It’s been 11 years since the death of Stephen Gately – and his Boyzone bandmates are still mourning his loss.
The 33-year-old singer passed away unexpectedly back in 2009, while he was on holiday in Majorca, Spain.
Taking to Instagram, close friend and bandmate Ronan Keating posted an emotional tribute to Stephen.
Sharing an old photo of them, Ronan wrote: “This was us as I remember and always want to. 11 years has zipped by and it’s still as hard as ever to not have you in all our lives.”
