George Michael Dead - RIP

How sad.

Obviously a troubled soul but 53 years old is far to young to die.


Singer George Michael has died aged 53, his publicist has said.

The star, who launched his career with Wham! in the 1980s and later continued his success as a solo performer, is said to have "passed away peacefully at home".

Thames Valley Police said South Central Ambulance Service attended a property in Goring in Oxfordshire at 13:42 GMT.

Police say there were no suspicious circumstances.

Sad news indeed.

Obviously a man whose demons never quite went away despite him, on the face of it at least, having it all.

And he wrote some cracking pop tunes.

Hugely talented man and as is appearing more and more a very generous and charitable one, as with so many geniuses a flawed and tortured soul hopefully he's found peace.
Like Bowie and Prince his legacy will live on long after he's gone.

Shame really but I guess we all have to go go sooner or later.

And now Carrie Fisher too. Very sad.
