Boyzone have played together for the first time since the death of Stephen Gately last October.
The band appeared on GMTV to perform their new single 'Gave It All Away', one of the final tracks to include Gately's vocals.
Singer Ronan Keating admitted that the group were nervous about their first live performance as a four-piece.
"We've spoken about it. We recorded this song about nearly 18 months to two years ago - when Stephen first put the vocal on," he said.
''So we've had it for a long, long time. But this is now the point where we start performing it.
"This is the part we've been nervous about. Because we don't know what it's going to be like as a four-piece and actually getting out there and singing it - so I guess it will just take time to figure out.''
Mikey Graham added: ''I think we're just still trying to find our way, moment by moment really.
''It's a very difficult process to be doing the new single without Steo - though we feel he's with us.'"
Boyzone release 'Gave It All Away' on March 1. Their album Brother follows on March 8.
