Stephen Patrick David Gately has died whilst on holiday in Majorca with this long term partner, Andy Cowles. The News of the World has reported than Stephen had gone out for drinks, returned to his accommodation to sleep but never woke up.
Boyzone manager Louis Walsh told the newspaper: "We're all absolutely devastated."
He said: "I'm in complete shock. I was only with him on Monday at an awards ceremony. We don't know much about what's happened yet.
"I only heard after The X Factor and we will rally around each other this week. He was a great man."
Singer Sir Elton John said: "David and I are stunned by this tragedy. Stephen was the kindest, gentlest soul.
"We send our love and condolences to his partner Andy and to all his friends everywhere."
The former Irish Prime Minister, Bertie Ahern, was quoted as saying:
"This is a huge tragedy. Stephen and Boyzone have been very much a part of our life for 15 years in Ireland.
"They've done well around the world, but they are very much a group of lads from north Dublin.
"It's a huge loss. I extend my sympathy to the Gately family and all the lads in Boyzone."
Mr Ahern, whose daughter Georgina is married to Nicky Byrne of boyband Westlife, also told Sky News: "It's a huge loss for all the supporters of Boyzone.
"They got back together, they've been doing really well. I was talking to Ronan (Keating) the other night.
"They had a big year ahead. So its a huge personal tragedy to the Gatelys but also to the entertainment and music industry."
Stephen sung in popular 90's boy band Boyzone from 1993-2000 and achieved 6 UK number one singles, as well as countless top 40 hits.
He moved onto solo projects in 2000, releasing the album "New Beginning" which got to number three in the UK album charts.
Stephen also tried his hand at acting, taking the lead role Andrew Lloyd Webbers"Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat" and also appearing in performances such as Chitty Chitty Band Bang in a London West End performance.
Stephen confirmed his sexuality as part of a front page Sun exclusive in 1999, with the headline "Boyzone Stephen: I'm gay and I'm in love". It was reported that he feared a former member of the Boyzone security team was about to sell the story.
In 2008 Boyzone briefly reformed, releasing a new single and booking several live performances.
His last message on Twitter, posted on 6 October, said: "still busy - lots going on. Focussing on finishing my book next so may be quiet here".

Christmas without you here with me,
can never possibly be the same.
But I carry an Angel within my heart;
one so precious, who has your name.
An Angel forever watching over me,
at Christmas time, and over the year.
Although you can't be here anymore,
inside my heart, you are so very near.
There is no special present for you,
wrapped up under my Christmas tree.
But I have a greater gift to give to you;
all the love you can still feel from me.
No, Christmas time without you here,
could not ever possibly be the same.
But, I have had the precious gift of you,
and the memories and love, will remain.
� Pamela Hall
All my love Sylvie

☆ A SHINING STAR ☆
When I had to leave you
I didn't go too far
Look up to the Heavens
I’m a Brilliant shining star.☆
May this light show you
As it glistens from above
A very special thank~you
When you lifted me with love.☆
A little star that brightly shines
A star thats free from pain
Held gently in God's loving arms
Until we meet again.☆
As you go on your journey
Be the best that you can be
And know that God is there for you
As he is here for me.☆
When we miss each other
And want each other near
You shine your light upon the earth
And I'll shine my light up here.☆
So we will always remember
When we seem so far apart
To shine our lights together
With love upon our hearts.☆

When I watch all the Beautiful Butterflies they bring a smile to my face
Each of them flying around my garden each one so full of Grace
These are the little moments when I find Solace and Peace
When I see all these perfect Butterflies my Heart finds some kind of release
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
Release from all the hurting all the tears deep inside
Somehow watching the Butterflies, I feel my Angel by my side
I watch them fly so high they seem to look back and know
That I need a closer look at them so they put on a show
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
They are so full of beauty that others fail to see
Are these Butterflies sent from Heaven have they really been sent to me?
Yes, I will always seek out each Butterflies wings made from Golden lace
In my Broken Heart these Butterflies hold a very dear Special Place.........
