Irish manband Boyzone have revealed that they might not tour again following the death of bandmate Stephen Gately.

The singer died suddenly last month (10 October) on holiday in Spain aged 33, and Boyzone frontman Ronan Keating says the untimely passing could spell the end of the group's live shows, although Stephen will still feature on their forthcoming album.

Ronan told The Sun: "We've his vocals for several tracks, thank God.

"But as for going on the road, we may tour, we may not. I keep remembering things and getting emotional."

Meanwhile, the group's manager Louis Walsh insisted that they need time to come to terms with Stephen's death.

He told the Evening Herald: "They have lost a brother in Stephen and right now they are hurting. Coming back isn't something that one member of the group can decide on their own - it has to be a group decision.

"I think for now they just need time to be left on their own and to come to terms with the huge void that has been left by Stephen."

He continued: "I know they were working hard on the new album and that Stephen had recorded a few tracks for that. But it would take a lot of work to finish off, and if and when they do that it will be as a tribute for Stephen."
