Biography
Stephen Gately was an Irish pop singer and actor born 17 March 1976 in Ireland. He co-fronted Boyzone with Ronan Keating, achieving sixteen consecutive top-five entries on the UK Singles Chart during his time with the band. Every Boyzone studio album released during Gately's lifetime reached number one in the United Kingdom, with their third album becoming their most successful international release. After the group's initial break-up, Gately pursued a solo career in 2000, releasing an album that entered the UK top ten and spawned three hit singles, including the top-three track "New Beginning". Beyond music, he transitioned into stage productions and television work while also contributing songs to various projects. In 1999, Gately publicly came out and became a visible figure in LGBTQ+ visibility; he entered a commitment ceremony with Andrew Cowles in Las Vegas in 2003 and later formalized their relationship through a civil partnership in London in 2006. Upon Boyzone's reformation in 2008, Gately appeared in the band's music video for "Better," marking the first time a boyband featured a gay couple in their visual media. A Pisces with life-path number 7, Gately embodied introspection and spiritual depth even as a public figure. Gately died of a congenital heart defect in a flat he and Cowles owned in Mallorca, Spain, in 2009.
