RIP
RIP
Rest in peace, George Michael.
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
Sad news. Tremendous talent. Had the chance to see him in concert In 2008, great performer.

RIP. i'm sure there's more to this then just a heart attack.
this year has been rough with celebrity deaths, especially young ones.
53?

George Michael looked tired and drawn in these final pictures of the singer in September
The singer became increasingly reclusive in the past 12 months
His manager said it was heart failure. The virus he got in 2011 could have weakened his heart while at the same time had apparently smoked a ton of weed and used crack cocaine into 2014. Heavy drug and alcohol use can further weaken a heart to where it just gives out. Alcoholic induced heart failure can reverse over time as long as the person quits drinking or drinks very moderately.
RIP to a glorious voice and a troubled soul.

He's never gonna dance again. Not a fan but always thought the dude had a killer voice. When I first heard "Father Figure" on the radio I thought it was a new Prince song, I was blown away to discover it was George. Mad respect, rest in peace.
Did George Michael wake anyone up before he went-went?
Sorry, someone had to ask...
I'm going to just close I since I don't want to merge the other threads with these OT posts.

From "Fanboys" 2009.
A friend of mine just told me about this. I was never a fan and am not familiar with his material but she apparently was. Anyway, it's still sad when a talented musician(even a pop singer that most prog fans would stick their nose up at)leaves us. I just was never much into dance pop or top forty stuff and therefore never really heard much of his music. Michael Jackson and Prince on the other hand I did grow up with and was a fan(to one degree or another especially Prince). I think the only song I knew by George Michael(off the top of my head)was "wake me up(before you go go" Anyway, RIP.
How did you grow up with Michael Jackson and Prince and not know about George Michael?
Michael seemed to have purposely ditched the dance/pop star image by following up the very danceable Faith with Lw/oP, then he just fell off the radar altogether afterwards. I remember his video for I Want Your Sex creating quite a stir (of course its tame by comparison to what came later). Quite a few bitter breakup songs on Faith too, especially Monkey. Kissing A Fool is a minor jazz-pop standard masterpiece IMO.
