Boyzone will reportedly break with Irish tradition and hold an overnight vigil for Stephen Gately the night before his funeral.
Ronan Keating, Shane Lynch, Keith Duffy and Mikey Graham are eager to remain beside Gately's coffin because he "didn't like to be alone", according to The Mirror.
"It proves how close they were. Those lads would do anything for Stephen and they know he would not want to be there on his own," said a source.
The band, who will accompany the singer's body back from Majorca tomorrow, will also carry his coffin at his funeral in Dublin on Saturday.
Thousands of fans are expected to pay their respects to the 33-year-old, who tragically died last weekend while holidaying with his husband Andrew Coyles in Majorca.
The Gately family will hold a private Mass tomorrow night and a further memorial service is due to take place in London at a later date.
