@@Workingclasshero368 Yes I loved the 70's music as well. I am so luck to have been born in 1966, so I could experience the best music. I was just to young to hang out with my older cousins.
I am 65 and i never had interest in his personal relationships as much as his creativity humanitarian, music and gracious charities.I loved his music and always hated the persecution people projected in judgement.I cried when he died ..he was a great love in hearts. Today most artists are boring and lack creativity ,so many great artists from our time have passed but leaving their art to enjoy.
I just don’t understand how his sex life, the most private part of a person’s life, was anyone’s business!!! He was an outstanding musician and that’s what the world should remember him as! Rest In Peace GM
When you are putting it out there on display for the whole world to see and hear about then it becomes your business,e specially when you break laws. He wasn't private!
He didn't put it out there, the media did to make money and sell papers, etc. If it had happened to you or I, there wouldn't be a story told and we would be able to address an embarrassing and personal situation without it going around the world for consumption and judgment.
Whatever his personal life, there’s no denying that George Michael was an incredibly talented artist. He was a pop idol who brought so many singles to no.1 and then moved onto ballads and covers from some of the world’s top artists. He was an icon and had the most beautiful voice and produced some wonderful albums. He may have been a victim of mass media and passed away too soon but his name and amazing music will live on. What a magnificent legacy he left us with.
@@AlaineSuzanne No, he was talented. I'm not usually a pop fan, but his dance songs were among the best ever. I couldn't ever stay sitting when the DJ began spinning a George Michael song during the decades that I used to go out and dance. He had It.
@@AlaineSuzanne So exactly how would you define talent? Personal taste is irrelevant when it comes to recognising an artist as being great at what they do. There are many singers,painters,authors etc who I would not classify as being amongst my favourites but that has no reflection on their skill or expertise.
I saw this title and wanted to comment. I knew someone in the early 2000s who was one of MIchael's sound people. He had a private plane for his entire crew; none of them flew coach. He paid them very well, treated them well - I got to see him (comp tickets from my friend) not long before he died. His show was fabulous- he voice was still strong and he performed 100%. I cried when I heard he died because he was one of the Good ones; he was always lovely, courteous, smiling - even though those who didn't know him exposed some embarrassing moments of his that would have destroyed most people, he did his best to answer journalists' and talk show hosts' questions about his personal life, never getting angry or acting defensive. He just grinned and bore it with a lovely smile. I won't watch this video. I really don't want to dig into more dirt than I know about him. I'll keep my nice memories of his gorgeous, smiling face, and keep dancing to FAITH. I'll leave this dirt for someone else.
@@silviaalatzia3413lol lol loln😂😂😂😂😂 thought it would of been aids that would of got him, lying down with his own gender it’s unnatural vile he was a fake fraud lying to his FANS making out he was straight he broke a lot of womens hearts he’s a fake fraud lying down with your own gender is disgusting not normal he’s a botty boy nothing more
It freaking pisses me off when some people are more concerned about someone’s sex life instead of just admiring them as phenomenal musicians. It is none of our business!!!
@@shonabeggs4640It was all said in court. Not a secret. But some people just use it - videos and so on - to make money because they can't do anything great and remarkable.
@@shonabeggs4640 Those particular incidents may warrant questioning,but you’d be intellectually dishonest if you think those particular incidents motivated everyone to all of sudden question his sexuality because I dare say,they were in his business also prior to those episodes.
It was a shame that George Michael didn’t want to do a world tour with Queen. He was just as good if not better in vocals department than Freddie. Maybe that was 1 of the factors not to do it.
