Stephen Gately, one of the two lead singers of the Irish pop group Boyzone and the first member of a “boy band” to come out of the closet when he did so in 1999, passed away over the weekend while on holiday in Spain. Boyzone had six No. 1 singles in the UK since its inception in 1993; the group broke up in 2000, and reunited in 2007 for a tour and a greatest-hits album that included a few new tracks. More ยป
