No word yet on when Trick Trick plans to collaborate with Boyzone, but surely its only a matter of time. The reformed-whether-you-like-it-or-not former boyband are hoping to break boundaries in the video to their new single 'Better' by partnering up gay member Stephen Gately with a male actor in a segment where his band mates are paired up with female actors for a love song style embrace. They reckon it's the first time a gay couple have been portrayed in a boyband music video, and they're possibly right.
Explaining the decision to appear with another guy in the pop promo, Gately told Radio 1: "For me, it's just me being me and I don't think there should be a real big issue about the whole thing anyway, I think it's just a beautiful video and I think it works superbly for the song. I'm hoping this video will have a good, positive, all-round reaction. I came out in 1999 and it was a big issue at the time and I don't think I could have done this video without having a guy in the video. I think it's important for me to be true to myself. The lads were saying, 'You've got to do this'. They were pushing saying, 'This would be fantastic'. It's the first of its kind. That's why I went for it".
