    • Gately was naast Ronan Keating leadzanger van de band Boyzone, die met songs als 'No Matter What' en 'Words' in de jaren negentig succesvol was.

      In 2000 werd bekend dat ieder van Boyzone zijn eigen weg zou gaan. Gately ging in oktober 2000 solo en bracht hij het album New Beginning uit.

      In december 2002 speelde hij enkele rollen in theaterstukken zoals Joseph and the Technicolour Dreamcoat in het beroemde West End te Londen. Een jaar later ging hij de rol van de gemene Child Catcher spelen in het theaterstuk Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in het London Palladium. Daarna speelde hij Dandini in Cinderella en de vogelverschrikker in The Wizard of Oz.

      Na een bijna zeven jaar durende split kwam de groep in 2007 weer samen. In 2008 werd een Greatest-Hits album uitgebracht, getiteld No Matter What... Back Again.

      Privéleven

      In juni 1999 kwam Gately openlijk uit voor zijn homoseksualiteit. In 2003 werd bekendgemaakt dat Gately en Andy Cowles getrouwd waren. Het koppel woonde samen in Soho (Londen).

      Op 10 oktober 2009 overleed Gately op 33-jarige leeftijd tijdens een vakantie op Mallorca.

      Dear Andrew, family and friends
      Losing a dear person is very hard. In the beginning (1993) of Boyzone i lost my brother. It was you who give me hope to go on.
      You're personnality was very strong and you will be reminded that way.
      Now i'm 27 years old and i cried a thousand tears for you over 16 years. Your death is like a real ending of my youth.
      I'll never forget you. You have a place right here in my heart.
      Thanx for all the loving you gave, for the moments we shared and the happy times i spent.
