Rest In Heaven Sir. This year here.....

I can't.  Rest well, George.  Know that we loved you 

This year has been downright awful. For the man who brought us Choose Life and all those shirts worn by girls and guys.....I grew up with George Michael music...he will sorely be missed.

 

I love Wham!'s 'Last Christmas'...I had it on today. It's just too sad. Rest in peace, George. 

Lord...just so many of the artists I grew up with.

 

RIP

I just can't believe it, I know he had a pretty reckless life in later years, but never thought he would die so young. Definitely one of my pop idols growing up.

 

 

Start the year off losing Bowie and end it losing George Michael, [!@#$%^&*] you 2016

 

RIP George Michael

This was his final US top ten hit (peaked at #8 in 1996, but hit #1 in the UK for three weeks) as well as his final charing single in the US.

I can hardly believe it....

 

He had a lot of good songs.  Faith, Father Figure, Wake Me Up,  Careless Whisper...what a shame.   This has been a tough year for celebrities and music in particular.   In one year Bowie, Prince and now George Michael all checked out.  I thought Carrie Fisher was going to be 2016's last salvo, but the hits just keep on coming.  

I imagine most of the media focus will be on his coming out and personal struggles, but he was a very unique, charismatic singer and performer, and one hell of a songwriter. I'd say his strongest pop material was the first few years of his solo career, but I absolutely adore so much of the WHAM era, the pure bliss of that pop synth.

 

 

 

 

 

His video vanguard acceptance in 1989 with a memourable introduction by Madonna:

2016 couldn't take Carrie Fisher so it takes George Michael.

 

Damn it.

 

Such an amazing talent. So many songs. Loved him. 53 is so young. RIP

So sad

I admit I had a crush on him when Wham came out. Careless Whisper was a favorite of mine.

I thought he was cute with the blond hair.

He had such a good voice. Sang with everybody, the big muscical events like Live Aid, Freddie Mercury Tribute.

2016 can end now.
