The X Factor judge feels too emotional
Thursday, 15 October 2009
Louis Walsh has declined a request by Stephen Gately's family to speak at his funeral.
The Boyzone star will be laid to rest on Saturday in Dublin, Ireland.
‘They asked me to get involved but I couldn't stand up,' says Louis, 57. ‘I'd break down.
‘The emotions and nerves would be worse than any show.
'I don't like real life - that's why I love the pop business. It's not real.
'The funeral will hit me hard because it still hasn't sunk in that he's gone. I'm dazed.'
Louis will miss Saturday's X Factor to attend the service, but is yet to make a decision about Sunday.
Stephen, 33, was found dead at his holiday home in Majorca on Saturday after a night out in Palma.
