Nadine Coyle joins Boyzone on stage for emotional Stephen Gately tribute night

Just five months ago, they received the shattering news that their beloved band member and 'brother' had died.

But last night Boyzone ensured Stephen Gately's memory lived on as they sang some of their favourite songs during an hour-long tribute.
The boys - Ronan Keating, Keith Duffy, Mikey Graham and Shane Lynch - were joined by a host of stars on stage for special one-off commemorative performances.
Londonderry-born Girls Aloud star Nadine Coyle, who grew up as a fan of the Irish band, lent her support to the night and sang their top ten hit Love Me For A Reason, taking on Stephen's vocals.
She wore a flowing, plunging grey dress, split down the chest, all the way down to her stomach.
Speaking about her performance on the show, which was screened on ITV, Nadine said: 'I am very honoured to be a part of this special tribute, I have grown up watching Boyzone being that I am from Ireland.
'I am very moved to be singing Stephen’s part with Boyzone on Love Me For a Reason in the show as he is a great friend and he is dearly missed.'

Fellow Irish band Westlife also took a turn on stage, making it the first joint performance between the two bands, and sang No Matter What.

And Mika, who wrote the band's latest hit Gave It All Away, joined the band on stage and sang the track with them.
The song was originally meant to be their comeback single and Gately had laid down vocals for it around two years ago - however Mika wouldn't allow them to release it at the time.
