Wake me up, before you go-go...
Thank you, I'll be here all week.
But seriously, condolences to his family and friends.

Or headed underground. What really intrigued me was the Queen's Speech this year. When has she ever defended Christianity in her fair isles?
RIP.
I'll never forget waking up in a hospital room after an emergency operation and seeing Wham's 'Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" video on the television.
I got laid to his music in the '80s. I was a fan of Wham! His solo work? Not so much. But the girls loved it.
Takin' a Look, the queen would do well to wonder about the future of Christianity in England. Muslim majority will not have a Christian queen, all royal holdings seized and off with her head. Princes that are heir to the crown will have to seek elsewhere to live.
...and all the famous actresses I lusted for as a teenager are now old hags. When hackers leak nude celebrity photos, it's never anyone I've ever heard of.
@4 Rarely it would seem, even though it is part of her job title. Fidei defensor.
@7 I hear ya' Dave, with the exception to the Scarlett Johansson leaks, that was just one of the greatest gifts to mankind that I can remember.
It was his Last Christmas.

Ask not for whom the bell tolls....
The Sun went Down on George Michael. What? Too soon?
And the SJWs on Twitter are already incensed anyone would speculate HIV/AIDs had anything to do with his passing. Like that is a crazy conclusion to come to about a guy who was literally caught sexing strangers in public and described himself as a "Dirty Filthy F*cker".
And on the other hand, acting like gay men of his age dying in large numbers due to drug and alcohol reasons is any less damning..
Drugs are bad, people.
Anonymous gay sex in public bathrooms; also bad.
I feel like there's something we're not being told here.
Or is it just common unsaid knowledge?? Did he have AIDS?
Was he into promiscuity??
Well, it figures somebody else had to join Bowie and Prince for 2016, though GM was not quite up to their stature. It's always threes. (No, I can't really count Glen Frey. When Henley goes, it's serious.)
Seems to me September of 2003 was the worst month: Warren Zevon, Johnny Cash and Robert Palmer in 23 days.
13@ I remember when my friend told me Scott Weiland died, "what did he die of" my friend just start laughing. Let's just say that we don't need Holmes on the case here.
This REALLY Old Fart says: I knew who he was, but just never cared. I would never have wished death upon him, but now that he's gone, all I've got is a "meh". If he died unsaved, then I really DO feel badly for him.
@16
people are framing 2016 like such a terrible year...but in my mind, it's the year critical mass of boomer musical icons croaking began. Can't say as that seems like a bad year...
"And the SJWs on Twitter are already incensed anyone would speculate HIV/AIDs had anything to do with his passing"
I literally haven't thought about him in years, but the first thing that popped into my head when I heard this was HIV/AIDS.
@19 NateM, We don't really need to lose my musical heroes through death, but I DO wish that many of them would just stay home, shut the hell up, and let us listen to their old records.
the first thing that popped into my head when I heard this was HIV/AIDS
Without a doubt. I'd bet my fortune on it.
@22, If your fortune is a large as mine, you stand to lose about 1,500 Federal Reserve Notes. Not all that much, eh?
@21 I'd tend to agree. I like the old stuff myself, but they'd be a lot more tolerable if they didn't have to thrust themselves into the public eye with political statements all the time. I don't celebrate the death of a person (though don henley might be an exception), just the death of baby boomer cultural hegemony. Once a lot of them start to croak, it'll be just like the greatests talking about Sinatra being so great, or Lawrence Welk, more clear they are just grasping at straws of the past.
He wasnt wasting away any time recently.
2 of my favorite singers in the same year, Bowie and George Michael.

Didnt see any news that he was wasting away. Plua hes rich. it would be ahoxking if its AIDS.

Admittedly a fair bit of sarcasm in that line ...

The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on.
What, exactly, would constitute a suspicious circumstance in the modern world?
Drug addicts don't live long. RIP.
Many of these 'icons' (merit is debatable) would like to be out of the popular eye at times. The more degenerate, the more they invite exposure, and top players veer towards Machiavellian tendencies.
Nothing new there - unless it is merit based on achievement and beneficial to society, we don't care.