Oh how shameful to not recognize the complex, haunting genius of this beautiful soul. The hateful slander of George's character & personal choices will never ever diminish the gift of who he was in life❤❤❤ Cowboys and Angels literally saved me during sad and dark times. I thank God for his genius and I believe George and the angels are singing in heavenly 🕊️ peace❤🎉
I always had a crush on George Michael during the 80's-90's My best friend Jenny loved him. Had a t-shirt with his face on it and a pillow case. She knew all of the words to every song 😢 I miss them both. RIP Jenny & George
When we found out George Michael was gay - we were so happy that he was so happy. We were innocent little tweens and thought he was happy! When I grew up and understood what gay meant to George I was still happy for him. ❤
We're all human beings we all make mistakes in life , I miss this man so much and so many wonderful memories of his music ...a wonderful man ...a legend! ❤
What I love about George is his beautiful smile, when he smiles you can see the light and warm of the beautiful country of his origin. Rip dear George 💗🌹
Beautiful man and too honest for this world. Much respect for his integrity, music, beautiful voice, and charitable works. He has touched many lives. ❤️🎶❤️
It was George Michael's birthday just a couple of days ago on June 25th, he would have been 61 years old. Happy heavenly birthday George! We miss you!! ❤️
Wonderful writer and performer. He did so much good for others during his life. Very few stars can hold a candle to him. It’s with great sadness that he died alone but he will still be remembered for his great music.
George was an amazing artist. He was gorgeous. He was so uplifting. His voice was golden. Thank you George. You really, really stand out in the most wonderful way. Thank goodness we can still listen to your beautiful music! ❤
It is a shame that record companies are so predatorily corrupt. Using talent and giving zero back to the artist that made them millions. RIP George; your music lives on and your talent never forgotten ❤
I am a straight man, and if a gay man wants to cruise , meaning have casual sex, it is precisely non of my business or anyone else's, who are these people that think they can pass judgement on others.As an adult you have total freedom to choose your own pastimes.
@@MarleneWalker-su8ku True enough... but there are likely to be difficult consequences to a life of hedonistic sex, whatever the sexuality. It's risky behaviour.
@@TheMockatiel not about the money. He was not allowed to own rights to his own music. Thats the predatory behavior I speak of. The record companies are not usually the creators, the artist is.
George Michael wrote , produced and sang lead on all of his songs. His voice was powerful and very soulful. He admired the voices of people of color and their Gospel style. I was in my early 20's when I first heard of WHAM and immediately loved their music. There remains no male vocalist that had his range or style. The day he passed a little of myself died as well. I saw him once and he was very kind. George Michael will never be forgotten. His memory and music will live forever.
Wow, I didn't expect to burst into tears when I clicked on this video. Thought I had become used to the idea of George Michael's death. But no. Reliving not just his death, but the struggles and challenges he faced in life, is really heartbreaking. Especially as he had survived the pneumonia that almost took his life, only to succumb to death a few years before. He was such a wonderful person with a huge heart. I hope George Michael is remembered for his generosity, kindness and courage as much as for his incredible talent.
People once in their lives must have sang Careless Whisper and Last Christmas every year... A legend making people sing his songs decades after they were released...
Listen to George's music back in the 80s and still doing it today. What a blessed soul . He was sent to this planet to bless us with his beautiful voice. Who are we to judge his personal life. May his soul continue to rest in peace 😊
Jesus to a child is the most beautiful song George EVER wrote. To this day nothing has been more reflective and emotionally driven than that one. It STILL makes me cry. And my second is cowboys and angels. Just wow!!!!🎉❤
“Round here” is an underrated song. An homage to his mother and for me, it Captures the appreciation for my mom, and the gift of life she gave me. Beautiful song.
Beautiful man, beautiful voice, beautiful music, he had me with wake me up b4 you go go. I was in love the 1st time I laid eyes on him. Rip George, we love you, you'll never be forgotten.
I know he was a star… but he was just as huge as Micheal Jackson or Prince.. this man made some of the most iconic songs EVER!!.. Timeless masterpieces
George did so much for music and culture. It’s such a tragic loss that he is no longer here. I loved and grew up with his music throughout the 80’s and going forward. It’s hard to remember that he’s no longer here and that so many great people from that time are gone as well. I miss those wonderful people, may they rest in peace. 🥲🕊️
Fame took too much from George. He became a reclusive person. His legacy lives on 🙏🏼💖the “Choose Life” Tshirt wasn’t about famine etc it was about suicide prevention and awareness. Rip George fly high Angel 🙏🏼💖
im 52 and liked some of his songs but this is literally first time i hear him speaking and boy i love how he stands his ground during that interview until min 33
I'm the same age as you, with the same vague interest in George and oh man the way he tears strips off that reporter is equal parts admirable and frustrating. Her questions were just sleazy tabloid baiting. I really respected the way he held his ground, too
You can say whatever about George Michael, but one thing we can all agree on is that he was a beautiful soul, through and through. Charity after charity, he was always giving. His generosity was and still is, legendary. My heart still aches for losing him so early even to this day. Rest in peace.
