Boyzone's tribute to Gately

The girls' boy band education delved deeper into the genre this week when we received a pair of imported BOYZONE albums on CD -- "BACK AGAIN... NO MATTER WHAT...," a greatest-hits compilation, and "BROTHER," the latest, reunion album that has become a memorial to STEPHEN GATELY following the co-lead singer's death.
The lead single from "Brother" is the Mika-penned "GAVE IT ALL AWAY." I admit: It's a really good song. Others thought so, too, it reached No. 9 in the U.K. charts.

The video (you can see it here) serves as a poignant tribute to Gately, who died of natural causes last fall.

It's touching to watch.

Lead singer RONAN KEATING told the Irish group's Web site:

"We found it really hard to make this video and the footage is incredibly raw and tough to watch at times. But we didn’t want it being too mournful all the way through. There’s a nice scene of us four brothers sat around a table at the end with Stephen’s favourite picture hanging up behind us. It’s us reminiscing about the good times and the laughter we had with our other brother."
