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.

Kenny does NOT look 58, he has such amazing young hair!

I wonder if the whole interview will be available to watch after it airs on Monday?

I havent watched the Brits yet i dont think i can face it.

Fresta · 25/02/2017 09:18

Oh God, I wish he had stayed with him, things would have turned out so differently I think. I just noticed that when George was with Kenny he always kept his hair longer, rather than the close shaved style of his last few years, I wonder if that was how Kenny liked it? I preferred it longer too.

I love this photo of them, such a handsome couple and such genuine, natural affection.

Loving all these clips.

LoveMySituation · 25/02/2017 16:04

I agree Fresta, have been thinking about that recently. Especially as Kenny kept him from harming himself after his mum died. Am not saying that happened this time, but his life seemed on a particular path after they split. I suspect there was more to the Fadi relationship than meets the eye, I think Andros is right in what he says about him, and I think I'm right in saying they always lived seperately. Unlike George and Kenny. Does anyone know why they split? So obviously adored each other. Incidentely, I thought at the pneumonia time, the papers said Kenny and Fadi were both there, but he says they didn't meet. And I too love his hair longerGrin

BooMooLeonardo · 25/02/2017 16:25

^hasn't Andros has been shooting his mouth off about all and sundry when in fact he had been estranged from George for over a decade?

Sorry. Keeping thread back on track, here's the link to Rob's tribute.

LoveMySituation · 25/02/2017 16:32

Apparently so Boo, I suppose I mean I agree with him in a confirmation bias way. Some things will probably never be known. But based on what I've seen, Fadi seems er unusual

LoveMySituation · 25/02/2017 16:43

Thanks for that Boo, I've only ever heard him with Santana. Great version.

Fresta · 26/02/2017 10:51

Boo, that's a lovely tribute from Rob Thomas.

I really don't now what to make of Fadi. All the pictures of him and George together are quite old. I know he was a former porn actor and the rumours are that he was a rent boy.

I have been watching as I'd completely forgotten he did this. The video is great, George totally transforms the song and he has so much energy, I love the way he moves in this.

It's how he is behaving on social media that is strange IMO Fresta. Instinct too. It's all so uncomfortable

Fresta · 26/02/2017 17:54

I do think Fadi is getting quite a hard time in the press and on Twitter, he comes across as very naive and in some ways I fee quite sorry for him. The truth will out as they say. And I can't wait for it all to be over and George laid to rest. The papers aren't going to let it lie until then. I noticed there were more horrid rumours and gossip in the press again today- no wonder he hated The Sun!

There was a lovely story about him giving £99,000 to an Aids charity in Africa though!

Bit more of the Kenny interview. Can't seem to find the video of it though.<a class="break-all" href="https://www.google.co.uk/url?q=www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/Love-and-Loss-Kenny-Goss-Remembers-George-Michael-414928033.html&sa=U&ved=0ahUKEwiglLLC-LLSAhVLDMAKHe3eAZIQqQIIEygAMAE&sig2=x2xwlF0icg16JJU6jzMEbA&usg=AFQjCNEVCAwH8Sc-6FhniY0O_Mjg-ltQUg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Here

Why is it taking so long?

Fresta · 01/03/2017 16:45

love, I think the clip you posted is the entire interview that was aired.

Careless whisper came up as one of Linda Grey's tracks of my years choices on R2 this morning. She had some lovely things to say about him

LoveMySituation · 02/03/2017 20:15

Love this cover. I would never have guessed GM was a fan of IB

Fresta · 04/03/2017 07:57

Here's some home movie shots of George with babies.

It looks like the upcoming GM documentary is to be delayed for quite a while and rescheduled for later in the year. It doesn't surprise me. We still don't know what he died from and they haven't even buried him yet. A documentary so soon just wouldn't seem be-fitting.
It's just heart-breaking.
