I'm literally shedding a tear here, playing Last Christmas.
Heartbreaking that he should go on Christmas day.

Shocking news, never a big fan but an artist always around the radio during my life, only 53.

We watched George Michael live at the Palace Garnier Opera House, Paris, tonight. Fantastic concert, well worth seeking out on catchup. I don't think it's available to buy yet, but it's on YouTube.
RIP, George. We've lost yet another brilliant talent.

Thanks for this. My sister saw him play live in London about 5 years ago. Shortly after she told me it was one of the best nights of her life.
Incredibly sad.
