'died peacefully in his sleep', when actually he'd died not very peacefully at all chock full of drugs suspended from a harness with a butternut squash up his arse.
First Death, then Louis Walsh.
My immediate reaction as well . . . .
what a bummer :(
Drugs.
What? Don't look at me like that. You know it's true.
RIP Stephen, such sad news.
And he was not a British popstar.
all those wankers on facebook have started their insincere RIP status & rememberance groups,,,,,predictable cunts
The Sun - a paper by cunts for cunts. ""We're going to out you tomorrow whether you like it or not..." Come on Al-Qaeda, you must have their fucking postcode by now...
Gay marriage doesn't seem all its cracked up to be.
