Keith Duffy has opened up about about his experience with grief after the death of his Boyzone bandmate, Stephan Gately.
Stephen tragically passed away very suddenly in Spain in 2009, and his untimely passing affected the entire nation, with thousands taking to the streets to pay their respects to the singer.
“Ronan just said, ‘Steve’s dead. Buster, Steve’s dead’. I just remember not understanding what he was saying to me,” Keith told theAfter learning of Stephen’s tragic passing, Keith joined Mikey Graham and Shane Lynch, as they “just talked, cried, talked, drank, calmed ourselves down, drank more, talked and basically organised the plane” to Spain.
Saying: “Stephen was tortured before he came out. He hid his sexuality from all of us at the start. He had a very stress-filled life. Tortured, really. The more famous we got, the more tortured he became, and the more Stephen became comfortable with his position, he just flourished.” “I suffered a lot with Stephen dying. I went to a dark place. And myself and Shane kind of lost our way a little bit when we went on tour in 2011. It was just too soon from having five on stage for so many years and then four,” he confessed.
