The singer died while in Majorca, with his death later ruled to be of natural causes, resulting from pulmonary edema.Presenter Craig Doyle asked whether the band would be remembering Stephen during the shows, and Shane replied: "Always. Yeah, of course we do. We always celebrate Stephen within our shows and have done for the X amount of years that he's not been with us."And it's a special time for us too to do that because I think outside of this bubble called Boyzone, to remember Stephen and his ways and the love of Stephen, it's a particular memory of an individual. But when we get together, he's very much alive. It's a whole different scenario."And I think we super enjoy it. We celebrate him to our fullest."Ronan added, "But it's funny when we're together, it feels like he's just getting ready in the dressing room or something next door. He's here. He's alive. And he'll be alive on stage with us next week at the Emirates."When the concerts were announced, some fans in Ireland were upset that Boyzone would not wrap up with a show there.Addressing the disappointment during the ITV appearance, Keith said: "We're very passionate Irish men. And there was a little bit of upset at home with our Irish fans because we weren't finishing in Ireland."But it wasn't purposely done like that at all. We'd love to finish in Ireland. Of course we would. But it just wasn't offered to us.Article continues below"This is what was offered to us, and this is what we took. And we were just delighted to have something to kind of finish it off on."Sky has also announced a new documentary, One for the Road, which will take fans behind the scenes as the band prepares to reunite for the very last time. It comes after the success of Sky Original Boyzone: No Matter What, the three-part documentary about the boyband.This Morning airs on ITV at 10am on weekdays.Choose Daily Mirror as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Stephen GatelyBoyzoneThis Morning
