Boyzone stars 'take break to mourn Gately'

Boyzone singers Ronan Keating and Keith Duffy have flown to California to take a break following the death of bandmate Stephen Gately earlier this month.

The stars, who held an overnight vigil at Gately's funeral last weekend in Dublin, are reportedly eager to take some time off and have checked into a hotel in Los Angeles.

According to The Sun, Keating and Duffy left Dublin because there are "ghosts and memories around every corner".

Keating recently cancelled promotion for his upcoming album Winter Songs, scheduled for release on November 16.
