X Factor 2009 - want boyzone

X Factor producers want Boyzone to appear on the show to perform a special tribute to Stephen Gately, says a report in The Mirror who say the programmes bosses are waiting to talk to the bands manager and X Factor judge Louis Walsh before going ahead.

A source allegedly told The Mirror ;

“Stephen was a very close friend of the ITV show. During a production meeting they were discussing ideas for guest performers. Boyzone were mentioned as an obvious choice. Everyone is painfully aware they need to be sensitive, so they have held back on a formal approach until they speak to Louis. But the huge outpouring of grief is hard to ignore. There have been a lot of messages asking the boys to do some kind of tribute to his life.”

The 33 yearold singer who was found dead at his luxury apartment in Majorca earlier this month, was apparently a ‘huge fan’ of the TV talent show and had once expressed a desire to perform on the programme with Boyzone.
