Stephen Gately's will 'is missing'

The husband of Stephen Gately has reportedly been struggling to find the late Boyzone star's will.

According to The Mirror, Andrew Cowles had been told that the document was in the hands of a London-based company of solicitors, but is currently unaware of which one.

A source said: "It really is panic stations. They can't locate Stephen's will anywhere.

"The problem is, [Cowles] has no idea which firm holds the will, and nobody from the firm has got in touch with him to say they have it. Everything is up in the air now."

It is thought that Gately's will was originally expected to be read out to his family today. The document is said to detail the singer's wishes for his reported £7.5 million fortune.

The star passed away during a holiday in Majorca earlier this month.
