Boyzone for X Factor performance?
X Factor bosses are said to be keen for the remaining members of Boyzone, to perform a tribute to Stephen Gately on the show.
The Mirror reports that bosses are first waiting for approval from Louis Walsh, before approaching the band.
A source said: “Stephen was a very close friend of the ITV show. During a production meeting they were discussing ideas for guest performers. Boyzone were mentioned as an obvious choice.
“Everyone is painfully aware they need to be sensitive, so they have held back on a formal approach until they speak to Louis.
“But the huge outpouring of grief is hard to ignore. There have been a lot of messages asking the boys to do some kind of tribute to his life.”

Yep- I knew the “tribute” bit was an absolute certainty.Get your mugs on t.v. lads-your “comeback” was a flop heres a chance for free publicity.
I know it must be difficult for the lads to even think about , but it would be such a nice thing to do. For The boyz and Louis to remember him somewhere they said he was close to. I’m sure we’d all like you to do a tribute of some sort. and we all really want a tribute tour, but if the boyz feel its too soon to do something like this , then thats more that acceptable. Its only been a week and a few days. R.I.P stephen gately. truly missed and forever in my heart i love you x
