Gately "tragically died" on Saturday while visiting the island of Mallorca, the band said in a brief statement. The cause of death was not immediately clear.

It said Gately was staying on the Spanish holiday resort island with his partner, Andrew Cowles, and that other members of the band would fly there on Sunday.

The Mallorcan won his first crown of the All England Club and halted Federer's run to five consecutive titles in the process.

"Stephen tragically died whilst on holiday in Mallorca yesterday," the announcement said.
