George Michael (born Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou; 25 June 1963 - 25 December 2016) was an English singer, songwriter and record producer. Known as a leading creative force in music production, songwriting, vocal performance and visual presentation, he is regarded as one of the most significant cultural figures of the MTV era.
Born in East Finchley, North London, Michael rose to fame as a member of the music duo Wham! and later embarked on a solo career. Forming the duo Wham! with Andrew Ridgeley in 1981, the band's first two albums, Fantastic (1983) and Make It Big (1984), reached number one on the UK Albums Chart and the US Billboard 200. Their hit singles included "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" and "Last Christmas". Establishing themselves as a global act, Wham! toured China in April 1985; the tour was the first visit to China by a Western popular music act, and it generated worldwide media coverage.
Michael's first solo single, "Careless Whisper", reached number one in over 20 countries, including the UK and US. Before embarking on the production of his first solo album, Michael went on to release two more number-one singles, "A Different Corner" and the Aretha Franklin duet "I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)". Michael's debut solo album, Faith, was released in 1987, topping the UK Albums Chart and staying at number one on the Billboard 200 for 12 weeks. Globally it sold 25 million copies, and four singles from the album-"Faith", "Father Figure", "One More Try", and "Monkey"-reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Michael became the best-selling music artist of 1988, and Faith was awarded Album of the Year at the 1989 Grammy Awards. His second solo album, Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 (1990), sold approximately eight million copies and was a UK number-one. It included the Billboard Hot 100 number-one "Praying for Time" and the worldwide hit "Freedom! '90". A 1991 live duet with Elton John, "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me", was also a transatlantic number one. Michael went on to release two more multimillion-selling albums, Older (1996) and Patience (2004).
Michael came out as gay in 1998. He was an active LGBT rights campaigner and HIV/AIDS charity fundraiser. Michael's personal life, drug use, and legal troubles made headlines during the late 1990s and 2000s, as he was arrested for public lewdness in 1998 and was arrested for multiple drug-related offences after that time. The 2005 documentary A Different Story covered his career and personal life. Michael's 25 Live tour spanned three tours from 2006 to 2008. Michael fell into a coma in 2011 during a bout with pneumonia, but later recovered. He performed his final concert at London's Earls Court in 2012. On 25 December 2016, Michael was found dead at his home in Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire.
In the early hours of 25 December 2016, Michael died in bed at his home in Goring-on-Thames, at the age of 53. He was found by his partner, Fadi Fawaz. In March 2017, a senior coroner in Oxfordshire attributed Michael's death to dilated cardiomyopathy with myocarditis and a fatty liver.
Owing to the delay in determining the cause of death, Michael's funeral was held on 29 March 2017. In a private ceremony, he was buried at Highgate Cemetery in north London, on one side of his mother's grave. His sister Melanie is buried on the other side.
George and his sister both died on Christmas Day and their mom was born on Christmas Eve. That's crazy. So sad. George's voice is extremely underrated too. It was amazing. He made it seem effortless. RIP to all three of them.
Do you know how his sister died?
@@addicted367
According to a report, George's beloved sister Melanie died after falling into a diabetic coma as a result of diabetic ketoacidosis.
The hairdresser died from diabetic ketoacidosis, a complication caused by lack of insulin and sky-high blood sugar. Diabetes was given as an underlying cause of death.
The post-mortem report also recorded that other contributing factors to Melanie's death included hypertensive heart disease, obesity and bronchopneumonia.
@@addicted367 I read somewhere that she died of diabetic ketoacidosis after falling into a diabetic coma but I'm not sure if that's true or not.
Thank you
George died at 53, his mother at 58 and his sister at 59. I think his second sister is around 59 now, or is she still living?
Hi Scott I’m a landscape gardener and I did a massive job in George Micheal garden when he lived in goring England about 10 years ago. He offered us a cup of tea we obviously said yes. (Not thinking he’s actually gunna make it himself) but no 10 mins later out he comes with a tray of tea and biscuits! I gotta say the man could make a hell of a cup of tea! Such a nice bloke.