It was a horrible year losing so many precious people passed away. But dear dear George it was like being punched he was a beautiful person inside & out. Miss him to this day r.i.p. God bless precious xxxxxxxx
Nothing Mad or Bad about George, I have nothing but gratitude for the amazing songwriter , musician and incredibly talented work, wow what a great singer and all round decent person he was. Nice video thanks for posting ❤
I was fortunate enough to have been born in 1968 which meant my whole teenage existence was the '80's and I grew up with everything that period entailed. I miss it more than anything.
1967 here. I liked the beginning of the 80s up until '83. After that I really, _really_ disliked it. At least the mainstream music and films. Too corporate and digitally clean for me. GM's music wasn't my taste at all but I thought he was very talented and a nice guy.
Listen without Prejudice is my favorite album by George and my favorite album in my whole collection. I listen to it straight through from beginning to end and am always left wanting more. RIP singing Greek...
When I learnt about his sexuality it didn't make a difference to what I feel about him.. His marvelous voice continues to enchant me.. And to be fair he was breathtakingly handsome..
George Michael was one of the greatest artist ever. Such an amazing voice, writer and producer. Imagine going from Wham to the album Older which is in my view one of the best albums ever. His sex life should never have been made anyones business, and George unfortunately spend to much of his life trying to explain himselves, what the press and people should have been told was to fuck off, listen to the music or not, but some just get obsessed with the drama. Gone way to soon, thats for sure.
Please keep your opinion to yourself because If you think Wham made one of the greatest album ever then you know nothing about music. Wham was weak, anemic and musically bankrupt . 80s trash
@edward - showing your ignorance. You obviously didn’t understand the comment. He said going from Wham to his album Older which was a solo album and a masterpiece in my opinion. You obviously don’t know his music yet you think you can judge him on it and tell others to keep their opinions to themselves. Listen to your own advice!
I knew him personally and can say I never disliked anyone more. He was a narcissistic bully. One of his favourite pastimes was outwardly shaming women. He did it because he could, because he was a star. He'd make a nasty comment about someone, then look to his friends to share the laugh. George Michael could be extremely vicious and hateful. Andrew, on the other hand, was a gentleman. Kind, generous and sweet, Andrew was forever trying to be his best self.
@@TheSecretChateau What you are telling me is truly shocking and totally at variance to the received wisdom. I guess that every human must have a dark side ? Maybe you should write a book ?
@@jamesdean1143 I first met George Michael at a party. Delighted to see a long missed old friend (also named George) I laughed and waved with happiness calling "George! George!" out to him. Initally I didn't see GM, who thought I was some sort of silly Wham fan girl and sneering, mimicked my 'George George' in a loud high pitched childish voice, getting all his hangers on to laugh at me. My friend George came to hug me and said loudly "Ignore him (GM) he thinks he's special." When GM heard this and realised I was referring to a different George, he turned red with embarrassment. He automatically hated me on sight. Because we moved in the same circles, I saw GM frequently and he was always nastily cruel to me. It was childish. His sister was always lovely, as was his close friend (and pretend girlfriend) Pat. Shirley of Wham was nice but aloof with shyness, and Pepsi of Wham was genuinely the sweetest person I'd ever met.
