London
(ANI):
Later
singer
Stephen
Gately's
Boyzone
bandmates
are
planning
to
release
a
new
album
featuring
the
late
singer.
The
33-year-old
star
died
suddenly
last
month
in
Majorca
at
the
holiday
villa
he
shared
with
his
civil
partner
Andrew
Cowles.
Ronan
Keating
revealed
that
Stephen
had
already
recorded
two
tracks
for
the
group's
forthcoming
album.
"He
was
so
excited
about
this,
he
actually
texted
me
just
before
he
went
out
on
the
night
he
died
and
he
said
he
couldn't
wait
to
get
started," Sky
News
quoted
Keating
as
saying.
"I
had
never
seen
Stephen
so
full
of
life,
so
happy,
so
healthy
and
just
so
alive.
That's
what's
making
his
death
all
the
harder
for
us.
We
are
spending
a
lot
of
time
sticking
together
because
it
is
helping
us
to
deal
with
our
grief,"
he
added.
Mikey
Graham
spoke
of
the
band's
pride
at
how
the
city
of
Dublin
turned
out
to
give
Gately
the
'greatest
send
off
ever'.
"We
had
the
job
of
our
lives
organising
it
and
we
are
so
proud
of
how
it
all
worked
out,"
he
said.
"The
people
of
the
city
turned
out
to
pay
tribute
to
one
of
their
own
and
I
don't
think
I
have
ever
been
more
proud
to
be
Irish
than
I
was
that
day,"
he
added.
"We
got
our
sleeping
bags
out
and
we
lay
there
telling
stories
and
laughing
at
the
memories,
it
was
peaceful
and
it
was
perfect,"
said
Keith
Duffy.
"The
next
day
when
the
hearse
was
leaving
for
the
crematorium
and
people
threw
roses
down
for
Stephen,
well
I
don't
think
I
have
ever
seen
anything
more
beautiful
in
all
my
life,"
he
added.
"Stephen
was
one
of
my
best,
best
friends
in
life.
I
miss
him
dearly.
But
we
have
a
faith
and
we
know
he
is
in
a
magnificent
lace,
looking
down
at
us
and
smiling,"
said
Shane
Lynch.
