Rest in Peace Stephen Gately

I was shocked to hear the news of the death of boy band singer, Stephen Gately. It was rumoured that Boyzone star died due to an eight hour heavy drinking session, whilst holidaying in Majorca with his partner. His family have rejected claims of binge drinking stating that it is simply just a tragic accident. Stephen was found dead on his sofa and police are investigating the sudden death.
The rest of Boyzone flew out to Majorca yesterday to show their support for Stephen, he was much loved by the band and they were due to tour early next year.
Stephen was most definitely one of the most loved members of Boyzone, not only was he a fantastic singer but also a role model for the younger gay society, he made it OK to be gay and showed the public that it was something he was proud of. 
It was devastating for me to hear such tragic news, Stephen died at the age of 33 and it makes you think of your own life and how we should cherish each day we have - nobody is aware of what is round the corner. My thoughts go out to the family and friends of Stephen Gately - Rest in Peace.
Bye for now,
