In the upcoming three-part documentary Boyzone: No Matter What, which will air on February 2, bandmate Ronan Keaton recalled the moment he first learned of the death of Stephen, who he and other Boyzone members affectionately referred to as ‘Steo.’ It was then down to Ronan to break the news to the rest of Boyzone, as well as their manager Louis Walsh.
Gerald Keen says to me, ‘I’m sorry to tell you, but Stephen has passed away.’ I said, ‘Stephen who?’ And he said, ‘Stephen Gately.’ I had to call Louis and the guys and give them the news.
Stephen Gately's tragic final hours and unanswered questions that haunt his family The year 2009 should have been a happy one for Stephen Gately, who was riding a high in both his personal and professional life.
On Saturday, October 9, 2009, Stephen and Andrew had been busily decorating their £1 million holiday home, ready for the arrival of friends and family.
To the delight of fans, the newly reunited Boyzone had just wrapped up their Back Again... No Matter What tour, and were working on studio album number four - Brother.
