Boyzone plan Gately tribute album

Published: 11:42AM Sunday November 01, 2009 Source: ONE News

Irish boyband Boyzone will record a new album as a tribute to band member Stephen Gately who died suddenly last month.

The 33-year-old died of natural causes after suffering fluid on his lungs on October 10 at his holiday home on the Spanish island of Majorca.

Fellow Boyzone singer Ronan Keating has told Sky News television the band will make the next album for Gately.

"We have a couple of songs with Stephen's vocal on it so that's a saving grace.

"Thank God we have that - that's very important to all of us and we know the fans would really appreciate that too."

I think a Boyzone album would be a great tribute to Stephen Gately But I hope it is from all the boys & not just a Ronan Keating album After all, he was not the only member that loved him or has talent.
