Anniversaries are a bit of a theme for us this month on the podcast, and today, the 10th of October marks 10 years since the death of the brilliant and beautiful Steven Gately. On the morning of October 11th 2009 , Ireland woke to the devastating news that one of its brightest stars, had passed away in his sleep. In one of our first episodes, we had the absolute pleasure of speaking to one of his best friends and bandmates Mikey Graham about his love for Steven, then and now. He opens the interview with a truly honest account of Stephens personality, and what he meant to the band and the country as a whole. As the talk progresses, the conversation opens into a fascinating discussion about Mikey’s own spirituality and enlightenment through his journey living with grief. Mikey’s words throughout the conversation are incredibly moving, thought provoking and surprisingly practical for our listeners to consider.
