I still can't believe this everytime I see or read about it. I love Boyzone, always have. Coming originally from Ireland myself, I can understand the traditions etc.. regarding funerals and I think it is a lovely gesture from his band mates to stay with the coffin. However, I am sick and tired of reading alledged details of how he died and the life he lived. That guy that was with them on the tragic night is now selling his story and intends attending the funeral - all I can say is he better watch out, Stephen was much loved and respected regardless of his sexuality - Sleep in Peace Stephen
