George Michael dead 2016 go away

Clicky

I had "Faith" running through my head just last night. :-(

All the good ones are going, people. Hang on.

Last Christmas I gave my heart, but the very next day. you gave it awaaaaaay.... This year, to save me some tears. I give it to someone speciaaaal...

Oh, man... that's sad..

A.I.D.S. related complications?

Was my first thought but who knows, maybe he had a hell of a Christmas Eve party last night.

Just heard the news. Terrible. Especially this of all days. How poetic/ironic that his passing was on a day associated with one of his biggest hits. RIP.

-VIDEOGAME NINJA APPROVED-

This one surprised me. Didn't know he had some issues in the past as well.

R.I.P. George Micheal. :(

I hope he had Faith...

WTF, WTF, WTF (Utterly shocked)

R.I.P GM you were one of my most fav singer from 80's

Well, it's kinda sad that you'll never look at these two videos the same way again (the latter in tribute to his late lover Anselmo Feleppa):

And here's a pretty good cover of "Careless Whisper":

Followed by a cover of "Faith" that people may rather forget:

Worst year ever.

53 is way too young.

@commander:

So big in the 80's with Wham and solo.....lots of memories, Careless Whisper, Freedom, and Everything She Wants in particular

Sad to see him go. Way too damn young.

@n64dd:

Yeah, he was 2 years younger than me

I heard it was his heart. Wondering if we have another accidental death like Prince.

Very sad. I've seen George Michael jokes already. Which is really poor taste when the guy is still Wham.

RIP. aside from all the celebrity deaths, 2016 for me has been the saddest year of my life for personal and family issues as well and honestly I don't expect 2017 to be any better.

A shame for his family but really not an entertainment loss. Never liked his music and as far as I know hadn't created much lately of any merit.

I wasn't a BIG fan of his, but he had a few hits in the 80's that I love.....RIP GM!

He had an amazing following with women by the time of "I Want Your Sex" that died instantly with the bathroom incident.

Imagine the great year of 1984, Reagan was president, MTV was playing videos in full swing, David Bowie was in fine form, releasing an album on the heels of 1983's "Let's Dance", Prince releases the huge "Purple Rain" album and the movie, and George Michaels Wham releases 4 Top 10 singles and a big selling album. All gone in 2016.

Reagan and Wham sucked.

To each their own, just like The Cure

@LJS9502_basic:

Not saying I loved Wham, but at least a couple of their songs bring back great memories of that year for me (Prince much more so, I had the Purple Rain album, good stuff, talented), I voted for Reagan in '84, then again I was in the military, and Reagan loved us.

Oh yeah! I forgot to tell you, "Outside" is a response to the 1998 incident:

And the year isn't even over yet. :/

RIP....man, this year.....

Yep, its been a cruel year for most of these big stars. I think the ghost of Xmas collected.

This is particularly distressing to me as I met him in a public lavatory once in the 80's.

His most iconic song was Last Christmas. And he died on Christmas. It just gives the song a whole new meaning. RIP.
