3 threads on this forum seems confirmation enough.

R.I.P.

Some very good songs. Interesting character. Loved his pisstake video of Tony Blair and George Bush.

Very memorial songs and lot of talent. RIP.

Sad news, especially given how young he was.

At Christmas time when one of his songs from years ago has become tradition. Grew up listening to him and the ladies and gentlemen album was jus amazing.

Damn. 2016... And it's not over yet.

Is there something in the water?

Gone to the great public toilet in the sky

Spanish Eyes

OK folks, it is not about me, but just clicked on the thread.

Thank you for the confirmation.

What a 2016 it has been for deaths of great artists.

Anyone want to vote we end 2016 early yet? She is clearly out of control and no telling who's next

RIP George
I loved shoot the dog it was a great send up of his troubles

ronnie3585

**** that!

Damn you 2016!

Ursus Horribilis

It appears to be. It's a pity the guy's later career was plagued with drug problems and ill health.

His Last Christmas indeed.

Feckin hell.

Rip George.

Sad but not entirely unexpected.

Has there ever been a year like 2016?

(Thank fook Carrie Fisher is still here)

Anyhoo, he was definitely a huge talent, very troubled in later life. Definitely a music legend. Left a legacy of great songs and albums too.

A great talent and character. RIP

Plenty. And some far worse.

I actually liked wham and some of his stuff! I was just watching him on TOTP last night. Passed away peacefully in his home. Was he sick?

This story of his life is pretty hilarious

He's only a bleedin' bender!

Plagued with rumours and speculation about his sexuality I feel George had many demons RIP

Grid.

Jeez...that's a shock, what a crazy year!!:eek: R.I.P:(

Lia_lia

Ah, that's sad. Great singer/songwriter. Listened to him a lot when I was a teenager. Same age as my Mother too, scary.

PressRun

He hadn't been in the public eye in a rather long time. Seemed as though he may have been in ill health. 53 is quite young. A shame.

TheBully

What did he expect when he gave his heart away last christmas

JP Liz V1

He is never gonna dance again

RIP

What are you on about? He came out years ago.

You have no idea what he was like.

Last Christmas for George Michael may he R.I.P

Last Christmas I gave you my heart...this Christmas it stopped.

Is it still under guarantee?

RIP ,

This certainly is your last Christmas.

RobbingBandit

**** sakes, very sad to hear this.

Oodoov

Ok I think we've got the last Xmas jokes already.

MistyCheese

I can't fcuking believe it!! Yeah I know that's an overreaction in most people eyes but he was only 53. Unless later news declares otherwise and he turns out to have been in poor health for a while (like David Bowie) then it's quite a shock.

Pac1Man

Godammit!!

seamus

His heyday was a little before my time, but I remember really enjoying "Older" which is quite a feat considering I was a teenage metal fan at the time.

Sad news, but as said not entirely unexpected. He had not been in a good way for a long time. Funny the day he picked, here was me thinking how it had mostly gone without any big news.

I'd say 1914-1918 and 1939-1945 were a lot worse.
