[D Walker]

Another one dies, what a year 2016 has been.

I'm so sad, love Prince but George Michael was on another level for me
As a Greek 2nd generation (like me) over here I looked up to him and was proud

My dad knew his dad well back in the 80s as they were both in the same industry

Wow! Clapham common will never be the same again!

RIP George!

2016 is having a big impact in not a good way

My girls have spent all day singing Last Christmas, they weren't wrong, 53 is no age for anyone.

Bloody he11, the lengths some of these artists are prepared to go to so as not to have to play at Trump's inauguration!

Our generation, whilst I wasn't a Wham fan I did appreciate his solo stuff, I don't think 2016 is finished even now...

 

[Contigo]

What a year! I suggest any aged Rock star go into hibernation for the next week!

We have lost Natalie Cole, George Martin, David Bowie, Prince, Rick Parfitt, George Michael, Lemmy, Greg Lake, Glenn Frey to name but a few in the Music industry!

Sad news, and far too young.

Though I have to say, if I was some kind of celebrity I'd be nervous as all h3ll at the moment.

 

[Wattie]

Very sad, great talent and voice.
Cheers and merry Christmas to all,
Wattie

Not a fan at all but it is very sad indeed.....Rick Parfitt and now George....This has been a bit of a year for celebrity's passing away. He was only in his 50's as well.

 

[midlifecrisis]

53! I thought he was older but still it's no age. I think heart failure is to blame.

 

[conaero]

I think heart failure is to blame.

...as a result of cocaine abuse, probably

Live fast, die young.

We walked in front of his house yesterday at 2pm. There was an ambulance car in his driveway and then a police car arrived. We had been fearing this news all yesterday afternoon and evening.
RIP

Great memories listening to Wham in school. RIP

Well, last Christmas is only really valid for this year, but he did give his heart, or did his heart give out? Sad.

 

[Wack61]

I remember reading about him falling out of a moving car on the M1 a few years back so it does make you wonder about his mental health

I'm really touched - "George Michael worked at a 'homeless shelter' but asked people to keep it secret" http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/george-michael-dead-homeless-shelter-anonymous-charity-work-a7497096.html

It's was less than 10 years ago that people would send each sick text jokes of a celebrity death, Michael Jackson was a prime example.
Now none, all replaced by other social media and the law of trolling!
