Singer Ronan Keating walked down memory lane and recalled how he and fellow Boyzone members spent the last night together.
His former bandmate Stephen Gately had passed away on October 10, 2009, and Boyzone fans remembered how his bandmates slept on the church floor with his coffin the night before his funeral, reports the sun.co.uk.
Keating, Keith Duffy, Shane Lynch and Mikey Graham had held an overnight vigil at St Laurence O'Toole Roman Catholic church so that he wasn't on his own for a moment. They brought sleeping bags into the church and slept beside his coffin.
Keating told Sky News that it was a "beautiful, amazing experience".
Ronan Keating added, "The four of us decided to stay with him on the Friday night in the church. All of us are so happy that we did it. It was our last night together as a five piece, our last real night together.

Our latest martial arts focus takes a look back at what might just be Ireland's only martial arts film to date...
There are many things that I love about Fatal Deviation, Ireland's first and - as far as I can tell - only martial arts film. What I love most however is that James Bennett, the mastermind responsible, has never apologised for it.

Bennett, on the other hand, has never sold out his film like that. He has stuck behind it no matter what. Even now, his official Facebook...

Saturday Night Entertainment television is very horrible.
Don’t get me wrong. I do not mean in terms of the content, because I love it when Phillip Schofield gets all ‘Prime time’ on me. I merely mean in terms of the pressures they set upon society. Am I Right, Cruel World?
Oh us. The unsuspecting general public, who just like something to watch whilst we sip from mugs. Because sometimes mug sipping is just not enough. Sometimes the mugs are merely empty. (This isn’t a metaphor for the depravity of life, it was a mug-based analysis only.) But nowadays, turning on the television is like reawakening a rubbish school bully who gives your trousers a ‘look’. So many demands and threats are suddenly thrust upon us:
Got to Dance.
Strictly come Dancing.
Do You think you can dance?
and
How Do you solve a problem like Maria?...

Boyzone have returned to the top of the UK album charts. Brother, the group's fifth number one album, first reached the top spot a fortnight ago but was beaten by Lady GaGa's The Fame Monster last week. However, it has now reclaimed the crown after a 60% increase in sales week-on-week. Speaking to Radio 1, band member Mikey Graham said: "It's absolutely amazing that we've had a number one album again with Brother... We really want to thank all our fans for the support they've given us not only in the last 17 years, but particularly in the last six months [since the death of Stephen Gately]. Thank you very, very much from me and all the boys." There were two new entries in the top ten, with Laura Marling's I Speak Because I Can charting at number four and Goldfrapp's Head First going straight (more)...

We love waiting for Jason Gardiner’s tweets each Sunday night after a star is eliminated from Dancing On Ice, especially if the result hasn’t gone his way.
When Mikey Graham got sent home and Danniella Westbrook saved Jason tweeted:
I stand by my vote for mikey. We have required elements for a reason and he gave a solid performance plus nailed the spins. Daniella didn’t.
Glorious day! Although I’m still miffed about Mikey’s eviction. Skating judges are hypocrites.
After last night’s show when Danniella Westbrook was voted off and Gary Lucy was saved, Gardiner took to Twitter and blasted Lucy saying:
We lost a great performer tonight and they kept a total bore! Hardly any competition for Hayley next week.
Say it as you see it Jason!!

Dancing On Ice judge Jason Gardiner has issued a warning to Hayley Tamaddon, warning her that Danniella Westbrook could steal the show from under her.
The gay judge has admitted that even he got hot under the collar when watching Dan act like a sexy secretary on Sunday night’s show. He told The Sun:
“Hayley has got something to worry about – Danniella’s got more sex appeal.
“There’s no question she’s a lived woman and she’s bringing all of her life experience into play here.
“It reminded me of Maggie Gyllenhaal from the film Secretary. I was really turned on.
“It was steamy and it was really hot. It made me think, ‘This is a woman on ice, this isn’t some performing arts kid’ – which I think Hayley can come across like, she’s a little bit cheesy.”
He added:

We can’t believe that the BBC actually put this five piece band together specially for the Eurovision competition. Individually they may be able to sing, but as a group they may actually have produced the worst musical moment that we have ever witnessed.
On tonight’s show they sang a Steps song, ( though they claim it was by Bananarama ) and we’ve never sworn so much at our television, not even in the most awful of X Factor auditions.
The only one who shone was the mousey bloke at the end but then the other guy dragged it straight back into the gutter. If this is some of the best talent in Britain, then we might just move to The States.

