http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/10/11/article-1219583-045DE8EB0000044D-949_468x593.jpgBritish boyband star Stephen Gately has died, according to News of the World.

The 33 year-old died while he was on vacation in Majorca. Not much is known, but it suggested that he died in his sleep.

Louis Walsh, who first managed Boyzone, told the UK tabloid: "We're all absolutely devastated. I'm in complete shock. I was only with him on Monday at an awards ceremony. We don't know much about what's happened yet."

As a member of Boyzone, Gately scored an impressive 17 consecutive top ten singles, including six #1 singles. Gately was primarily featured on one of those chart-toppers, "No Matter What". The other members of the band, including Ronan Keating, are flying to Majorca within the next 24 hours.

Stephen Gately is survived by his husband Andrew Cowles, who he wed in 2006.
