It has been revealed that Stephen Gately’s brother is releasing a song in honour of the late Boyzone singer.
Tony Gately’s debut single, aptly entitled He’s Still Around, is set to hit iTunes this week. It will be dedicated to Stephen who died suddenly while on holidays in Majorca three years ago.
Stephen with the other Boyzone boys before his death in 2009.
Speaking about it to the Irish Daily Mirror, the 30-year-old who looks very like his brother said: “It’s a great thing to do to be able to help keep Stephen’s memory alive.”
He added: “To me, music is Stephen. I turn on MTV and I think of Stephen – any song.”
But unlike Stephen, Tony had never imagined singing for a living: “I was on tour with Stephen and the lads and to me music is just him… I never planned to go into music.”
We don’t know why because he sounds rather like his talented sibling. Don’t believe us, have a listen to this teaser…
