George Michael

[Flowergirl14]

Amazing what you find when you're spring cleaning. My hubby would say I was a hoarders

I was a student and working in London at the time, heard Wham from my garden!

The very small snippets I've seen, the quality looks like it was filmed on a potato !

We were really fortunately. A friend of my dad lived next to Wembley and got us tickets. It was an epic day followed by not getting out of Wembley car park until nearly 3am to drive back to Hampshire. My mother, Nan and little brother spent the day in London sightseeing and when they got back to Wembley to pick us up, walked right in and watched the end of the concert from better seats than we had

You are so Lucky to have been there
and that your a Krustie and still a massive GM Fan makes me smile if not slightly jealous you saw him shake his beautiful behind in that Tassel leather jacket and high waisted trousers Live and Direct

He really was handsome (still is I think) but I never saw it when I was young. I was besotted with George and actively thought Andrew was very unattrative.

 

[Ladeepfriedmarsbar]

I think Andrew is lovely.

It's been on for twenty minutes and I can't stop being weepy. At the time, I was barely 2 years old. Such an odd feeling, all things considered.

Parkinson - Parkinson Meets George Michael

A candid interview in which pop megastar George Michael opens up on topics such as his childhood, his early musical career as half of Wham! and his arrest in Hollywood in April 1997.

www.bbc.co.uk

It's from 1998. Just after the LA police incident so it's a great snapshot in time.

I love how he could take the piss out of himself

 

[Grifters of the Caribbean]

How come he fell out with him?

Andros immediately went to the tabloids in 1998 when George was arrested and outed.

 

[Delia Smith]

That live version of Careless Whisper was stunning

 

[Carefree]

I was 3 so can't even blame my mum for that missed opportunity. But hey, at least your mother came round to the joy that is George

 

[Prince fan 1999]

I'm going to Highgate cemetery tomorrow to pay my respects. I hope I can find him. There's thousands of graves

 

[Flowergirl14]

Oh enjoy


I certainly did!!

This is the show I'm seeing on 3rd May with my daughter. Really looking forward to it

 

[Sammiejayne444]

My Mother had a Brother and Jesus to a Child never Fail to get me Balling lol
You were There and You Know ( love that song as well)

Outside will always be my #1 but One more try will reduce me to tears.

I'm a bit confused. First he was murdered and now you're saying it was an accidental overdose? He was addicted to many drugs for many years and was not a well man. A sad loss - one of the greatest songwriters and performers of all time.

I haven’t Mentioned him being Murdered Not Me,
Accidental overdose possibly and Agreed he wasn’t a well man for a long while
He was Amazing 🥲

 

[trouble-loves-me]

We must have been lucky when we saw it because it seemed to be mainly couples and small groups, no mega huns
My friend and I are off to see Rob Lamberti on Wednesday 6th December, ready for Last Christmas

I'm going to see Rob again in April, I'm amazed at how many shows he does, it's pretty full on isn't it?

Have a fantastic time!!

BTW, Wham fan from the start, my entire teens from start to finish, and my life til now in my early 50s have George as a soundtrack.
He is so incredibly missed

 

[trouble-loves-me]

Honestly some of the women are dressed up like they are waiting for the real George.
There's some proper Stans here.
We have seats just to the side of the stage and I'm going to dance all night

Do they have the CHOOSE LIFE tees on?! Lol

Find a Grave says that his mother Lesley and sister Melanie are located at Section 52095 - square 35, which is also where he is. This is in the western part of the cemetery. The latitude and longitude are 51°34'02.6"N 0°08'55.5"W.

I hope this can help!

Speaking of graves, I follow a guy whose YT channel is all about him going to them and paying his respects. He also has a channel reviewing all the air B&Bs and other places he stays in. I was surprised to find that on his latest video, the place where he was staying was George's house at Gorning.



The same guy also did a video a few years back and visited his resting place where Melanie and Lesley are as well.

I read this old interview with George over the weekend.
He did give great interviews.

George Michael: 'I'm surprised I've survived my own dysfunction' | George Michael | The Guardian

So bittersweet to read back with hindsight.

I think George topped himself as that’s why it was all so hush hush with his family and the funeral. Unfortunately I think he was in a very dark place during his last days!

You're acting like I don't have first hand knowledge of the industry. To say that you sell your soul is overly dramatic. You can choose to do that - nobody is making you do so. All aspects of the entertainment industry can be exploitative.

I was told he was dying, as I said. With George's beloved status in this county, media outlets decided not to make it public.

Sorry No, I’m not suggesting you have or haven’t knowledge within the music industry, I don’t know
And whoever told you he was Dying in my opinion was wrong, but again I don’t Categorically Know and Neither do You
Are You just goading people into an Argument? I hope not?
Can we agree to disagree ?

Ooh what's her real accent? It wouldn't surprise me if the whole yummy mummy persona is fake!
