The X Factor judge says he was amazing
Wednesday, 14 October 2009
Louis Walsh has praised singer Stephen Gately who died in Spain at the weekend.
The X Factor judge had been close to the star since he formed Boyzone in the mid-90s.
‘I have lost my best friend,' says Louis, 57. ‘He was the glue in Boyzone. He kept them all together.'
Louis admits Stephen was always grateful for his support.
‘He's the only person who I've ever managed who has absolutely said thank you,' he adds.
‘He thanked me all the time. He was the only one who thanked me properly.
'He was just amazing fun, honest, relaxing, so good natured.'
Louis admits he's struggling to deal with his grief.
‘I am completely broken,' he tells the Daily Mirror. ‘I just can't get my head around it and don't know how I'll get over it.
‘I've just been walking around in a daze. I am still in shock. I just cannot believe this has happened.
'I'm desperately trying to keep busy but I'm all over the place.'
Stephen, 33, was found dead at his holiday home in Majorca on Saturday after a night out in Palma.

I cant believe how many celeb's have passed this yr in such a short space of time we have lost Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, Patrick Swayze and now our very own Stephen Gately. Boyzone will never be the same again without his cheeky little smile. May he rest in peace.
