He had those massive issues with pneumonia a couple of years ago too.
I don't like Ent for his comment o ln the cocktail of drugs not working for HIV any more, he needs to get some decency. Stuff like that is private and the rumours will effect his family.
Actually I am disgusted with Ent.

One of my first memories of life (I was 4) was watching 'dat ass going back and forth - my mom and older sister dancing their booties off to "Faith" playing on MTV...

RIP George...

And go f*ck yourself 2016...

I loved him, this is awful.

See, I would have gone with Andrew

. I was obsessed with him to the point where my bedroom walls were covered with Andrew & Wham! posters. I remember watching the video for 'Edge of Heaven' when it was first released and crying as the clock ticked down for the demise of Wham!

Helen? Is that you?
I saw them at Leeds Uni because my friend wanted to go - I caught the shuttlecock from the stage & gave it to her. She was quite happy.

BBC are reporting "heart failure" and that the police are saying "not suspicious but unexpected" so fuck you entry "lawyer"....

This is insane. I can't believe this. 2016 has got to be the worst year ever...

We all know Enty is full of it. RIP, George.

Update from TMZ:

4:15 PM PT -- One of Michael's principal reps tell TMZ the singer had not been ill, and had been working on a Showtime movie of his life that was set to air in England next March.

Omg, what a shock. I woke up a little while ago and just heard about this. I can't believe how bad 2016 sucked. R. I. P. George

RIP George. I actually teared up yesterday when I heard this at Christmas dinner, from my daughter-in-law who haltingly read it off her phone, saying 'Someone named George..Michael..died??'

After I picked my jaw up off the floor (especially about his age), I explained who he was. I also later showed her pics of him from around 1988, and she said 'wow' and immediately understood my teen fanaticism.

And 53???? I want to know exactly how the beautiful man I obsessed over when I was 14, when Wham came on the scene, was only 5 years older than me. What.the FUCK????

2016, you've got 5 more days and I suggest you stand the fuck down. Now. Or take a Kardashian or something!!!!!!

I wasn't surprised. Just really sad. He was fantastic. I thought to back a little while ago, he was in hospital with pnemonia, I didn't think he would be around much longer. Just horrible. Love you George.

Looks like it was heart failure

Pop Superstar George Michael Dies of Heart Failure at 53

It probably was not, at least not by much, but it's people that WE grew up with knowing (about) that are beginning to die. There are websites with celeb deaths per year and sadly, I do believe there are even worse years than 2016.......
