R.I.P. George Michael

2016-12-25 by SandwichBubble | 90 Comments
Ex-Wham! member George Michael has passed away according to his publicist. He was 53. According to police, there was no suspicious play involved and Michael "passed away peacefully at home."

While the artist's more popular work involved Wham!, he also sported a successful solo career after the group disbanded in 1986.

This is the hardest rip this year by far. He never made a bad song and his album "older" is a masterpiece. God rest a fine voice in contemporary music

Damn. Saw Limp Bizkit cover Faith last week (I know George hated the cover and hated them for doing it but still) and heard a cover of Last Christmas just yesterday. Unfortunately rather than say "fuck 2016" I'm just going to have to say 2016 is just the start. The next few years will see a LOT of celebrity deaths.

Well Carrie Fisher's still in intensive care (although thankfully stable) and the Queen of the United Kingdom has a "bad cold" which has made the whole country panic.

Dont like pop music in the slightest but my Mother has been a huge George Michael fan since ive been alive. Shes gutted. Dont care for his music but was clearly a superb songwriter who evolved from his boybandish beginnings. I liked the way he didnt seem to give a fuck either and coming out as gay when he did. Hard RIP for George.

he died in his sleep of heart failure