Oh my God that is so cool! I don't think I'd be able to drink it though, I would have been too nervous... And I don't like t e a either!!😄
That’s was a good day such a nice bloke.
I loved George Michael!
George's performance of Somebody To Love at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert made the hair on my neck stand up. Absolutely amazing!
He gave away millions of pounds to quietly help those in need.Five years after his death, it's not just his work that remains his legacy...but also his secret acts of extraordinary kindness❤️
He paid some strangers ivf after hearing their sad story on a tv programme phone in segment

Careless whisper is one of my favorites, George was really a great underrated singer, may be rest in peace.
I went to my all time favorite singers grave on Saturday 9th july 2022 and it was very emotional i loved this man his voice everything. I miss him his songs always will x❤️
Wow,for him and his sister to pass on the same day, years apart..Christmas, of all days..then his mom's birthday is Christmas Eve 😯 imagine the rest of the family and how they feel every year during the holiday..RIP to George,his mom and sis❤..your story of meeting him is awesome 😀
Beautiful trip to George’s graveside. Thank you.
I met him and his Dad at Heathrow. Imagine turning around and seeing your hero! I was stunned! He was a beautiful man. both inside and out. The world lost a very special person the day he died.
I'm an 80s kid and love his music. It was in December 2018 when I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. His music is what helped me get through a very dark time. Still does. Thank you for sharing this! ❤
I wish you well🙏🏼George’s music was magical. 🎼I listen to it everyday. His voice is so peaceful. 💙
CARELESS WHISPERS!! RIP to this man and condolences to all effected.
I love the snow it is so beautiful great place you are so lucky to live there I love me some George Michaels
Great video!
George Michael was one of the last superstars: Michael Jackson, Prince...George Michael...very gifted and no one will ever replace them...keep it up! 👍
Totally agree x
Wow! You got to meet George Michael! I am so jealous and hope to God you find those old pictures! Thank you, Lisa, for taking George's gravesite pictures for us! That is a beautiful setting for him, his mother whom he adored and his sister. I miss his beautiful voice. RIP George.
"A Different Corner" has always been my favorite George Michael song. It's a perfect example of just how amazing George's voice truly was. He really made singing seem effortless.
That song is hauntingly beautiful.
Have you ever heard the live version he did during Symphonica?
MUGSY WELL SAID 👏
Mine too. I get goosebumps every time I listen to it.
✌👍💯💜👏👏👏🤗. Thanks Scott. My mom loved George Michaels. Her favorite song escapes me, but I love his music too..thanks lisa for sending the pictures to Scott.🙌🤗. Thanks Scott for sharing. Me and my mom used to dance to faith. He had so many great songs. He did look like he was a nice guy. You were lucky to meet him and get his autograph. Hope you find those pictures.🥰 Love you much.🤗✌🌻. RIP George. 🦋🌠🌻🌷🕯🙏. Love,respect and positivity always. Neita James. 🧘♀️🙌💯💜✌🙂🖐.
i truly believe George had the greatest voice in pop music history
That was an awesome story. I too loved his music. Iremember listening to it daily while living in Japan in the mid 80’s and my 2 y/o son singing along with me.
Awww he was a humble man that is amazing ❤❤❤❤
Love George, so sad when he passed, couldn't believe it. You are so lucky to have met him.
Rest In Heaven George Michael. Love George Michael Song Father Figure
I adored George Michaels. I still love his music!!🎼
George Michael was one of my favorite artists, too. His Mum and sister were lovely. Thank you for doing this video.
He was part of so many memories of my youth. RIP George.
Cool story of meeting him. Loved George Michael. Was so upset with his passing. His voice was so beautiful.
Thank you for sharing this! I'm also a George Michael fan and still can't get over that he's gone. What a tragedy. His mother and Anselmo died within a few years of each other..then George. And his sister three years later to the day. I'm glad that he & Melanie finally got their headstones. Imho there are still too many unanswered questions about his death. What exactly happened....why weren't the toxicology results released? What did Fadi really do - did he sleep in his car from Christmas Eve until the next day as he claimed, or was he in the house? I find it hard to believe that George would allow anyone to sleep outside on Christmas Eve. No way.
