it's true ronan was the face of boyzone...but stephen was second in line coz unlike keith,mikey and shane,stephen was made one of the main singers alongside ronan.he DID have an identity but like somebody mentioned earlier,it was under the shadow of the bad as a whole...he was thrust into the limelight after his being gay came out into the open causing the band's popularity to hurtle downwards and people began to blame Gately for being the root cause.
