A Message About Stephen Gately

We are, like everyone else, in shock today. We met Stephen Gately back in ‘98 when we first started out and since then have had the pleasure of meeting him many times. He and the Boyzone lads paved the way for us as a band. He was a friendly, positive spirit and a passionate performer. Our thoughts are with Andy and the rest of his family, his friends, his legions of fans and of course his bandmates Keith, Mikey, Shane and Ronan who will be devastated at the loss of a truly beautiful person.

Kian, Mark, Nicky & Shane x

The Cheerios Childline Concert and MCD would also like to acknowledge the sudden and tragic loss of Stephen Gately who was a great supporter of the charity event. Stephen co-hosted the concert twice along with performing a total of 3 times over the past 11 years. We would like to extend our deepest condolences to Andrew Cowels, the Gately Family, Boyzone and Louis Walsh on their tremendous loss.

Childline, which is Ireland’s No.1 children’s charity, hopes to receive over €400,000 from 2009’s concert. In 2008 the event raised €400,000 and, to date, Childline has benefited to the tune of €3 million from the previous concerts which have been held annually since 1997 and have featured such acts as Westlife, Boyzone, Robbie Williams, Girls Aloud, The Script, Shayne Ward, Stephen Gatley, Enrique Iglesias,, All Saints, Ronan Keating, Brian McFadden, Anastasia, Blue, Sophie Ellis Bextor, Five, Sugababes, Busted and many more.