Yah. He probably had so much shit to deal with physically he decided to snuff himself. Drug users develop serious neurological debilities as they age.
As long as the death was not imposed by others, authorities
turn a blind eye. There are things you can take that just put you out.
Somewhere, somehow, Andrew Ridgeley is quietly snickering- who gets the last laugh NOW, bitch-!
Well, his song "Jesus to a Child" was about a male lover of his that died of AIDS/HIV in the early '90s. If he didn't contract the virus from him, it's probably some sort of self-inflicted method of drugs. Quite sad, really.
God bless. I enjoyed his music; it was pleasant and made me think. His behavior was degenerate, but anyone can come to Christ and I pray that he did. Amen.
His friends tried to wake him up before they left to go out dancing. I guess he's going solo.

you can say that again.
Boomer solipsism, it's going to get worse before they all die.

what's suspicious about a rock star doing a Michael Hutchence?
Coke is the first thing that came to my mind.
This is possibly the drug of choice for self-euthanists:
A deadly drug, which has been banned from the battlefield under the Chemical Weapons Convention and is being blamed for a spate of drug overdoses in the United States, can be easily bought over the internet for just a few thousand pounds, it has been revealed.
Twelve Chinese online businesses said they could export carfentanil – a synthetic opioid which is being cut with heroin and other illicit drugs - at just $2,750 (£2,233) to the US, Canada and various European countries including the UK, an investigation by the Associated Press found.
Carfentanil is the most potent commercial opioid in the world, according to the US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).
Its chemically similar cousin fentanyl is up to 50 times stronger the heroin and carfentanil is 100 times stronger than fentanyl itself.
Before being discovered by drug dealers, carfentanil and substances like it were viewed as chemical weapons. Assistant Secretary of Defence for Nuclear, Chemical and Biological Defence Programmes between 2009 and 2014 described the drug as a “weapon”, adding “companies shouldn't be just sending it to anybody”.
A lot of casual users are getting snuffed in these parts because of this stuff. The silver lining is that they still have organs that are good enough to use as transplants. A lot more needy people are being serviced.
From those according to their ability, to each according to their needs, yes?
RIP. Here one minute, and the next, wham, you're gone.
Somewhere, somehow, Andrew Ridgeley is quietly snickering- who gets the last laugh NOW, bitch-!
Not at all. He and Ridgeley remained good friends to the end.
My wife has assumed that George Michael likely died from HIV/AIDS complications. I'm not so certain. I know that the anti-retroviral meds can keep you alive indefinitely. However, these meds work by inhibiting RNA synthesis, which is essentially accelerated aging process. So he may well have died from this complication.
If I'm correct, the death rate of HIV+ individual will sharply increase in the next 5 years or so due to this factor and we will hear all about it via the media.
Guy was extremely talented. I enjoyed his solo stuff. Grew up in the 80s before gay was a common thing and still thought he was, we'll, pretty gay. Sad.
When I saw this I thought ''there's a Chuck Tingle reference there''...
RIP. It was his Last Christmas. He's never gonna dance again, but keep on brothers; you got to have faith.

50lbs of cocaine & 40 of meth not suspicious.

Gays using Truvada Prep (costs$1500+ per month to taxpayer or insurance companies) instead of condoms will be having kidney/liver failure in mass a decade from now. It also doesn't protect against anything but AIDS. Drug resistant AIDS came into the US this year thanks to the HIV travel ban being lifted, as soon at that hits the bathhouses it will be the 80s all over again. Although this time they can't say white people are not working hard enough for a cure.
OT: Too funny, shitlibs, black and brown people getting into doomsday prepping, solar/wind power because of TRUMP, making threats to get whitey.

I'll let you put the puzzle pieces together...
I like Wham for unusual reasons:their records are a secret treasure trove of absolute world class Bass playing.
Deon Estus, the man responsible for these Bass parts, was a student, protege and successor of the great James Jamerson. Wham and George Michael would never have had their success without him.
Looks like the Broncos playoff hopes are going to die on Christmas day as well.
Remember kids, died of "the flu" is the phrase the media uses when they don't want to admit somebody died of AIDs. It's also one of the ways they hide AIDs related deaths in the statstics as not-AIDS deaths.
A talented and tormented man. I hope he met the Lord before he died.
Aids doesn't even exist it is a scam you can't die from antibodies to a virus
I thought about him yesterday after watching the movie "Keanu". In that movie there is a running GM joke throughout.
He was a great vocalist and talented musician. May he RIP.
a great performer and underrated songwriter. Last Christmas is so ubiquitous, but the song is truly a masterpiece of songwriting
Was he a sodomite?
Aids doesn't even exist it is a scam you can't die from antibodies to a virus
Ah, but you can die from T-cells getting hijacked and killed.
Strange timing and grossly under-reported imho.:He was a helluva great singer- the silly faggot; maybe he fell in w/MILO and got ...?
!Velvet Mafia!

