That's another reason to watch. A bit of George might help my anxiety chill the duck out. Shaking isn't it.This would be lovely after tuning in at 9pm last night 🫣. Thank you
George on a Sunday night is a great tonic 
I’ve been twice. He’s really good. Sounds very like him but defo doesn’t really like him. It’s a great night out!
Oh George. I know I'm preaching to the choir but God, he is/was such a delightful beautiful man. Not just externally but internally.
Watching this program I knew George was extremely generous but he really was a one off. An absolute diamond.
As I woman of a certain age I can put a Wham / George Michael song to every part of my life
I was absolutely gutted when George died and still am
At least once a week I have a 'Oh George' moment to a song , picture , video of his.
There will never be anyone like him again

He secretly paid for a lot of medical procedures for people which the NHS didn’t cover, such as breast cancer treatment. And never publicised it.After all the Yog adoration in the Secret Celeb Gossip threads, I think it’s time the man, the legend, got his own thread (let’s face it, he’s more than worthy of one!)
I’ve been a fan of his since the early 90’s as I grew up listening to both him and Wham! My favourite solo album of his was Listen Without Prejudice.
He was a fantastic artist, an incredible human being, and was the first to have a laugh at himself. One of my favourite videos of him is where he’s refused entry into his own concertI can’t think of an artist since who can take the piss out of himself and kept it real as well as George did.
He is so, so missed
There is a great interview somewhere alongside Morrissey where GM, affable as usual, happened to tell the interviewer that he was a fan of the band Joy Division. They were totally confused as had assumed he just favoured cheesy pop IRL and I suspect Morrissey was put a bit out of joint too as he wanted the monopoly on seriousness.
Eta: here it be
As cover versions go he absolutely knocked this out of the park
Waiting for the Fast Love to start

I was very young when the shuttlecocks down the shorts thing happened, but I can very vividly remember watching TOTP and my Mum abruptly changing channel, looking at my Dad and saying "He's not wearing any pants, that's absolutely disgusting". Me being me (and about five years old and obviously very innocent!), I spent the next half hour going "But how do you KNOW he's not wearing pants, Mum?" and being solidly brushed off.
A few years later, I read about the shuttlecocks in Smash Hits and asked her why on earth anyone would put shuttlecocks down their shorts because I just didn't get it. I was not given an answer.
If W.A.P had come out when I was a kid, my Mum would have locked me in a cupboard. I'd probably still be in the cupboard now, come to think of it.
What a great evening. I have a sore throat and my feet hurt.
And the dubious honour of being the first person to dance in the whole theatre he sang I'm your man as his second song and I can't sit still for that

This song. omg.
It’s a pop song, he didn’t have to make it that HAWT but he did

I am sober as anything and yet my eyes started leaking watching and singing along. Bloody onion chopping ninjas 
This song was one of my favourite moments from The Final
I bloody adored his Outside and Freeek music era too , and kicking about in the pinstripe suit and the goatee. He was giving no ducks and was filth , we love to see it 
Aww yes!!!I bloody adored his Outside and Freeek music era too , and kicking about in the pinstripe suit and the goatee. He was giving no ducks and was filth , we love to see it
I really love Outside. The song and the video are amazing in their own right, but the cultural impact! He’d just been outed and the press clearly wanted him to feel ashamed, and he just went, “no, I’m going to have FUN with this”.
I honestly think that video is one of the most punk rock things to happen in popular music.
