I just wanted to start a thread where fans can share their favourite things about George. Share video links, lyrics, rare footage. Tell us why you liked him. Have you met him? Share your memories. Anything really.

Please, no speculation about how he died here.

I bloody worshipped him from being about 12 years old. I remember liking Wham! music and hearing it at a youth club I went to, and then one day I saw his picture in my dad's Daily Star and it was LOVE! It was 1984.

I've just shared this clip on another thread, I think it's one of the sexiest performances I ever saw him do, I love the dance moves in this.

Good articles thank you people.

Rednailsandnaeknickers · 14/01/2017 17:19

Some wonderful links, thank you. I absolutely loved the Aretha duet and still do. I think a lot of people at the time pigeon holed him as a "pop" singer and dismissed his real vocal talent but nobody could watch/listen to I Knew You Were Waiting and not acknowledge that he was very, very talented with a great voice. He puts so much real emotion into songs, I always felt.

LoveMySituation · 14/01/2017 22:35

OverByYer · 14/01/2017 22:40

I love him singing and boogeying with Mary J Blige

And the bar is full of George's looking the best he ever did.

OverByYer · 14/01/2017 22:45

I still can't believe he's gone Sad

LoveMySituation · 14/01/2017 22:52

Nor me over. It's taken me by surprise how its made me feel. He was so humanSad

LoveMySituation · 14/01/2017 22:54

Destinysdaughter · 14/01/2017 23:56

I read Bare years ago, was v interesting but can't believe stupid prices on Amazon now! Sure it will be reissued now he has gone

Destinysdaughter · 15/01/2017 00:47

Not that he biggest George Michael fan. But liked him, But they are holding a tribute, in a bar, 2 weeks time, on my birthday, so going, with a group of girls, bet it will be a scream,

Fresta · 15/01/2017 09:54

Lucky me, I still have my original copy of Bare which I got for Christmas when it was first published. I also have Older, which is another biography and quite a few magazines which I have kept with interviews in. I also have a Wham! annual from 1984. Maybe they will be worth something in the future- not that I could part with them.

LoveMySituation · 15/01/2017 17:58

Wondering though why the mum is dressed up as in the 1940's at the start, George wasn't that oldGrin

TSSDNCOP · 15/01/2017 18:38

I went all the way to Brighton to see the very first Wham tour, the one where they wore shorts and put shuttlecocks down their shorts. I would have killed to be Shirley.

I saw George when he guested at an Elton gig after they'd duetted.

Thanks for the music George, you coloured in the background of my teens.

LoveMySituation · 15/01/2017 20:13
I like the moment right at the end
CeeBeeBee · 15/01/2017 22:39

Loved the Jonathan Ross interview. He was asked some very intrusive questions about sex and money but George handled them very well.

LoveMySituation · 16/01/2017 18:25

Agree ceebee, just a sweetheart
