Louis Walsh will miss this week’s live The X Factor show to attend close friend Stephen Gately’s funeral.

Walsh has been very heavily affected by the star’s sudden death and will not feature on Saturday night's performance show. His appearance on Sunday night's results show is also in doubt.

He will instead attend the Boyzone singer’s funeral which takes place on Saturday at St Laurence O’Toole’s Church in Dublin.

It respectable of Louis not to attend this weekend's show

Week Three of The X Factor is expected to have a Big Band theme for the fourth consecutive year.

According to the Radio Times, next week's show will feature the remaining ten acts facing "the challenge of singing with a full orchestra".

Michael Bublé, who released new single 'Haven't Met You Yet' on Monday, and Westlife, who return with the track 'What About Now?' next month, are rumoured to be the celebrity guests.

This weekend's X Factor will have a Diva theme.

X Factor mentor Louis Walsh will be missing Saturday night’s live heat in order to attend Stephen Gately’s funeral.

The ceremony for the Boyzone singer will be held in Dublin on Saturday at midday, so Louis, 57, will not be able to sit on the judging panel that evening.
It is yet to be decided whether Louis, who was Boyzone’s manager, will return to the show on Sunday night.

A spokesperson for The X Factor said: “Louis is still acting as a mentor over the phone, even choosing this week’s songs.”

how silly is that!! weather louis wanted to go or not he has to its his job to miss x factor and attend the funeral omg cant believe they have printed that

It is called showing respect to a member of a band that he manages and who was a very good friend to him. He must go to the funeral, X Factor will survive without him, supporting family and friends when somebody has passed away is much more important. I don't get your attitude at times, sindydoll.

I completely support louis and his decision to miss the x factor for the funeral, if he wasnt going to the funeral others would go on about him and say he was wrong. either way he cant please everyone he just has to do what he feels right, and he was close to stephen so its undestandable.

Leona Lewis is on the show in November

Sorry, I misread that. Thought you meant that he should go to X Factor and not the funeral.
