Fox92 Posted 25 December 2016 Posted 25 December 2016 Good grief man. Such a popstar and wrote some good songs - I'm not a massive Wham fan but got their greatest hits. RIP
jonthefox Posted 25 December 2016 Posted 25 December 2016 What an insane year. Never really rated him as a singer tbh . My sister will be in pieces.
Jimothy Posted 25 December 2016 Posted 25 December 2016 Found the man himself a bit irritating and his exploits made him look a bit of a twat, making him the subject of many a joke. But he was a fantastic song writer and undoubtably one of the most gifted and successful recording artist this country has produced. 53 is no age either. RIP
MPH Posted 25 December 2016 Posted 25 December 2016 Shocked. Apparently it was NOT in suspicious circumstances.. was he sick? Cancer? Aids?

kyleolly Posted 25 December 2016 Posted 25 December 2016 I don't understand how a 53 year old man dies and it's not suspicious

Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 25 December 2016 Posted 25 December 2016 Listen to Father Figure and tell me it's not a stone cold banger. Proper talent.

urban.spaceman Posted 26 December 2016 Posted 26 December 2016 Very sad. Not the biggest fan but he had some good songs and can't be denied he had a profound influence on our pop culture for about 30 years. Even better he knew how to send himself up - his cameo as himself in Extras was just perfect and still makes me laugh. How ironic to write a famous song called Last Christmas and then die on Christmas Day?? This is looks like it's either drugs or suicide.

Mate come on, you could speculate about 1 million different diseases that could kill someone. Are you really trying to justify that post? I doubt very much it was malicious but if it was a straight guy would he have said it?

Isn't it known fact that gay men are at much greater risk of getting aids though? Must admit to not being particularly clued up but that's the impression I've always been under. In which case I don't really see anything wrong with wondering if he died of aids.
SystonFox Posted 26 December 2016 Posted 26 December 2016 Cue all the "2016 has been shit" posts and "I'm not saying that David Bowie was holding the universe together but .... gestures broadly at everything" cvnt nuggets out there. RIP Georgey boy. one minute it's last Christmas, the next it's WHAM Boxing Day and your gone. Never gonna dance again. Guilty feet have got no rhythm

I'm not here to slate people and go on some political correctness rant but if you don't understand something google it and most certainly don't stereotype people.
Leicesterpool Posted 26 December 2016 Posted 26 December 2016 Very sad indeed released some great songs over the years went very quiet from him the last few years which may indicate he was likely ill, too young to go. RIP George.

Ok well I just googled it and the first result is a website which describes it as a "gay disease" http://www.hivplusmag.com/opinion/guest-voices/2014/02/19/listen-hiv-still-gay-disease Further down the list a doctor says 24% of gay men in San Francisco have aids http://www.thebody.com/h/why-is-hiv-called-a-gay-disease.html/ The more I look into this the more reasonable the question appears.

I'm still none the wiser as to why it's wrong to wonder whether a gay man might have died of aids, but maybe this isn't the thread for a drawn out discussion

I went searching online to find out what had happened and one website said there were unconfirmed reports saying he had aids. And for your information, he was bisexual, not gay. He was also promiscuous- which lead to the speculation about aids. And prompted my question on here you do know men who sleep with women can get aids too don't you?
GaelicFox Posted 26 December 2016 Posted 26 December 2016 Really his own thread ? The world has lost all perspective ridicules

But it seems he did die of HIV/AIDS , And its well known he was suffering for years ! His greatest Shame was he could have put this aweful disease back in the spot light and helped raise millions and millions for research ! http://www.smobserved.com/story/2016/12/25/news/singer-george-michael-succumbs-to-hivaids-at-53-at-home-in-england/2421.html

separator Posted 26 December 2016 Posted 26 December 2016 His manager has said he died from heart failure, though how he knows that without a post mortem I don't know. Maybe he was with him when it happened.
