STEPHEN GATELY

(1976 - 2009)

"It was my great pleasure to work with Stephen Gately in JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT in the West End in 2003.

The news of his death has hit hard, as the loss of such a talented, kind and generous person at such a young age is difficult to come to terms with.

My thoughts are with his family, friends and fellow band members at this terribly sad time.

James."
