The Cheerios Childline Concert and MCD would also like to acknowledge the sudden and tragic loss of Stephen Gately who was a great supporter of the charity event. Stephen co-hosted the concert twice along with performing a total of 3 times over the past 11 years. We would like to extend our deepest condolences to Andrew Cowels, the Gately Family, Boyzone and Louis Walsh on their tremendous loss.

Childline, which is Ireland’s No.1 children’s charity, hopes to receive over €400,000 from 2009’s concert. In 2008 the event raised €400,000 and, to date, Childline has benefited to the tune of €3 million from the previous concerts which have been held annually since 1997 and have featured such acts as Westlife, Boyzone, Robbie Williams, Girls Aloud, The Script, Shayne Ward, Stephen Gatley, Enrique Iglesias, All Saints, Ronan Keating, Brian McFadden, Anastasia, Blue, Sophie Ellis Bextor, Five, Sugababes, Busted and many more.

"We are delighted to be once again sponsoring the Cheerios Childline Concert which has over the past eleven years become a firm favourite to concert goers of all ages. We say Welcome Back Westlife and we look forward to another great night in The O2 on November 18th" said David Carter from Nestle Cereals.

The Cheerios Childline Concert will be televised on TV3 on Saturday 21st November at 6pm.

All parties involved with the Cheerios Childline Concert are providing their services free of charge on the night including artists, organisers and The O2, Dublin.

Doors will open at 6.30pm and fans should note that no queuing will be permitted prior to 6.00pm.

Persons with small children are recommended to purchase balcony tickets. Persons under 18 must be accompanied by a person over 23 years of age.

We are, like everyone else, in shock today. We met Stephen Gately back in ‘98 when we first started out and since then have had the pleasure of meeting him many times. He and the Boyzone lads paved the way for us as a band. He was a friendly, positive spirit and a passionate performer. Our thoughts are with Andy and the rest of his family, his friends, his legions of fans and of course his bandmates Keith, Mikey, Shane and Ronan who will be devastated at the loss of a truly beautiful person.