I miss him so much!! Van't believe it is almost 7 years since we said Goodbye. George, you are an Icon... You have been loved. So much... I pray for you
I’m 59 and remember his career via his music, the media when the internet and social media hadn’t even been ‘invented’ Last Christmas was just Christmas. Hearing it in shops was just part of the 80’s He came into the 🌏with nothing and he went to heaven with nothing It’s so sad what happened Christmas 2016 🏴🏴🏴🏴❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
This broke my heart. George is still one of the most captivating and iconic men I've had the privilege of having in my life. Forever missed and totally loved. God bless him, may he rest in peace❤😢
This video really touch my heart …I remember my ex boyfriend took me out one night near convent garden at the time this Club was exclusive … where we met with more people and going there with another celebrity (He Man) forgot the name now…. Then at this particular Club … I think called BROWNS …. IN there I found myself sitting almost next to him just one other person sat between George Michael and myself! Wow I was surprise … I honour the brief moment I shared that night with my boyfriend and hid friends , I was very young then. He is very special still to me and my mother. I was very lucky . I am Colombian living here in uk London .thank you for this beautiful presentation.
No one’s sex life is anyone else’s business. Period. He was a good, loyal friend, a loving child and sibling. He was also the beautiful soul who donated millions to charity, quietly and without any fanfare. Such a loss to the world. RIP George. ❤
GEORGE MICHEAL IS NOT HURTING ANYONE ....SO NONE OF YOUR FREAKIN BUSINESS....I DO ME & YOU DO YOU.....GOD BLESS THIS AWESOME MAN FOR SHARING HIS MUSIC WITH US ALL......THIS IS OUR CONNECTION HE GIVE US....END OF STORY.....REST IN BEAUTIFUL PEACEFUL PARADISE❤❤❤
It’s sad he has to use terms such as: “cruising”…. It makes me angry he had to defend who he slept with and when. So rude and disgusting… straight people have “one night stands”, all of the time and she was incredibly rude. Hope she’s no longer working in entertainment.
@@daynasafranek7807 Cruising is a common term used amongst gay men. Why does it make you angry? What should upset everyone is how he could have sex with over 3,000 men! It was beyond gross and he heard it from many family and friends. He alone destroyed his life.
@@AmericanWoman1👍🏼I think he was quite sinister,.I wonder how many young men he exploited coz of his fame,. Unassuming young men could’ve, might’ve been infected with lord knows how many diseases🤮
I loved him. I absolutely loved him. He was a great talent, and no matter what song he sang, his voice was beautiful. I miss him & wish he were still here. He's one of the greatest losses, to this very day!
Such a talented and beautiful person. The press should be ashamed of how they treated George Michael.
The older I get the more I love this guy. We miss you man.
same here
Did you know him well ?
Fuk yeh. George Michael forever
Seriously! Grew up grooving to wake me up...and now to revisit and see SO much more of this amazing persona...
@VictorHeive-kg7kkthere is a lot to know if you watch the video
Great music NEVER gets old. The 80's was the best decade ever.
No way! The 70s has the best music, you can’t compare this to the punk, reggae, funk, etc, that emerged in the 70s

Kind of like the parades that straight people have letting everyone know they are heterosexual. Crazy isn't it?
Another telling others what we should like or dislike.

That pneumonia was a warning.
I wondered if he had hiv and why he had pneumonia a couple of times and other health problems, and why he turned to drugs...gone to soon anyway.

The thing I most admire about George was his honesty. Both as person and an artist. ‘A different corner’ is my all time favourite.
A different Corner is out-of-this-world.
My fav too.
One of the absolute heavyweights of the pop stratosphere & yet another top English songsmith to the very core.

You’re rich and famous with no actual power base of your own is a problem.

Jesus to a child is the most beautiful song George EVER wrote. To this day nothing has been more reflective and emotionally driven than that one. It STILL makes me cry.
And my second is cowboys and angels. Just wow!!!!🎉❤
I love the song Father Figure & Careless Whisper. Those 2 songs I can name in 2 notes when I hear them ❤❤
@@CatalinaFOIAnever forget “wake me up before you go go,.don’t leave me hanging on like a yo yo”😀such great unique genius lyrics
YESSS!! That whole song 'Jesus To A Child', omg.
Oh daddy by christine mcvie....
