Stephen Gately
Stephen Patrick David Gately (17 March 197610 October 2009) was an Irish pop singer-songwriter, actor, children's writer and dancer, who, with Ronan Keating, was one of two lead singers of the pop group Boyzone.〔("Boyzone singer Stephen Gately dies: a life on stage" ) ''The Daily Telegraph''.〕 Gately and Keating originally served as co-frontmen, but Keating gradually became more synonymous with the group as time went on. All of Boyzone's studio albums hit number one in the United Kingdom, their third being their most successful internationally. With Boyzone, Gately had a record-breaking sixteen consecutive singles enter the top five of the UK Singles Chart. He performed for millions of fans globally. He released a solo album in 2000, after the group's initial break-up, which charted in the UK top ten and yielded three UK hit singles, including the top three hit "New Beginning". Gately went on to appear variously in stage productions and on television programmes as well as contributing songs to various projects. In 2008, he rejoined his colleagues as Boyzone reformed for a series of concerts and recordings.
Gately made his sexuality known in 1999 and came out in a blaze of publicity. He wed Andrew Cowles, first in a commitment ceremony in Las Vegas in 2003 and more formally in a civil partnership ceremony in London in 2006. Upon Boyzone's reformation, Gately featured as part of the first gay couple in the music video for "Better", in what was to be his last with the band.〔
Gately died of a congenital heart defect on 10 October 2009, in a flat that he and Cowles owned in Mallorca, Spain. Brian Boyd in ''The Irish Times'' stated: "Stephen Gately’s death represents the first time that the boyband genre has had to deal with such a tragic situation".〔 Tim Teeman of ''The Times'' (UK) heralded Gately as a hero of gay rights for his response to being "smoked out of the closet".
==Early life and family==
Gately grew up in relative poverty in the working-class Sheriff Street area of Dublin.〔(Stephen Gately was the nice guy of pop who overcame poverty and prejudice )〕 He was the fourth of five children; his father Martin is a former decorator and his mother, Margaret (born 1949) a cleaner.〔 His siblings are Michelle, Tony, Alan and Mark.〔(Police: Stephen Gately choked to death on vomit )〕 Gately was raised Catholic. He was particularly close to sister Michelle throughout his life. Gately's father had an accident as a result of which he had to be hospitalised for three months from September 2004, and has not returned to work.〔 His mother then took over as full-time carer.〔 Gately attended primary school at St Laurence O'Toole's and secondary school at North Strand Technical College.〔 As a teenager he appeared in various musicals and theatre performances at school, such as ''Juno and the Paycock''. He was estranged from his parents for years, but reconciled with them in 2008, and visited them with Andrew Cowles that year.
