RIP George Michael

Shares in Range Rover body shops are down.

And the local drug dealers will be short of funds

He did well to manage 12 months without a heart tho .....

 

[keithmac]

He had some catchy songs and a good voice, as said earlier the media wouldn't give him a break and were always out with the daggers trying to drag him under.

Whatever you think of the man 53 years old is no age at all and a real shame.

Apparently, he died of AIDS related problems. ( Source, "Le Monde" newspaper.)

It came as a shock to hear my wife say that he had died last night.

 

[Dayvo]

No age.
I remember being impressed by his wit and personality on DID. I might have a listen again later.

What an interview!

Intelligent, articulate, witty, modest, self-deprecating, open and painfully honest.

I hadn't heard GM speak 'normally' before and I 'saw' a side to his character and personality I didn't know about.

A tragic and much too premature loss.

This made me laugh, again, this morning. The first ever carpool karaoke.

Saw George's passing announced last night, I was very shocked.
RIP George.

The respective queens of GB (etc.), Norway and Sweden are all feeling under the weather, and they're all getting on a bit, too.

It does seem as if someone upstairs is planning one hell of a Royal Command Performance.

Its no different from any other year, and what about all the regular people who've died who you haven't drunk danced to their Christmas songs.

True, but those people haven't been a part of our lives in the same way musicians, actors, sportsmen/women and other public figures have.

While i hate Corden, that was funny TBF.
Never a big fan of Georges but he struck me as a mixed up guy but equally a genuine fella and i loved some of his later stuff, i assume influenced by his earlier brush with death.

I saw the off the cuff comment earlier, the roads might be safer now George is gone, well i'd rather see Corden banned for taking his eyes off the road for many seconds at a time while he's singing. Don't care if it is all contrived and he's got BBC cars in front and behind for safety....the sight of him taking his eyes off the road for that long is disturbing.

Probably filmed with car on the back of a flat bed truck, so you can stop worrying.

(I watched someone filming a car commercial like that)

Bowie, Rick Parfitt, George Michael ... They'll soon be able to reform Band Aid up there.

Apparently it IS filmed while he's driving ...well, according to the article i read before posting that.

Was it about this specific clip? Carpool karaoke he does in US definitely is, you can tell as he picks up and puts down passengers. But this clip did not look convincingly like he was really driving.
