Boyzone To Fly Back With Gately

Boyzone are preparing to reunite with tragic singer Stephen Gately one last time - they will reportedly accompany his body back to the U.K.

The bandmates - Ronan Keating, Shane Lynch, Mikey Graham and Keith Duffy - flew to Majorca following Gately's death at his home on the Spanish island on Saturday.

They are comforting his distraught partner Andrew Cowles and are preparing for a poignant return to Britain with Gately's body later this week, according to the Daily Telegraph.

A post-mortem examination to establish the cause of death is due to be held on Tuesday, after which the body will be released for repatriation to Ireland.

On Monday, Gately's family blasted reports the star died after an eight-hour drinking binge in the Majorcan resort of Palma.
