Truly a shame, have not seen a cause of death yet, given his history of drug use and high risk behavior, cant say this is a surprise, still tragic, he was too young to die.
I didn't know this. He was a very talented performer. He can really sing. I still listen to Wham U.K. on YouTube. I remember the duets he did with Elton John(Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me and Wrap Her Up) and with Aretha Franklin on Knew You Were Waiting. Rest In Peace.
When he was in Wham U.K, his bandmates called him "The Wanker" because of his eccentric ways. Look at the videos like Edge of Heaven, Freedom and I'm Your Man and you'll see the bass player featured a lot in those videos.
Back when George was straight.lol Didn't realize he became a major pop star in his early 20s. He's 24 in this vid clip. RIP GM.
There was a misconception about fellow Wham U.K. bandmate leaf guitarist Andrew Ridgely being gay. Ridgely is straight but for promotions he had to pose with George Michael and that was how the rumors started to fly.
