Shocked RIP can't believe it

Very very sad. George Michael was a vibrant, outspoken and marvellous entertainer. He will be really missed.

I'm worried for the Queen. She's not at all well.

Total fan. Loved Wham! even though I was a late 90's teenager.

RIP George x

My 14 year old self is heartbroken, loved Wham & Loved George Michael. Wham provided the soundtrack of my youth.

Kissing a fool is one of my all time favourite songs and his Praying for time album is outstanding. RIP George Michael.

listen without prejudice was on my CD player nearly every day when it was first released - soul free and freedom were my favourites. He had a soulful voice, made every song sound effortless. I didn't go to any of his concerts or ever met him, but I was sad to hear he had died.
Its been a bleak year for losing those in the public eye.

Sad about gorgeous George.

The cause of his death is irrelevant. Sympathies to his nearest and dearest.

Being realistic, people, some of them wonderful, will die in 2017 too.

Heroin overdose I'm hearing??

I'm less devastated if that's true! Here was I, believing 53 year olds do just die in their sleep. Heroin?!!? Less sympathy now.... if true*

Horrible post. Horrible Angry

Less sympathy? Disgusting

It always sounded like an overdose as he hadn't been dying and was suddenly found dead. The fact that the family weren't as shocked as I would be if my husband was suddenly found dead, and weren't saying it was unexplained and they were waiting for a postmortem made it sound as though they suspected he had killed himself either accidentally or intentionally.

So sad. Still breaks my heart. RIP gorgeous George

ForalltheSaints · 17/06/2018 08:19

I went to Highgate Cemetery a few weeks ago, and was reminded of his death as there is a notice advising you cannot visit his grave as it is in a private part of the cemetery.

They probably get bombarded by fans wanting to see his grave... some folk have no boundaries!