I have all the same questions. It’s very bizarre
Loved george.what a loss of an amazing talent .you where so lucky to meet him 🇮🇪🎶🤗🎸
George Michael was such a talented person it’s unbelievable he’s gone. Great story Scott.
What a fantastic story Scott and when you comet to the uk 🇬🇧 would love to meet up xx
My cousin was doing some security work for Elton Johns late mum sand was in Goring On Thames where George has his house and my cousin,Elton and Elton’s mum were at home and George phoned Elton for something and Elton sent my cousin over and my cousin and George were doing snow angels in his back garden and my cousin said he was a great guy to meet R.I.P George we all still miss you xxx
What an amazing story! I look forward to meeting you one day Claire!
He was my first crush and first concert I saw. It was super Ex in Ottawa,Ontario 1987
Awesome I love George Michael 💖
'Fastlove ', and 'Outside' are my favourite songs. George, Bowie and Prince in the same year. Such a loss to music and the world. Fantastic artists ❤❤❤
Thank you Scott , George Micheal was absolutely amazing, I miss him. I’m only 50 minutes from Highgate Cemetery in London, I heard George Micheals grave wasn’t on the tour, such a shame it’s not. I can’t believe it’s been nearly 7 years since his death, crazy how time fly’s. So sad about his sister Melanie dying on the same day as her brother, It does happen, My mum died on 3 April 1998 at 3.15 in the afternoon, and my mums mum died on the 3 April 1999 at 3.15 in the morning., my mum was 54, and her mum was 81., it’s amazing how that happens. Thanks Scott. Xx
The 2 men i loved in my life were my dad & george michael..my dad died in october of that year & george only 2 months later..i was devastated..father figure is my favourite song & i loved his ladies & gentlemans cd..his voice was unique & amazing..x
Wow they all passed so young 🥺 beautiful memory Scott, I too felt like I was right there with you! I remember watching my first music video of George when I was around 7 growing up in Kenya. The name of the song escapes me but I loved him since. May he rest in peace 🕊💜
I absolutely love him!! My alltime fav singer!!
This is so incredible! What a beautiful grave.
I'm so glad you got to meet one of your musical heroes. RIP George Michael❤️🕊️
Hi Scott,
George Michael was one of the world's greatest ever singer's and performer's.
You're right about how kind and charitable he was, he once worked at a night shelter handing out soup to homeless people he told the manager of the shelter "Please don't tell anyone i have helped you here".
That was the measure of the man.
He also once gave a lady 25,000 cheque in a cafe, after overhearing her
Crying and telling someone on the phone she was in 5,000 worth of debt. He signed the cheque for the lady and rushed out quickly so she couldn't find out it was George who gave her the cheque.
An amazing human being and singer will never be forgotten. RIP George Michael 🙏.
Great video scott Liverpool UK.
Love George Michael! He will always be part of our Christmas holiday festivities in our household with his Xmas songs. RIP
The orchestral French concert was unsurpassable. My unfulfilled plan was to see that performance. I did see him in Tampa, Fl., and had to beg and coax and pay a ticket to not go alone, to his returning to concerts after years away. He was phenomenal, and reticent of its possible acceptance. Yes I was shattered and still in ‘22 cannot fathom his loss.
I still own my George Michael C.Ds. back in high school we made up a dance to hus song Faith. Haha I still remember every move. I LOVED it when George sang in the tribute to Freddie Mwrcury. I thought he was the BEST performer. I will always miss him. R.I.P Mr. Michael. 😇
George Michael. Love him. Rest In Peace. His music is so peaceful to me. And so handsome. Very good entertainer he was. I hear his music everyday. 🎤👱🏻✝️💟🙏🏼
Great story Scott! I love George Michael. I never got to see him perform live and I wish I did. He had so much soul. I was devastated when he passed away. It didn't feel real. R.I.P George Michael ❤
I absolutely love George Michael's voice. He had such a BEAUTIFUL, Raw, Emotional voice. I miss his music. Can you imagine him and Adele singing together. Blessing's Scott. Take care and be safe Luv. ❤ 😊
I had the pleasure of seeing him in concert once in 1988 during the FAITH tour
I love his music.. he was a great singer and i loved to watch his dancing. RIP George
I love George Michael. Best concert I ever went to. He sang 3 and a half hours non stop. He was amazing. I was devastated when he passed away. There will never be another like him. I’m thankful we have his music. Your so lucky to have met him and had real conversation. Great video. 😊
Thank you! His song "Careless Whisper" takes me back to my youth! 😁
George was such an amazing and talented artist. His music will stand the test of time!! He left us way too soon and had so much more to create and give! I hope he is at peace and creating his particular brand of music!! Love and miss you George, the world isn’t the same without you. 💜💜💔💔
He was so great. His music is so amazing. RIP
Thanks Scott!
