A Spanish judge has closed the official investigation into the death of Boyzone singer Stephen Gately. It was concluded that he died of natural causes.

The 33-year-old was found dead at his holiday home in Majorca in October 2009.

The post-mortem examination revealed the singer suffered pulmonary oedema - an accumulation of fluid on the lungs.

Boyzone recently announced the release of their first song since Gately's death, entitled Gave It All Away. A physical release is due in March, but the song has already been played on radio.

The video for the song also features archive footage of the late star and his band-members, intercut with newly-filmed scenes of the remaining members who sit down and try to write a letter to Gately.

The track features Gately's vocals, which were recorded last summer.

A new album, 'Brother' will be released on March 8.
