Boyzone singer Ronan Keating has confirmed that the band are considering performing a tribute to the late Stephen Gately on an upcoming X Factor show.

Responding to rumours that the four remaining Boyzone singers would appear on the show, the Irish singer said that they were considering it but it would have to be “done right”.

“There’s a couple of weeks to go and we’ll see,” Keating told GMTV when asked about guesting on the reality series. “If it’s done right, and it’s the right thing, we’d absolutely love to do it. It’s just how we do it.”
