New Album; Two More Songs
Boyzone is planning to release the new album in dedication to their dead vocalist Steven Gately. This information was given by the band members in an exclusive interview to Sky News. As Ronan Keating noted, Steven had time to record two songs for the album, so it’s going to be the last record on which it will be possible to hear him. Besides the fact that the public will hear the album in 2010, there is no other information at all. Thirty three years old Gately had died on October 10 on Mallorca due to some serious lung inflamation. His family calls it “tragic coincidence”, also disproving nasty rumours that it was the effect of alcohol abuse. He was buried on October 17 in Dublin; his homeland. Irish pop-group Boyzone was founded in 1993 and in certain time had experienced the world wide popularity; all it’s albums hit number one on the British charts. Eventually, they’ve sold twenty million copies, so this success speaks for itself. In 2000 the band fell apart, but in 2007 they’ve decided to reunite and performed at the number of concerts, however before Gately’s death there was no information on the release of anything new.
