Boyzone star Stephen Gately dies

[Neiler]

RIP.

However:

'Bertie Ahern, described Gately as a personal friend and his death as a "huge, huge tragedy" for Irish music and culture.'

Talk about a national leader selling his country short!

He hasnt been leader for the last year mate.

Sad news.

Sad news.

No, I didn't mean he was Taoiseach, just a leader of sorts. Fianna Fail isn't it?

Anyway, yes, it is sad for his family.

Well, i'm f*cked. Was gonna procrastinate today but couldn't be bothered, so doing it tomorrow instead!

Are we allowed to lol in an RIP thread?

No mate - but i get your meaning.

His daughter is married to one of the westlife lads - so i suppose there is a link of sorts. 33 makes you think.

I'm by no means a fan, but i'm pissed off that this guy dies and yet Bono lives on.

Life's a bitch.

It's sad that any 33 year old dies, but without wanting to sound insensitive, I find the bit about it being a ' huge huge tragedy for Irish music and culture ' rather rediculous.

I have to agree its sad of course..but please he was in boyzone plastic pop at its worst

 

[linglong]

While I wouldn't perhaps go as far mass murder, I think the situation can best be summed up as:

Someone we didn't know has died, and it's a bit sad because they were young. They also happened to be slightly famous.

That's it really, doesn't really need much more in the way of comment, hopefully we'll be spared the posthumous sanctification and hysteria that we got when Jade Goody went.

Great post sir!!

Just 33, it is no age. And to be fair to him, he did a very courageous thing by coming out when and how he did. Hope for his memories and his families sake that 'other circumstances' were not involved with his early demise. Prayers out to his family and his long term other.

At least he went out in typical rock-star fashion following an 8 hour drinking session....

better to burn out than fade away

Choked on his on vom. Sad but school boy error.

Jesus Christ, the guy is not even cold and he is being compared to Jade Goody? I dont remember his last week of life being live on Living TV. It is very sad and sudden for his family, partner & friends. So what if he wasnt the greatest singer, let the guy rest in peace.

Have you got a Kenwright blood hound sniffing out anything Bill-related or something?

Although - Speaking from San Diego, California, Everton owner Mr Kenwright spoke of his admiration for the boy band star he affectionately nicknamed “Little Stevie Wonder”.

Sunning it up our Bill like.

Groundshare with the Chargers. I'd move out there if they let me.