I'm not promiscuous so it doesn't affect me; i even ask my new g/f's to get checked w/me. they love the responsibility and way i'm looking out for "our" health. In a way it's true- way all need to be tested for HPV, gonorrhea STD et al. It's a good foundation for a long term sexual relationship and good for our health. Luckily i've never had a girl come out with "i've got the Clap."
Anyways- my gay friend swears he thinks AIDS is a hoax and a conspiracy to sicken and kill homos and iv druggies.
Long story short: he has me convinced- NONE of these awful things happening these past years was accident....it's ALL meticulously planned n executed.
@56- according to some, you could drive a semi in his asshole and out his mouth without slowing down, so yeah.
and He died of Pneumonia. Hmm... Roll-Aids NEVER die of pneumonia, do they?

It would be. If it was Nik Kershaw.

Well, there was Jennifer Lawrence. But she got all prissy about it, which was weird because she became a star from being underage hot in Winter's Bone.

Boomer? a 53 year old in Gen X. Prince could go either way (born in '58). Bowie was definitely boomer.
@60 Just to pile on; he nearly died 'of pneumonia' in 2011 as well. He caught pneumonia and needed special treatment in a hospital and barely survived then, when he was only 50.
While pneumonia is very dangerous, you don't expect people to die of it at 50 or 53, not when in a country where antibiotics are available. It only happens that way if they are immune-comprised.
Like say, if they've taken loads of drugs throughout their life and have drug-controlled AIDS. Say.
It's funny how music can take you back. Whenever I hear Wham it's like I'm a kid again, playing Dig Dug at the skating rink... and wishing someone would put on a different song, maybe Ghostbusters or some Michael Jackson.
RIP George nevertheless.

IMO what made Wham was Careless Whisper, and what made Careless Whisper is the sax riff. And that's Steve Gregory.

So it used to be right wingers who were the crackpots holing up with guns and living off the grid. Now it's democrats.
Can you imagine what happens if the United States government failed?
Can you imagine how many solar panels I would be selling?
He had a lot of talent and a beautiful voice. He had the ability to see and appreciate beauty and pursuing it was central to his life. There was something of God in him, even if he went to great lengths to conceal it. I prayed for him this morning even though the decision has already been made. Perhaps Mary will show him mercy.
Plenty of awful diseases to be picked up in public toilets and the strangers there in. Many could be fatal to a compromised immune system being pumped up by a complicated cocktail of expensive drugs.
It's one of those things where you just feel a bit old all of a sudden.
I won't say that I was huge fan of his work because I wasn't but his music was so ever present when I was young and had a whole life to look forward to. His songs and voice were part of the background of my youth.
My youth is gone at this point and George Micheal's death drives that one home.
He was a talented musician who suffered from the curse of being a talented musician.
While it seems unlikely to me, I hope he found his way to a gentle darkness. Rest in peace George Micheal.
Talented man, destructive "lifesryle".
As a kid of the 80s, feeling that little bit older with this news...RIP

The boomers claim everything from 1946-1964. That doesn't make it true, but that's what they try to claim.

I thought it was a nail gun.
He gave millions to charity. If there's an afterlife, then I trust that his good deeds will light the way for him ..
The Road to Hell is paved with virtue-signallers.
So it used to be right wingers who were the crackpots holing up with guns and living off the grid. Now it's democrats
I suspect they will change their minds when told wind power doesn't work in cities, I doubt many would be willing to move out past Haitian cheese pizza delivery range.
Can you imagine what happens if the United States government failed?..Can you imagine how many solar panels I would be selling?
And not having to pay taxes on them, oh wait do they still give tax breaks for solar panels?

That's why gays in Fresno are suing to have sex on the little league field.
Having a big problem here caring if George Michael is alive or dead.

even if i thought you could buy salvation, Michael only made his donations because he was trying to assuage his guilt ...
which renders the whole sacrifice as being made with ulterior motives anyways.
Was he a sodomite?
True or not, that is common knowledge.
@81
Ditto.
Music always sounded like the group's name was Wham!-in-the-butt.
Anyways- my gay friend swears he thinks AIDS is a hoax and a conspiracy to sicken and kill homos and iv druggies.
I'm of two minds. On the one hand, the science is clear of how a virus can kill T-cells and ruin the immune system. On the other hand, faggots tend to do lots of drugs and we should really just let them die and not spend so much money on them.
"He had a lot of talent and a beautiful voice. He had the ability to see and appreciate beauty and pursuing it was central to his life."
That's not what the Fucking Idiots at The Daily Stormer say:
http://www.dailystormer.com/grids-faggot-george-michael-finally-dead/
George Michael was a fag, and AFAIK a liberal, if white, so likely cucky. He would have approved of white women being like this, I predict: https://goodbyeamericainaphoto.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/bbwseeksbbc.jpg?w=620&h=620
May worms painfully devour his corpse.
