BRAVE BOYZONE stars paid a musical tribute to their former bandmate and "little brother" STEPHEN GATELY at his funeral today in Dublin.The performance inside the St Laurence O'Toole Church in Dublin was relayed on loud speakers to over 3,500 mourners who had lined the streets outside.
The four remaining members - RONAN KEATING, KEITH DUFFY, MIKEY GRAHAM and SHANE LYNCH - sang In This Life, a song written by Keating. They performed one more song, Happiness, which followed an emotional eulogy containing humour as well as tearful moments. DUFFY described Gately as the band's "little brother" whom they would always protect. He told his former bandmate's civil partner ANDREW COWLES he now has "four new brothers" and the star's parents MARTIN and MARGARET have "four new sons", adding they should expect an expensive Christmas now they've got "eight new grandchildren".
Graham praised Gately, whom they called Steo, for bringing "colour to the band" and the band "felt black and white without him".