George Michael was my favourite singer as a kid. I listened to the Beatles, Bowie & Elvis but George struck a chord with me. He was the 1st artist I became a fanatic over as a teen...even tried to do my hair like him! My heart was absolutely crushed the day he died. So sad that his personal hairstylist/sister died the same day years later. I'm soooo envious that you got to meet him!! You're soooo lucky!! Thanks for this, dude!!!
George Michael had such a beautiful voice his live cover in France of ‘Let her down easy’ is sang with so much emotion...it is one of my favourites of his amazing music George Michael is very much missed by those of us here in the U.K also the world over may his beautiful soul be at peace x
GM one of the best singers❤️
I am almost exactly 2 years younger than George 7-1-65 and I grew up with his music and saw him live twice, once during the Wham years and then during the faith tour and he had a fantastic voice and was a great song writer. I was stunned to hear of his passing and will always admire his music. What a great story you shared of meeting him👍good video.
That’s so awesome you got to meet him! I love George Michael’s music. He seemed very humble.
Love George Michael what a singer 👨🎤
Oh, my heart... I love George so much. The singer of my childhood. Recently watched the WHAM! doco and ended up listening to him for weeks on end. An extraordinary artist on every level. I saw him at this last Australian concert. I still can't believe he's gone. Will never be another like him. Thank you Scott ❤
What a Great story Scott🥰… Thank you Lisa for the grave footage😢❤️It brought tears to my eyes to actually Grasp the thought that George Michael is gone… God rest his soul, along with his sister and mother❤️May they all Rest Peacefully 🙏🏻♥️♥️♥️Thank you Scott😘
That has to be the most beautiful cemetery I have ever seen 🤔
As a fellow George Michael fan, it was great to hear another story on the total generosity and kindness of this legend…I was gutted, like you, when the news broke of his death late Christmas Day in 2016 but hearing so many positive stories about how amazing he was just makes his passing even sadder…I live near George so hope to be able to pay my respects soon and visit his family grave, but I continue to listen to his amazing catalogue of music plus I’m constantly finding little gems I’ve not heard before including his duet with Tony Bennett…have a listen, it’s stunning!!
George was on the level of Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and MaDonna. But you wouldn’t have known that towards the end of his life. Ask yourself this: How many artist do you know today, who write, arrange, produce, and play instruments? This man is gold. We miss you, George. Hope to meet you at the Edge of Heaven someday.
George performed a duet of "Don't let the sun go down on me" with Pavarotti. Look it up here on RUclips. It was amazing!
@@dianamanwaring4794 His song “Spinning the Wheel,” is epic, too. Love “Hand to Mouth “
He's especially on my mind at Christmas time. It hurt my heart when they announced that he had died. He's definitely missed. 🌹 RIP George
Oh Wow Scott ! I was also a huge George Michael fan and also WHAM as well. I miss him. RIP George Michael 🙏 😢 💔 thanks for you sharing your personal encounter with him and his gravesite!! Love your vlogs!!! Stay safe and well !!!
❤❤❤ george michaels voice and songs will always have a special place in my heart..truly missed
What a great story. Memories that you’ll always cherish and keep close to your heart.
