PALMA
TRIBUTES continued to be made yesterday to Boyzone singer Stephen Gately who died at his Majorcan holiday home in Camp de Mar on Saturday.
Boyzone manager Louis Walsh yesterday paid tribute to Stephen Gately, remembering him as a “great, great professional kid”.
The autopsy revealed on Tuesday that the 33-year-old Irish singer who lived in Highgate, London, died of natural causes from liquid on the lungs, although tests are being carried out on blood and fluid samples at a laboratory in Barcelona.

Gately's body is expected to be repatriated tomorrow ahead of his funeral on Saturday.
His family will be accompanying the body home and the four other members of Boyzone, Ronan Keating, Mikey Graham, Keith Duffy and Shane Lynch will also be returning to the island to “take their brother back home to Dublin” a statement on the band's official web site said yesterday.
