Ronan Keating and Boyzone bandmates post emotional tributes to the late Stephen Gately

Their bandmate passed away unexpectedly in 2009

It’s been eight years since the death of Stephen Gately – and his Boyzone bandmates are still mourning his loss.

The singer passed away unexpectedly back in 2009, while he was on holiday in Majorca, Spain, and he was just 33 years old.

Taking to Instagram, close friend and bandmate Ronan Keating posted an emotional tribute to Stephen.

“8 years today pal,” he wrote. “Crazy how fast the time passes but feels like yesterday.”

“Miss the laughs when our heads hurt and our sides could burst. We all miss ya dude. #Beliveinme #Steo #Brothers #BZ.”

Keith Duffy also shared a video of himself and bandmates Mikey Graham and Shane Lynch waiting to go on Ronan’s Magic FM radio show this morning, revealing that the boys were spending the day together to mark Stephen’s anniversary.

“Together remembering our Brother 8 years an angel,” he wrote.