“Round here” is an underrated song. An homage to his mother and for me, it Captures the appreciation for my mom, and the gift of life she gave me. Beautiful song.
Beautiful man, beautiful voice, beautiful music, he had me with wake me up b4 you go go. I was in love the 1st time I laid eyes on him. Rip George, we love you, you'll never be forgotten.
I love his music & thought 💭 the media really showed the absolute worst of him.
Handsome guy loved his younger version
George was a beautiful person, inside and out.❤❤❤
I know he was a star… but he was just as huge as Micheal Jackson or Prince.. this man made some of the most iconic songs EVER!!.. Timeless masterpieces
George had so many more great songs than Prince. I don’t think Prince was that huge .. MJ of course was
@@Debbie-m7f HA! 😄
I been a fan of him since I was 13 years old he had such of beautiful soul
George did so much for music and culture. It’s such a tragic loss that he is no longer here. I loved and grew up with his music throughout the 80’s and going forward. It’s hard to remember that he’s no longer here and that so many great people from that time are gone as well. I miss those wonderful people, may they rest in peace. 🥲🕊️
I will never, ever get over the passing of George and Princess Diana. When they died, my youth died too!
@@Toonces666princess diana was with dodi not George
@@Marthawendy-sz2mk Yes, I know. I just meant of my generation, the deaths of Diana and George Michael hit me the hardest.
@@Toonces666 🌹❤️
@@Toonces666me too.
Miss him. He sure was and will always be gorgeous and so talented. Xx❤❤
Beautiful man indeed. He sparkled. Love his confidence and his responses are just eloquent despite unfair and uncalled for adversities.
He was a magical being, miss him always, George Michael rest in peace. 🙏🤍🕯😍🥰
Salute and respect him.
He is so sincere, direct and a nice bloke.
Sadly. He had left us.
Rest Happy , George.
Fame took too much from George. He became a reclusive person. His legacy lives on 🙏🏼💖the “Choose Life” Tshirt wasn’t about famine etc it was about suicide prevention and awareness. Rip George fly high Angel 🙏🏼💖
Weird that he committed suicide.
@@SkabanisHuh? He died with heart issues!
@@SkabanisAnother bot !
@@Toonces666I thought he died of aids
im 52 and liked some of his songs but this is literally first time i hear him speaking and boy i love how he stands his ground during that interview until min 33
I'm the same age as you, with the same vague interest in George and oh man the way he tears strips off that reporter is equal parts admirable and frustrating. Her questions were just sleazy tabloid baiting. I really respected the way he held his ground, too
We are missing what heaven has gained ❤ a beautiful angel ❤ thank you for the music and for you George 🙏
Sadly, i didn't 😢 @AnnaRaymond-gm4fu
You can say whatever about George Michael, but one thing we can all agree on is that he was a beautiful soul, through and through. Charity after charity, he was always giving. His generosity was and still is, legendary. My heart still aches for losing him so early even to this day. Rest in peace.
It was a horrible year losing so many precious people passed away. But dear dear George it was like being punched he was a beautiful person inside & out. Miss him to this day r.i.p. God bless precious xxxxxxxx
True gentleman, phenomenal song writer and artist….. rest easy George 🙏🏼❤
Nothing Mad or Bad about George, I have nothing but gratitude for the amazing songwriter , musician and incredibly talented work, wow what a great singer and all round decent person he was. Nice video thanks for posting ❤
What a gorgeous, gentle, talented and kind soul.
Best artist in the world....his lyrics, music, he wrote himslf....always will be remembered as a humble human being. ❤ love you George!!!!!
Ladies and gentlemen an evening with George Michael…..
I do believe extremely underrated he was genius and had a beautiful soul
I was fortunate enough to have been born in 1968 which meant my whole teenage existence was the '80's and I grew up with everything that period entailed. I miss it more than anything.
Same!!!
Born in 73, just not the same now is it?!
I was born in ‘68 too.😊
1967 here. I liked the beginning of the 80s up until '83. After that I really, _really_ disliked it. At least the mainstream music and films. Too corporate and digitally clean for me. GM's music wasn't my taste at all but I thought he was very talented and a nice guy.
