I’m getting snacks and drinks in and watching the whole thing while pretending I’m 12 again. Can’t wait for the Quo to kick it off in half an hour! Anyone else gonna watch?

Oh George why aren't you still alive 😭

Wait.... what?????? OMG I totally missed that he died. 😳

beguilingeyes · 12/07/2025 23:11

Been dry eyed so far. George is making me weepy.
Quite good on the old Joanna is Reg isn't he?

Tudorduxbury · 12/07/2025 23:11

Freddie, Bowie and now my beloved George. All gone too soon ❤️

I was 15 and George was my total teenage crush.
And that voice. Christ, it's all getting a bit emotional here at muddling towers. 😢

What’s Andrew saying to Kiki we wonder?

Appalonia · 12/07/2025 23:12

WE NEED A NEW THREAD!!!

JaneJeffer · 12/07/2025 23:12

What a voice he had

murasaki · 12/07/2025 23:12

Its been a bit of a tear jerker watching George and Freddie hold the audience in the palm of their hands.

I'm struggling to guesstimate how much marching powder Elton is on.

I reckon he said, “He’s killing it.”

Carriedoesntlivehereanymore · 12/07/2025 23:13

This version was not the single that came out - that was from the Freddie tribute concert, where he also sang Somebody to Love. Please correct me if I’m wrong!

piscofrisco · 12/07/2025 23:13

@MeringueOutangyou will be agog when you learn that he died on Christmas Day then.

Sorry, just saw your post!

springintoaction321 · 12/07/2025 23:14

Elton looks like Naboo from the Mighty Boosh. And his ears are none too comfortable 🙃

mateysmum · 12/07/2025 23:15

I saw George live on the Faith tour, he was fantastic. His voice makes me shiver. Gorgeous George, so missed.

Wow. I was just saying to DH yesterday after watching the documentary that it was really altruistic of Wham to basically do the Band Aid Christmas song, knowing their own Christmas song wouldn't have a hope of getting to number one.
I just looked this up and saw he was a casualty of 2016.

Evenstar · 12/07/2025 23:16

2016 was a terrible year

🤣🤣🤣 oh yeah, Can definitely tell that George & Freddie both ‘dress’ to (their) left
🍆🍆

piscofrisco · 12/07/2025 23:17

My most favourite story about George is that he made sure Andrew was added on the writing credits to all the Wham songs so that he would always be financially looked after 😭

HauntedBungalow · 12/07/2025 23:17

How on earth did you miss it? Were you trapped down a Chilean mine?

BlueEyedBogWitch · 12/07/2025 23:17

2016 felt personal. All of my heroes, one after the other.

Looking at what’s happened since, I wonder if it was a sheep/goats situation and they got beamed up before the shit storm kicked off.
