Personally I didn't mind their music...not a fan but there's far worse out there.
No matter what you think of him, Boyzone or their music it's tragic that he's died at only 33.
I've only pasted the first few lines of the article cos it's fairly long...

Friends, fans and stars have paid tribute to Boyzone singer Stephen Gately, who has died suddenly at the age of 33 while on holiday in Majorca.
Gately's bandmates described him as "our friend and brother" and said he "lit up our lives and those of the many friends he had all over the world".
Boyzone manager Louis Walsh has pulled out of Sunday's X Factor TV show.
Spanish police said there were no signs of suspicious circumstances, but the cause of death is not known.
RIP Stephen
