R.I.P: Stephen Gately from Boyzone
BOYZONE star Stephen Gately died suddenly yesterday at the age of just 33, the News of the World can reveal.
Last night the cause of his death was unclear.
A close friend said it appeared Stephen died after going out in Majorca, where he was on holiday.
"It looks like he went out for a few drinks, then got back, fell asleep and never woke up," the pal said.
LEAVE YOUR TRIBUTES TO STEPHEN GATELY BELOW
Early this morning Boyzone manager Louis Walsh told us: "We're all absolutely devastated."
"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."
All four remaining members of Boyzone - who recently reunited - will be flying to Palma, Majorca tomorrow.
Boyzone star Shane Lynch said: "Me and the boys are flying out in the morning.
"We just need to get over to where he's passed and work out what we need to do."
Ronan Keating, who is in Chicago, has been left devastated.
A pal revealed: "Ronan is completely distraught. No-one saw this coming. He loved Stephen like a brother, they were so close, it's absolutely floored him. "It's a massive shock to everyone and no one can take it in yet. He was a man in the prime of his life, and this is a huge tragedy."
He leaves a partner Andrew Cowles, who he married in a civil union in March, 2006.
The gay singer's coming out ten years ago caused a sensation in the pop music world.
Gately joined Boyzone in 1993 after answering an advert in Dublin to audition for Ireland's first boyband.
The band went on to have huge success.

New Vh1 Reality show
Matsuflex from Tool Academy recently tweeted that they are casting people for a new VH1 reality show. Gee I wonder what reality show it is?
VH1 to do a reality show about people with OCD
Having OCD is kind of an adorable ‘quirk’ when you’re, say, Monk. But that’s the Hollywood version.
Now we’re going to get an unscripted version.
VH1 is producing a reality show featuring people who suffer from obsessive compulsive disorder, according to Variety.
The series will follow a group of patients with severe forms of the disease–and force them all to live together as they undergo treatment.
“Our viewers will see something of themselves in these patients as I think everyone has a little bit of OCD, making it surprisingly relatable,” says Jeff Olde, VH1’s senior VP of programming. “We want to open people’s eyes and hearts to a very real side of this disorder that can often ruin careers and relationships.”
The cable network seems to be turning into the self-help channel. The OCD project joins the rehabilitation series “Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew” and its upcoming spinoff, “Sex Rehab With Dr. Drew.”
