Didn't Need Them. We Had Our Own Awful Boy Bands
-
The world is mourning Stephen Gately, member of the world-famous "boy band" Boyzone, who died of unknown natural causes while on vacation in Majorca. He was only 33. And in America, the response is undoubtedly going to be... who? That's because the Irish act was and is completely unknown here. In most of the rest of the West, he was well known as a member of the popular act, which had six U.K. number one singles, none of which anyone in America knows. It's another example of how, with the world having been made much smaller through communications and technology, there are some things that still don't translate.
