Gareth Gates career

In February 2002, Gates finished second to Will Young in the inaugural season of Pop Idol. After putting in an audition with Flying Without Wings, Gates advanced to the next stage of the competition. Even though he didn’t win, Simon Cowell quickly signed him to the BMG label.

A cover of “Unchained Melody” by Gates became his debut hit and peaked at number one on the UK Singles Chart. The song was selected for 2002’s The Record of the Year by ITV viewers, and it went double platinum in the UK.

“Anyone of Us (Stupid Mistake)” was the next number-one hit to chart. His third song, a duet with Pop Idol winner Will Young called “Suspicious Minds” and “The Long and Winding Road,” a double A-side, also peaked at number one.

“What My Heart Wants to Say”, his fourth single, peaked at number five. What My Heart Wants to Say, Gates’s debut album went on to sell 100,000 copies in its first week and peaked at number two on the UK Albums Chart. It eventually became double platinum in the UK.

October 7, 2002, was designated as International Gareth Gates Day by Smash Hits magazine. Gates and The Kumars performed the 2003 Comic Relief charity track “Spirit in the Sky” together.

The next single off his second album, Go Your Own Way, which was released in October 2003, was “Sunshine,” which peaked at number three.

Say it Isn’t So, his subsequent song, peaked at number four in late 2003 but was Gates’ last to be released in the UK until April 2007.

He performed an arena tour of the UK at the beginning of 2004. After that, he traveled around Europe and Asia to promote his CD. After that, he took a hiatus and trained with the McGuire Programme to become a speech coach and course instructor.

There were rumors in 2003 and 2004 that Gates’ record label, BMG, was dropping him. At the time, Gates and the record business refuted the rumors, which also mentioned poor sales of his second album and concert ticket sales as contributing factors. Afterward, in April 2006, Gates was fired by the label prior to the publication of any new songs.

Whatever Happened To Gareth Gates?, an ITV1 television documentary from 2006, explored Gates’ experiences in the music business as well as his life outside of it.

Gates replaced Warner in July 2012 for the UK run of the musical Legally Blonde. He performed in the musical Boogie Nights on tour at the beginning of 2013 alongside Andy Abraham, Shane Ritchie, Louise Lytton, Chico, and members of The Osmonds.

For the ITV2 documentary The Big Reunion, it was revealed on December 27, 2013, that Gates, Dane Bowers (from Another Level), Kenzie (from Blazin’ Squad), Adam Rickitt, and Kavana will be joining forces to form a “supergroup” dubbed 5th Story. The newly formed group embarked on a tour as part of the Big Reunion Boyband Tour in October 2014 after the program.

In a 2016 national tour of Footloose, Gates played the role of Willard. Throughout the tour, he took a number of breaks, and Lee Brennan filled in for him.
