This news piece recounts the shocking death of Stephen Gately, a beloved Boyzone singer, at the age of 33 in 2009. The article details his life, his relationship with his husband Andrew Cowles, the circumstances surrounding his death, and the outpouring of grief from fans and friends, particularly his bandmates.
Ireland was shocked when Stephen Gately who was achieving all his dreams both professionally and personally was found dead at just 33 years old in 2009.
A year later, they had a commitment ceremony in a wedding chapel while on holiday in Las Vegas in 2003, and entered into a civil partnership on 19 March 2006 during a ceremony in London. "My phone rang, it was a solicitor by the name of Gerald Kean that Boyzone had used in the 90s. Gerald 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”, he recalled with great emotion in the upcoming documentary Boyzone: No Matter What, which will air on Sky on February 2.
Stephen was pronounced dead at 2.25 pm but had passed away in his sleep hours before. "We know from the pathologist's report that Stephen died sleeping with me on the sofa," devastated Andrew told the Mirror. I know that my boy fell asleep under my arm, his heart stopped, he didn't feel any pain."
