My story

Stephen Gately tragically died on 10 October 2009 while on holiday with his husband Andrew on the island of Mallorca. Andrew has requested that any donations should be made to the Caudwell Children Charity for whom Stephen was an ambassador.

 

Official statement from Caudwell Children:

Boyzone singer, Stephen Gately who tragically died on 10th October, was a Goodwill Ambassador for the Stoke-based charity, Caudwell Children. In recent years he has attended many of the Charity's fundraising events with husband, Andrew Cowles and the Boyzone band members. Stephen also auctioned a private performance at the Charity's Christmas ball in Cheshire, raising thousands of pounds for the Charity which provides donations to sick and disabled children acoss the UK.
