Stephen Gately died at the age of 33
Boyzone member Stephen Gately died at the age of 33 last October 10, 2009 in Majorca. It has been said that Stephen went to sleep after a night out with his partner Andrew Cowles but failed to wake up in the morning.
A message on the band’s official website confirmed Gately’s death:
“Stephen tragically died whilst on holiday in Majorca yesterday.
“He was there with his partner Andrew.
“At present we don’t have too many details. The rest of the boyz will be travelling to Majorca later this morning.”
Just last year Boyzone had re-formed for a comeback tour. The four remaining members of Boyzone described Gately as “our friend and brother”.
The fourth of five children, Stephen Patrick David Gately was born in Dublin on March 17 1976, St Patrick’s Day.
Gately’s last Twitter post, 6 October says: “Still busy – lots going on. Focussing on finishing my book next so may be quiet here“