Proving that the BBC haven’t asked any actually talented people to try out for this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, they plonked Karen Harding on the stage and asked her to sing What Do I Have To Do by Kylie Minogue.
The 18 year old is a professional singer who began performing at an early age but who has no formal training besides the occasional singing lesson. On tonight’s show she claimed to have some connection with X Factor winner Joe McElderry, but in the end it made no difference, she was still awkward and pitchy.
The judges were gave her some nice and encouraging comments, proving that they weren’t listening to the same song that we were.

Young, who skated topless to the 'Rocky Theme' on Sunday, finished second on the judges scoreboard, totalling 22.5 points. Speaking about the performance, Graham told Digital Spy: "The whole package was brilliant. The song represents the underdog rising up and coming to the top of his game.

Contestants skating on the tour will be Hayley Tamaddon, Emily Atack, Mikey Graham, Gary Lucy, previous finalists Clare Buckfield and Chris Fountain and former winners Gaynor Faye and Ray Quinn.

Mikey Graham has defended Dancing On Ice judge Jason Gardiner, saying that the show wouldn’t be as good without him.
After Jason tried to save him from elimination on Sunday night, the Boyzone singer told The Mirror:
“Jason knows when he’s crossed the line, but without his comments, the whole thing wouldn’t be as colourful – as much as people call him the ‘nasty one’, they love to hear what he has to say.”
“The show is what it is and there has to be different colours to make the rainbow, to make it interesting. There has to be drama, there has to be highs and lows, compliments and the opposite. It’s an important ingredient for the show.”

Blasting his fellow judges for saving Danniella Westbrook, even though she messed up her required element of a solo spin, Gardiner told The Sun:
“In the skate-off Mikey upped the ante and nailed three solo spins which was the required element.
“So how you can put through somebody who couldn’t get the proper required element?.
“Mikey was very graceful and elegant and it was a good solid performance. He was robbed.
“He can be very proud. He shouldn’t have gone.
“I’m shocked the other judges didn’t vote Danniella off – there is no doubt everyone has their favourites now.”

Alexis, 20
Alexis has always been a keen performer, but he has never worked professionally.
As a young boy he was in to acting. He considers himself to be a “showman” and has “no passion for anything else”. He only fell in love with singing when he performed in his school’s production of Grease.
Alexis believes his talent may come from his dad, who used to sing in various bands and gave Alexis lots of encouragement. He aims to emulate singers like Rod Stewart and Freddie Mercury as he was brought up listening to them.
Aged 18 Alexis attended the Kent and Surrey Academy Performing Arts for one year.

Mikey Graham has been voted off ITV’s Dancing On Ice.
The Boyzone singer found himself in the skate off against former Eastenders actress Danniella Westbrook. Although Danniella managed to complete the required solo spin the second time round, she botched the end and the last lift looked very awkward. Mikey on the other hand upped his game somewhat and gave the routine an enthusiasm that he had previously failed to display.
We were therefore shocked that the judges chose to save Danniella and we think they made a huge mistake!
The judges voted to save:
Karen: Danniella
Nicky: Mikey
Jason: Mikey
Emma: Danniella
Robin: Danniella
We bet there are more than a few enraged Boyzone fans out there. Feel free to leave your comments below.

Well not literally! We of course mean that on tonight’s Dancing On Ice, Mikey Graham skated to the Ronan Keating song ‘When You Say Nothing At All.’
We thought that the Boyzone singer did really well on the movie inspired show, despite not having much practice time due to band commitments. He really attacked his solo spin and had a lot more confidence in it that some of the previous skaters.
He got a score of 19 and the judges comments were:
Nicky: You got an extra point five from me fore the spin. You do need to skate better than this though, I’ve seen you skate better than you are at the moment.
Karen: The spin was very strong but I see a lot of nerves in your knees.
Jason: It was an alright performance but not your greatest. Sometimes it looks like you are really concentrating on staying upright.
