Confirmed by Sky news who got the news from ITV and Dannii's Twitter page.

More information about this:

1. There will be a much calmer mood during the show tonight, no music at the start, judges wont enter, the 3 judges wil be already sat down at the panel as show begins

2. Possibly no music at all

3. Simon to say a few words about it.

4. No Tribute to Stephen

I wonder how they will fill the show up then?

[Sam!]

Possibly no music at all :| wtf.

[MarkWaldorf]

As tragic as it is, I don't think removing all that is necessary :/

[Twilight]

No music wtf

[Christina]

Didn't think Louis would come

[Locke.]

But Louie is the best one

Um, have I missed something? :S

Stephen Gately has died

I argee with the calmer thing and Simon saying something,but what people need is a bit of cheering up,they need music,not a sombre show. I remember the day after MJ died,the guy at our hotel was like 'Take That should cancel all their shows!' and it's 'Like no,you have to be respectful but you don't need to make people even more upset'.

By no music at all do you mean no group performance, no bottom two performances, no recapping of the numbers etc or do you mean just no music to accompany the opening of the show and Dermot entering etc?

Either way it's awful. I completely understand Louis not being there as it's very tragic but to be fair not continuing on with the show as normal is ridiculous.

The woman said I think that no music will be played (by that I mean the guests songs), originally Robbie was supposed to sing a Boyzone song, but its been cancelled... positive that means no songs from Robbie or Alexandra tonight.

[Sam!]

I thought Robbie would have been singing Bodies surely.

[Tom]

Dermot with a black background before the titles saying "due to a story you may have heard about in todays press, Louis cannot be here. For the rest of the contestants and judges, the show goes on", then queue the dramatic last night preview then the show as usual

Keeping it calm just takes it away from the show, its supposed to be very dramatic and theatrical and its sad he's died but quite frankly he had nothing to do with the show whatsoever (apart from appearing with Eoghan last year) so I don't see why the show should be affected

WTF...

I'm probably sounding extremely unsympathetic but really what's even the point in watching the show tonight if they'll be none of what was advertised?

I think the way I heard it was no music at the start like normal, no guest perfomance and no group perfomance.

Seems to me only the bottom 2 will be done.

lol.. It means when the program starts there will be no start music and the 3 judges will be already sat at the table, plus Simon will have a small say say...

Then it will be back to normal.

He was, but by "orginally" i meant after the death was reported. So he wa ssupposed to "Bodies" then he was suposed to do a Boyzone song but just now its been revealed that there will be no tributes and the Robbie performance will be cancelled.

Both are singing tonight and keeping it to the normal script.

Great, so not only do we have to wait another night for the Results Show but now after waiting nothing that was advertised will be appearing. No point tuning in till the last half hour then really.

I mean it's very sad but there's no need to go to extreme lengths like this...

[MarkWaldorf]

I still think it'll all happen. No offence to Stephen, but it isn't so much of a tragedy that a whole show has to be cancelled. They still have an hour to fill regardless. Alexandra has been in rehearsals all week and I don't think they'd cancel that. Aside from Louis, he has no relevance to the XF so it won't be needed.

[Iceman]

I know Louis will be upset and all but this seems a bit extreme to me to do all this...
