Stephen Gately.

i really didn't have any moods on writing something, so i'm going to have this post as a tribute to the late Stephen Gately (17 March 1976 - 10 October 2009, aged 33) former member of Boyzone, one of the greatest Irish band ever.

Born on 17th of March 1976, Stephen Patrick David Gately, he was the fourth out of five child and he was born in Dublin, Ireland. he grew up poor until he appeared in several musical for his school and also many theatre performance. in 1993 he joined the Irish boy band named Boyzone. and the song titled 'Love Me For a Reason' hits UK's chart number two on 1995. and from that on, Boyzone keep on rising and rising until the whole world know about them. and then on the year 2000, Boyzone performed together for the last time and it reached out 35.000 tickets sold and that was the biggest ever on that year.

on 2000, Stephen Gately made a solo debut. his first single titled 'New Beginning' was a hit! and his second single titled 'I Believe' also featured on the movie 'Billy Eliot' on 2000. he became one of the first pop stars that come out as gay. and he wed Andrew Cowles, on 2003 in Las Vegas.

for the sad news, Stephen was found dead on his apartment on Saturday, 10th of October 2009, on the Spanish Island of Majorca, the cause of the death is called pulmonary edema, to put it simple it's like you have fluids in your lungs. he was found dead on the sofa and was discovered by his husband Andrew Cowles.

my thoughts and prayer are for you Stephen. may he rest in peace. :)

firstly i know this news when i was with my brother and daddy to drop of my mother at her friend's house. when i checked my phone and updated my twitter status, i read the news on my phone and found out that he was passed away. i was shocked. from what i know, he seems fine to me. but hear this sad news makes me wanna hear all of Stephen's and Boyzone's songs back again. it's sad really, tragic death of one of the greatest members of Boyzone. i must say i LOVE his voice. he had an amazing voice.
