Dea Readers,
I was so shocked when I saw on BBC that Stephen Gately died. I screamed, “Noooooo!” Oh my goodness, so so so so sad. I haven’t had time to read what really happened to him until today.
And here I am sitting in my room, getting all emotional and teary eyed reading about it. He passed away becase of an inherited heart condition.
I really love Boyzone and all their happy songs. They all are wonderful people and I am so sad and sorry that Stephen died! It is really heartbreaking. He was the first Boyband member to come out in the open and say he is Gay, really helped pave the way for Mark from Westlife to come out too, because I guess at the end of the day, we fans, we don’t care about whether they are gay or straight, we love them for their music, the joy they bring into our lives and the wonderful people they are.
Boyzone is always on my playlist, when the songs come on it is instant sing-a-long time!
One song I used to play over and over was ” Love me for a reason, ” and I love the part when Stephen sings “Kisses and caresses are only minor tests babe, of love turned to stresses between a woman and a man..”