Id go back to the 80s and ,90s in a minute. Such great times
Truly miss this man. His music and beyond. His music is iconic and always will be.
Listen without Prejudice is my favorite album by George and my favorite album in my whole collection. I listen to it straight through from beginning to end and am always left wanting more.
RIP singing Greek...
@@glenntremblay5406 Yes a wonderful album of music from the great man.
Nothing short of a masterpiece
When I learnt about his sexuality it didn't make a difference to what I feel about him..
His marvelous voice continues to enchant me..
And to be fair he was breathtakingly handsome..
Such a great singer! Definitely miss ❤❤❤
VERY SAD..... the TALENT in every way RIP
George Michael was one of the greatest artist ever. Such an amazing voice, writer and producer. Imagine going from Wham to the album Older which is in my view one of the best albums ever. His sex life should never have been made anyones business, and George unfortunately spend to much of his life trying to explain himselves, what the press and people should have been told was to fuck off, listen to the music or not, but some just get obsessed with the drama. Gone way to soon, thats for sure.
Please keep your opinion to yourself because If you think Wham made one of the greatest album ever then you know nothing about music. Wham was weak, anemic and musically bankrupt . 80s trash
@edward - showing your ignorance. You obviously didn’t understand the comment. He said going from Wham to his album Older which was a solo album and a masterpiece in my opinion. You obviously don’t know his music yet you think you can judge him on it and tell others to keep their opinions to themselves. Listen to your own advice!
George was so much more than the Wham music. You clearly have no idea.
@@ChloeR-vt4bhhe certainly was👀👍🏼
Shows how still our society is fucked up and unperfected.
Yet we still have good people, hope & FAITH in the best.
RIP Great Man❤❤❤G.M.🙌
George Michael, thank you for your music, your voice, your kindness and your courage. You live through your music and example. Miss you!
Never heard a bad word, from anyone, about George.
I knew him personally and can say I never disliked anyone more. He was a narcissistic bully. One of his favourite pastimes was outwardly shaming women. He did it because he could, because he was a star. He'd make a nasty comment about someone, then look to his friends to share the laugh. George Michael could be extremely vicious and hateful. Andrew, on the other hand, was a gentleman. Kind, generous and sweet, Andrew was forever trying to be his best self.
@@TheSecretChateau
What you are telling me is truly shocking and totally at variance to the received wisdom.
I guess that every human must have a dark side ?
Maybe you should write a book ?
He was a rotter
@@jamesdean1143 I first met George Michael at a party. Delighted to see a long missed old friend (also named George) I laughed and waved with happiness calling "George! George!" out to him. Initally I didn't see GM, who thought I was some sort of silly Wham fan girl and sneering, mimicked my 'George George' in a loud high pitched childish voice, getting all his hangers on to laugh at me. My friend George came to hug me and said loudly "Ignore him (GM) he thinks he's special." When GM heard this and realised I was referring to a different George, he turned red with embarrassment. He automatically hated me on sight. Because we moved in the same circles, I saw GM frequently and he was always nastily cruel to me. It was childish. His sister was always lovely, as was his close friend (and pretend girlfriend) Pat. Shirley of Wham was nice but aloof with shyness, and Pepsi of Wham was genuinely the sweetest person I'd ever met.
Sounds like he let getting famous go to his head. His ego took over
He was just so beautiful and I think people were just jealous of him because they couldn’t be him ❤❤❤❤
He was a very handsome man
Yea, I guess you're right. So many people are jealous and just try something to drag down someone they are jealous of... Sad thing
@@universaleducationsystems2722NOT quite as handsome as Elvis🥰😜
@@Marthawendy-sz2mklol
Thank you for the memories and the music. Rest in peace George 🙏
I miss him so much!! Van't believe it is almost 7 years since we said Goodbye. George, you are an Icon... You have been loved. So much... I pray for you
A stunning talented inteligent man, with a beautiful voice and a kind soul. Thank you George for everything 🙏🏻🌹🎶❤️
I just can’t stop saying how beautiful he was and he was just a really sweet guy and I will always be in love with him ❤❤
Complicated guy. Great voice & song writing talent. Unfortunately, things didn't end up too well for him.
