Stephen Gately sadly passed away on this day, nine years ago.
The singer tragically died from natural causes in his home in Majorca, on October 10 2009, at only 33 years of age.
To mark the anniversary of his death, his fellow bandmates have paid touching tributes to the Boyzone star.
Ronan uploaded a picture of his tattoo in Stephen's honour, along with some memories of the singer.
"I hear your laugh every day bro. That wicked sense of humour still gets me through," he wrote.
"Thank you for the friendship. Can’t believe 9 years have passed. Miss ya Bro your song will last forever," he added.
Shane posted a picture without a caption saying: "When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure.”
Whereas Keith Duffy opted for a beautiful collage of throwback pictures of them together.
He wrote: "there’s not a day goes by where I don’t remember a wonderful memory of times spent with this beautiful beautiful man. I miss you Steo."
Stephen lives on in our memories and the music he created with Boyzone.
The boys, including Mikey Graham, rose to fame in the 1990s and captured the hearts of millions of fans around the world.
Some of their smash hits included Words, A Different Beat and No Matter What.
The group has continued to make music and will reportedly release a farewell album at the end of the year.
The album is titled Thank You & Goodnight, and it will feature a tribute to Gately, and contains some of his vocals.
