A beautiful voice is stilled

Say what you will about boy bands and pop icons (I can't quite stomach either), the death of Stephen Gately over the weekend is indeed a loss to the music world. 

My first encounter with his amazing voice and stage presence was as part of the Andrew Lloyd Weber Albert Hall celebration.  I was mesmerized by his and Ronan's amazing voices.   But what really struck me was his sparkling eyes and his presence when he sang - I felt transported.

So, rest well and thank you for the music, Stephen.

A beautiful voice and such a tragedy at a young age.

This is the second absolutely amazing music video I've seen today. You're right...his voice was beautiful and he looked so happy singing. What was the name of the group? I'd love to look up some more of his songs.

Nice tribute DuPree. Boyzone was always easy to listen to I thought. Very sad.
