THE SINGER STEPHEN GATELY HAS DIED.
Gately is best know as a member of Irish boy band Boyzone, who had 17 top five singles and four number one albums before splitting in 2000.
In 1999, Gately announced that he was gay. He married Andrew Cowles in 2006.
Further details of the recording artist's premature death have yet to emerge.
He was 33.
although I wasn't a Boyzone fan , its a sad loss of life for someone so young - enjoy life folks as you never know when it may end!
ReplyDeletei dont know him
ReplyDeleteThis is very sad news. I remember the electric thrill I received seeing Stephen look into the camera and sing "I can't be what I'm not". His coming out was well received and, I think, normalised homosexuality for a lot of young people at the time. I wish he could have gone on to live a longer happier life as a reward for that alone. Rest in peace, Stephen.
ReplyDeleteTo hear of his passing is scary to me.
ReplyDeleteThere are some who don't believe in psychics, but I have always admitted to having some degree of it. It especially hits me regarding the entertainment industry, which would explain why out of nowhere while on a NYC subway, and not listening to one of their songs on my MP3 player, I had a thought of Boyzone's recent comeback. And while I think they're all gorgeous, the only face I could see clearly was that of Stephen Gately.
