Last night the cause of his death was unclear.
A close friend said it appeared Stephen died after going out in Majorca, where he was on holiday.
"It looks like he went out for a few drinks, then got back, fell asleep and never woke up," the pal said.
Early this morning Boyzone manager Louis Walsh told us: "We're all absolutely devastated."
LEAVE YOUR TRIBUTES TO STEPHEN GATELY BELOW
"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.
"I only heard after The X Factor and we will rally around each other this week. He was a great man."
All four remaining members of Boyzone - who recently reunited - will be flying to Palma, Majorca tomorrow.
Boyzone star Shane Lynch said: "Me and the boys are flying out in the morning.
"We just need to get over to where he's passed and work out what we need to do."
Ronan Keating, who is in Chicago, has been left devastated.
A pal revealed: "Ronan is completely distraught. No-one saw this coming. He loved Stephen like a brother, they were so close, it's absolutely floored him. "It's a massive shock to everyone and no one can take it in yet. He was a man in the prime of his life, and this is a huge tragedy."
He leaves a partner Andrew Cowles, who he married in a civil union in March, 2006.
The gay singer's coming out ten years ago caused a sensation in the pop music world.
Gately joined Boyzone in 1993 after answering an advert in Dublin to audition for Ireland's first boyband.
The band went on to have huge success.
Six of their singles reached number one, including "Stay" in 2001.

LEAVE YOUR TRIBUTES TO STEPHEN GATELY BELOW
He and Ronan Keating shared lead vocals and band had huge success with six singles reaching reaching number one, including "Stay" in 2001.
The band decided in 2000 to move on to solo projects. Gately was the first with his debut solo single titled New Beginning and later a debut solo album of the same name.
He went on to appear in various stage productions including starring in Joseph & The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
Gately hit the head lines in June 1999 when he admitted he was gay in our sister paper the Sun disappointing hundreds of his girl fans. His manager Louis Walsh was unaware of Gately's sexuality when he selected him for the band and has said that, had he known, he would have thought twice before picking him, citing that "it wasn't cool then to have a gay guy in a band
Gately wed Andrew Cowles, first in a commitment ceremony in Las Vegas in 2003 and more formally in a civil partnership ceremony in London in 2006.
Boyzone got back together in 2008 and Gately was enjoying the second coming when he tragically died last night in Majorca. This year in had made his film debut in the horror movie Credo.
Last week he attended the Pride of Britain Awards and the band were intending on bringing out a new album in 2010.

I am shocked because I found it out some minutes ago. I seldom watch tv or listen to the news but I have loved Boyzone since I can remember. Stephen was my dream of a perfect guy for my teenager years. And now he´s gone. It is really sad and touchig me.Why the hell am I crying? Seems like a part of my youth has been lost.
Why do good-hearted persons die that soon? His greatest gift was his talent, which will remain forever. Maybe he will charm the angels in heaven and will never be forgotten.
Keep on singing and smiling and seeze your days in heaven Stephen.

By lauren .. Posted October 19 2009 at 10:06 AM.
Its like we have lost a man of many talents but now he is a star in the sky watching everything anyone does including Ronan, Keith, Mikey and Shane. I just can't believe that he is gone because he was my favourte band member of Boyzone its so sad to know what his family and friends are going through. What about Louis the band manager.
But now we have a man and a hero up in the skies above us. No man of the age of 33 should die but he wanted to live his life to the full and through the 33 years of his life he did live his life to the full.
RIP Stephen Patrick Gately of Northern Dublin

I still cannot believe Stephen has gone. He will be very much missed by all those who loved him. My thoughts go out to Stephen's family and the rest of Boyzone. Stephen, you and the rest of the lads were my life since 1994. I loved you all so much. Thoughts from 'I'm Learning (part 1)' come to my mind, "I've been told there'll be another, or so they say, but I guess never like the other, so I'll shed my tears, and I'll face my fears..." There will never be another man like you Stephen. God bless. x

I can still remember the first time I saw you singing "Love Me For A Reason" with Boyzone...
It was a long time ago and I was a little kid...
You were my 1st idol...
the one who introduces me to music...
You gave meaning into my life
You're one of my best
Maybe life is too short...
Maybe times is not enough...
Maybe destiny is unfair...
But,,,
You have given me many good things...
You gave me your smile...
You gave me your voice...
You gave me your dance...
you gave me your passion...
Now, you finally found your peace...
You finally found your paradise...
Goodbye to you my Steo...
No matter what happen,,,
Your bright eyes and your tenderness will always shine on me...
I'll miss you...

I just want to say thank you.
You meant a lot to me during my childhood and that has made me the person that I am today.
My thoughts go to Ronan, Shane, Mikey, Keith and your family.
RIP Steo "You are the shooting star in the sky"!
P.s. I will never forget how I laughed at "Pictures of you" video; when Stepehn tries to get Shane off the car, and then he just gives up".
Thank you!

Me and my mom have loved and followed Boyzone for 12 years, and it will never seem real that Stephen is no longer with us.
He was an adorable little bunny,and we only hope the angels will look after him.
We can't close our eyes without seeing his face, and can't clear our eyes for the tears.
Our hearts go out to his family and Andrew, and of course Ronan,Shane Keith and Mikey not forgetting Louis Walsh.
Boyzone will never be the same again,but Stephen you will never be forgotten.
It is painful to say - but our wonderful Stephen RIP
You will always be in mine and my moms heart xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
