Boyzone member Stephen Gately died on Saturday (October 10) while on holiday in Majorca with his boyfriend Andrew, the band announced on their official website.
Little is known about the 33-year-old’s death, with Ronan Keating and the band writing that he “tragically died” and “the rest of the boyz will be flying out today.”
Their manager Louis Walsh told the News of the World that, “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.
He added, “I only heard after The X Factor and we will rally around each other this week. He was a great man.”
