George Michael dead

[Steve in Japan]

That's a shock. The man was a huge talent, couldn't put a foot wrong in the 80's and 90's. RIP.

Fifty ****ing three...FFS
Talented guy.

 

[The Birdman]

Shit we got another week to go this year. RIP

Another one to be dressed up as a saint by mainstream and social media.

He had his faults and was certainly not a saint but an amazing talent.

 

[Jam The Man]

Absolutely gutted.
Started and ended the year losing musicians I loved so much in Bowie and now George Michael.

And regardless of his issues, he was a decent chap by all accounts.
My mate was a young cop who worked Live Aid, and George Michael spent several of his hours when not on stage, making tea for all the emergency service staff.

 

[Petunia]

Ruddy hell. What a rotten year.

RIP George x

 

[Tarpon]

Always loved this. Peak George from 96. Few songs warrant a nine minute mix. I'm always disappointed when this ends. RIP.

 

[Fred Oliver - Legend]

I feel 2016 still has some surprise for us. Let's hope her majesty gets through this cold.

I'd happily let the queen go if it means we can keep the princess.

Genuinely personally saddened by this one. A very talented man with many personal demons. I often 'joked' that one of the people I would aspire to be was GM, great singer, songwriter, lyricist and a very good looking man who could have had the world at his feet. I just wish that he had truly enjoyed his life more than he appeared to, RIP George.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Not my kind of music but a genuine talent, and he did some pretty good stuff. RIP. Both my daughters will be shocked and saddened.

I doubt it. Hopefully they will show respect for the singer/writer that he was but I don't see them trying to suggest he wasn't flawed.

Last Christmas for George.

This is shocking, 53. Bloody hell.

Unnecessary..........

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

People speculated the same thing about Prince but he died of an opiate overdose so perhaps not best to speculate especially based on an assumption about someone's sexual preference.

�� boo! Down with this sort of thing

[Cheeky Monkey]

Never! Shitting hell! Biggest shock of the lot.