I’m 59 and remember his career via his music, the media when the internet and social media hadn’t even been ‘invented’
Last Christmas was just Christmas. Hearing it in shops was just part of the 80’s
He came into the 🌏with nothing and he went to heaven with nothing
It’s so sad what happened Christmas 2016
🏴🏴🏴🏴❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
I can’t go a Christmas without listening to it. It isn’t Christmas, without it. I am 50, and still remember those times as though they were yesterday.
Everyone passes of heart failure you die your heart stops he had htv wales
This broke my heart. George is still one of the most captivating and iconic men I've had the privilege of having in my life. Forever missed and totally loved. God bless him, may he rest in peace❤😢
I will always have a special place in my heart for Yog ❤❤❤Georgios Panayiotou rest easy my sweet soul
That was brilliant that someone wrote Wham on the place of impact on the Snappy Snaps shop😂
British humour at its finest. It brought a smile to my face.
Really? Is this the only thing you take away from this whole video?
It was completely his business what he did sexually. His generosity with his wealth was appreciated❤ I'm sorry he didn't live a longer life😒
This video really touch my heart …I remember my ex boyfriend took me out one night near convent garden at the time this Club was exclusive … where we met with more people and going there with another celebrity (He Man) forgot the name now…. Then at this particular Club … I think called BROWNS …. IN there I found myself sitting almost next to him just one other person sat between George Michael and myself! Wow I was surprise … I honour the brief moment I shared that night with my boyfriend and hid friends , I was very young then. He is very special still to me and my mother. I was very lucky . I am Colombian living here in uk London .thank you for this beautiful presentation.
What a wonderful memory! I’m so glad you shared it! It must’ve been amazing and probably incredibly exciting/scary to sit so near him. 😊❤
@@daynasafranek7807
Si tienes razon a mi me Daba nerviosa. Y exciting. 😄
Greatest singer of all times❤
No one’s sex life is anyone else’s business. Period. He was a good, loyal friend, a loving child and sibling. He was also the beautiful soul who donated millions to charity, quietly and without any fanfare. Such a loss to the world. RIP George. ❤
GEORGE MICHEAL IS NOT HURTING ANYONE ....SO NONE OF YOUR FREAKIN BUSINESS....I DO ME & YOU DO YOU.....GOD BLESS THIS AWESOME MAN FOR SHARING HIS MUSIC WITH US ALL......THIS IS OUR CONNECTION HE GIVE US....END OF STORY.....REST IN BEAUTIFUL PEACEFUL PARADISE❤❤❤
It’s sad he has to use terms such as: “cruising”…. It makes me angry he had to defend who he slept with and when. So rude and disgusting… straight people have “one night stands”, all of the time and she was incredibly rude. Hope she’s no longer working in entertainment.
Beautifully put RIP George💕💕
@@daynasafranek7807 Cruising is a common term used amongst gay men. Why does it make you angry? What should upset everyone is how he could have sex with over 3,000 men! It was beyond gross and he heard it from many family and friends. He alone destroyed his life.
You are hurting others when you have sex with thousands of men and share diseases with them!
@@AmericanWoman1👍🏼I think he was quite sinister,.I wonder how many young men he exploited coz of his fame,. Unassuming young men could’ve, might’ve been infected with lord knows how many diseases🤮
I loved him. I absolutely loved him. He was a great talent, and no matter what song he sang, his voice was beautiful. I miss him & wish he were still here. He's one of the greatest losses, to this very day!
He is the musician i miss most. His music fills my heart regardless of seasons.
He was so handsome ❤️
George Michael was an amazing artist. He had a phenomenal voice and he was also a musician and composer.
Born in 1959. Loved the 80's. What a great time. Then came the big disease with a little name. But still...80's rocked. Loved my big hair.
Flu?
