Westlife Shocked Over Death Of Stephen Gately
Westlife are reacting to the death of Boyzone singer Stephen Gately on their blog at MySpace. The Irish boy band write:
We are, like everyone else, in shock today. We met Stephen Gately back in ‘98 when we first started out and since then have had the pleasure of meeting him many times. He and the Boyzone lads paved the way for us as a band. He was a friendly, positive spirit and a passionate performer. Our thoughts are with Andy and the rest of his family, his friends, his legions of fans and of course his bandmates Keith, Mikey, Shane and Ronan who will be devastated at the loss of a truly beautiful person.
Kian, Mark, Nicky & Shane x
