The 33-year-old Irish pop star and actor was on holiday with his long-term partner in Majorca when he "tragically died" on Saturday, according to the Boyzone Tour website.

A spokesman for the police in Spain said Gately died at 1.45pm in his house in Port Andratx, and added: "At the moment it is not known how he died. There are no signs of suspicious circumstances."

The Guardia Civil is investigating the death, the police spokesman added.

The four remaining members of the band are flying out to the Spanish island, a message on the band's tour website said.

The statement read: "Stephen tragically died yesterday whilst on holiday with his partner Andrew Cowles in Majorca.

"The rest of the boyz will be flying out today."

A spokesman for Ronan Keating said he was "totally devastated" and on his way back from the United States.

The circumstances surrounding Gately's death remained unclear but the News of the World reported he died after a night out.

Boyzone manager Louis Walsh told the newspaper: "We're all absolutely devastated."
