  • Gutted that I cannot be there amongst the fans to say Goodbye to Steo, but he knows I’m there in spirit! I hope it all goes to plan and I’m sure that Steo will be looking down smiling at the Boyz and all the fuss being made over him :D It’s definitely the send off he deserves xxx

    As longtime Boyzone fans we would just like to say how very honoured and priviledged we felt to be present at the memorial on Sunday evening.

    The memorial was so beautiful…an amazing night for an amazing man!
