New Boyzone Video with Gay Lovers


New Boyzone Video with Gay Lovers

The Irish boys have made a groundbreaking move as first Boyband to feature a gay couple in their music video. Singer Stephen Gately gets sensual with a male actor in their latest single Better.

In their new video the Boyzone bandmates can be seen getting close with girls while Stephen Gately chooses to get cosy with a man.

He told Newsbeat: “For me, it’s just me being me and I don’t think there should be a real big issue about the whole thing anyway. I just think it’s just a beautiful video and I think it works superbly for the song. I’m hoping this video will have a good, positive, all-round reaction”


This isn’t the first time that Gately has been allowed to express his sexuality in a video - but this moment marks Boyzone as the first boyband to feature a gay couple in their video.

Stephen mentions that the decision to include a gay couple in the video was a joint one by the whole band: "The lads were saying, 'You've got to do this'. They were pushing saying, 'This would be fantastic'. It's the first of its kind. That's why I went for it."

Boyzone reformed for a UK tour last November and are due to play more dates around Europe next May and June.
