Seems like I'm the only one, but I actually couldn't give a toss.

Very sad, but if you live life on the edge - with drugs, then sooner or later it inevitably catches up with you.
So sad & taken too early

I don't think anyone would give a toss that you don't give a toss. So why tell us?
Of course you're not the only one who couldn't give a toss, and no one expects you to. You're just the only one who feels the need to announce that fact on this forum. The others at least have the sensibility not to.
So about eight years ago, me and a few of the staff of a certain live music venue in Tunbridge Wells, were standing there having a chat (it was mid-morning so we were probably meant to be clearing up or something), when in walked this dodgy looking bloke with a professional looking camera. "Erh, I'm from The Sun", he says, "the news desk got a call, George Michael has been seen asleep somewhere on the common, have you seen him?".
Alas, we hadn't. Though we did start singing to him: "w*nk me off, before you go go". His reply "I think we've already used that headline".

Always seemed to have a running battle with his demons , but an incredible talent and from what I understand a genuinely kind and modest man.
RIP George

Agree with this. A genuinely good man who wanted fame but never really learned how to cope with it.
is this the case? Sure he had a few flaws but they never struck me as being due to his inability to handle fame. If anything he seemed to enjoy his success and fame.
Sums it up for me, even though I wasn't a fan of his music. RIP.

Heard this late last night. 53. Mrs shoes absolutely loved his music. She was in bits last night. RIP George Michael.

His words not mine. "I enjoy being famous but wish I'd been born with the suit of armour that others have so that I could handle the other stuff'". I guess it doesn't really matter either way. As somebody else posted, it's clear he had his demons and although he has died ridiculously young, he squeezed much into those years and has left a musical legacy for the world to enjoy.
I think out of all the deaths this year this is the least shocking, its a surprise he made 53.
