R.i.p George Michael

George Michael ex Wham singer...has Died Christmas day aged just 53 years old of suspected Heart failure.



...another notable celebrity taken in what has become known as 2016 the year from hell!!

 

It has been a strange year alright - I reckon at least 20 celebs have gone this year

 

Oh Patsy we've lost way over a hundred this year......we lost 82 in just 4 months...

I said to Fabs this morning that we must have lost 25 this year, then I couldn't think of 'all' the names
so I changed it to at least 20 !
On the Express list, there are a lot of names I'm not familiar with, so I reckon 25 that 'I know' would be right
for me - weird year all round

 

This was awful to read, I loved his singing I agree on 2016 being the year from hell Holly in many ways it really has been RIP George. For those that don't know who he is/was, here is one of my fave songs/performances by him:

 

Father Figure is the one I remember the most hearing on radio and in the bars.. 1988 I think. I never was much of a wham fan

 

That was an equal fave of mine, maybe even more so, glad you posted it too. I was a Wham fan, but liked George's stuff, it was more grown-up I think is what I thought at the time Such a hunk imo, loved him.

 

Loved his music. RIP George Michael.

 

I never had heard of him either. I have heard of Boy George, it seems someone confused the two the other day.

 

Well see, you can learn something new everyday here at SOC!!

 

I reckon one of his biggest hits will also be his memorial forever...given that he died on Christmas day of a heart attack... the first words of this song...

Last Christmas I gave you my heart......
