好Shocking的News……Boyzones，年輕時一度喜歡的樂隊，Stephen也是蠻佩服的一個人，openly gay。可惜了，樂隊重組是沒希望了。
Boyzone singer Stephen Gately has been found dead at the age of 33, it was reported today.
Gately was believed to have been holidaying in Majorca when he died yesterday, according to a newspaper.
A friend of Gately's told the newspaper: "It looks like he went out for a few drinks, then got back, fell asleep and never woke up."
Boyzone manager Louis Walsh told the News of the World: "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."
All four remaining members of Boyzone - Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy, Shane Lynch and Mikey Graham - will be flying to Palma, Majorca tomorrow.
Boyzone star Shane Lynch told the News of the World: "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."
Ronan Keating, who is in Chicago, has been left devastated by the death of his close friend. A pal revealed to the newspaper: "Ronan is completely distraught. No-one saw this coming.
"He loved Stephen like a brother, they were so close, it's absolutely floored him.
"It's a massive shock to everyone and no one can take it in yet.
"He was a man in the prime of his life, and this is a huge tragedy."
Gay singer Gately's coming out ten years ago caused a sensation in the pop music world. He leaves a husband Andrew Cowles, who he married in a civil union in March, 2006.
Gately also became a star of theatre, TV and radio, appearing in the West End as Joseph in and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and in the ITV show Dancing on Ice.
Boyzone had 17 top five singles and four number one albums before splitting in 2000. They made a comeback tour in 2007, however their recent 19-date Better tour was deemed a flop as the band played to half-filled arenas.
A statement on Boyzone's official website confirmed the Irish singer's death.
It said: "Stephen tragically died yesterday whilst on holiday with his partner Andrew in Majorca.
"The rest of the boyz will be flying out today."
