The year 2009 was poised to be a stellar one for Boyzone singer Stephen Gately, but tragedy struck when he died at the age of 33. The band's upcoming album release and a successful tour were overshadowed by his sudden passing. A three-part documentary, 'Boyzone: No Matter What,' explores the devastating impact of Stephen's death on his bandmates and loved ones, revealing the raw emotions and unyielding grief that followed.
The year 2009 held immense promise for Stephen Gately . His career with Boyzone was soaring, having just completed their successful Back Again... No Matter What tour and finalizing their fourth studio album, 'Brother'. Tragically, Stephen's life was cut short, leaving behind a legacy of music and an unfulfilled potential.
On a working holiday in the luxurious Majorcan resort of Port d'Andratx, Stephen and his partner, internet entrepreneur Andrew Cowles, were decorating their holiday home when the unthinkable happened. Stephen, at the tender age of 33, passed away. The heartbreaking story unfolds in the anticipated three-part series, 'Boyzone: No Matter What', which airs on February 2nd. Bandmate Ronan Keating shares the harrowing moment he learned of Stephen's – affectionately known as 'Steo' among the Boyzone crew – untimely death. Ronan delivered the devastating news to the rest of Boyzone and their manager, Louis Walsh. In an emotional snippet from the show, Ronan recounts the life-altering call: 'My phone rang, it was a solicitor by the name of Gerald King that Boyzone had used in the 90s. Gerald Keen says to me, 'I'm sorry to tell you, but Stephen has passed away.' I said, 'Stephen who? ' And he said, 'Stephen Gately.' I had to call Louis and the guys and give them the news.' Stephen's death sent shockwaves through his loved ones and admirers. The abruptness of the loss prompted his bereaved family to seek explanations. A neighbor recalled speaking with Stephen and Andrew the Saturday evening before Stephen's death, stating they planned to spend the evening relaxing at home. Stephen mentioned feeling tired and focusing on his health, opting to stay away from alcohol during the holiday. However, plans changed, leading to a night out in Palma for dinner and drinks, followed by a visit to the Black Cat club. The next morning brought unimaginable heartache when Stephen was found lifeless on the sofa, having succumbed to acute pulmonary oedema due to an unforeseen heart condition. A pathology report ruled out any connection to substance use, offering some solace to Andrew, who shared with the Mirror, 'I do get some comfort from knowing how happy he was that day. The night he died, we'd had such a good time, a lovely evening at our favourite restaurant. He was the most happy and confident he'd been in his life.' Andrew's account reveals a night filled with joy and laughter, culminating in a goodbye kiss from Georgi Dochey, a model and student, who woke up to find Stephen unresponsive on the sofa beside him. Georgi's account adds another layer to the tragedy, highlighting the fleeting nature of life and the unanswered questions that linger in the wake of such a sudden loss
