Ronan Keating pens tribute to late bandmate Stephen Gately

Ronan Keating has paid a heartfelt tribute to his late Boyzone bandmate Stephen Gately , marking 16 years since his tragic passing. Stephen died suddenly at just 33 while at his holiday home in Majorca in 2009, after suffering from an undiagnosed heart condition that caused fluid to build up in his lungs. On the anniversary of his death on Friday, Ronan took to Instagram to remember his close friend and 'wingman', sharing a touching throwback photo of the pair together.
