Rest In Peace Stephen Gately

I know not everybody will probably know who he is, but he was a singer with Irish boyband Boyzone - and I've followed them since day one, and this morning it was announced he had died suddenly. Basically never woke up after a night out.

I loved Stephen - for me he had a voice of an angel, and I'm very upset by the news. So, just wanted to put it out there, that he, and his friends and family are in my thoughts.

Rest In Peace.

I have never heard of him. But I found that is sad that he died. He was only 33 years old and that is sad. That is a young age to die at also. But RIP. Btw, isn't his manager or something like that on X-Factor and if so wasn't there an episode 2night?

Yes Mich. But he wasn't on the show tonight. It's very sad news. So many people are dying; our heroes and idols. The World's changing as we know it.

Yes Mich!! Louis Walsh was his manager as Boyzone - and as Romz says, Louis wasn't there tonight out of respect obviously! But very, very sad. I'm feeling a bit better about it now, but still don't like the idea of never being able to hear him sing live again.