Thanks for sharing
George was the best live artist I’ve ever had the pleasure to see. Elton John was with him the night I saw him in Wembley. 💔 When I hear his music, especially unexpected in a store, I still cry. Never could get my head around that he’s no longer with us. A remarkable artist and philanthropist. A huge loss to the world. Thank you for posting this, I didn’t know he now had a headstone along with his sister. x
I was at those concerts that week too! I loved George so much. Such a beautiful soul. Miss him so much. The greatest gift he left us was all that wonderful music. 💖
I loved George Michael. Rip George
Hey :) I met him when I was in high school - my friend and I were tipped off because limos were rare in Ohio, lol. We hadn’t planned it, weren’t prepared for it but yes, he was disarmingly sweet and had the most beautiful smile - all I can really remember in my shock were his amazing teeth :) Thank you for this video Scott!
So cool that you met him. My favorite artist of all time. My favorite song is "Waiting For That Day" from that album. Saw him in concert twice and had close to the stage seats. Best shows I ever saw. He was a class act all the way.
The world lost a great talent and genuine person when George died. You know when you grow up and love a artist you think they will live forever that’s what I thought about George.
Great story and great video Scott! I'm a huge George Michael fan and grew up as a teen in the 80's listening to his music! My favorite songs are Everything she wants and Don't let the sun go down on me live with Elton John in 1991! ♥️😊
George was truly a blessing thanks Scott
I REMEMBER HIM IN THE 80'S, HE WAS THE MOST TALENTED SINGER AND DOWN TO EARTH PERSON, EASY GOING AND WITH THE HEART OF GOLD AND I HAD A HARD TIME BELIEVING HIS PASSING,
You know they say to never meet your heroes because you'll never see them in the same light. Thankfully this one went as you'd hoped! Great story Scott!
He done so much but kept it quiet,he paid every year for the Xmas tree in Highgate village and no one knew it was him,lovely soul from London UK
Lovely story. He seemed like a genuinely kind person.
That cemetery is AMAZING 🙌🏻 Thanks again for another awesome video, Scott 👊🏻
Thanks for another amazing vid Scott, love George Michael & still do, big fan of his from Wham to his solo career. He was an amazing human being & so kind & generous. Hes truely missed, but i listen to his music on a daily basis. His music helped me get through losing my sister in 96. Thanks Scott 🤘🏻🤘🏻
george was a great singer and is sadly missed here in england one of our true greats who was just the person you thought he was
The Paris Opera House concert is simply amazing!
He was a gorgeous man of many talent! RIP Sir
I love hearing this, what a great experience! Thanks for sharing Scott 😊👍
What an absolute wonderful memory! Thank you for sharing with us. I was a teen in the 80s and loved Wham! George Michael was an amazing talent.
A simple Headstone for such a Great Man ,thats just how George would have wanted it , R.I.P Legend as you are surely missed ,R.I.P to George's Beloved Mum and Sister too 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
Great video Scott..loved your story of George.. It's an all too familiar experience regarding how he was with others, warm kind and chatty from so many who met him. I would have given anything just to meet him for a moment, a truly beautiful man and a voice and talent never to be seen again. I visited his resting place on November 24th 2021 I believe his sister was tending to the grave, so I waited in the cold for 2 hours until she left out of respect then just stood there for a while with George, his mum and sister, who also is resting there, Mum only had her headstone then. I then went to his home in Goring and the pub he used to eat in I also parked across from his Highgate home and recieved a £150 parking fine, but that meant nothing compared to the experience I had. I miss him terribly like so many even 5 years on, and I still feel the shock today Rest in peace George..You are loved x
George Michael was so special to me, His music was essential. It’s a shame He’s not mentioned more. Thank you for making this video I couldn’t click fast enough when I found it. ❤️
this is special, thank you!
I immediately fell in love with him besides his beautiful voice he was handsome. I would see him on MTV back in the 80s and stop what I was doing and watch him sing and move I loved his song Faith it was such a catchy turn. RIP George Michael you are loved and missed 🕊️🕯️🤍
Thanks Scott for taking me down memory lane. Love and peace always.
Omg what a story!!!! Yes I adore GM too!! His death was a shock as well as his sister. Thank you so much Scott!!!!
Really good of George to speak with you and give you a autograph. Its so sad the 3 of them died so young. His sister looked like their Mum. Lovely tribute to a great musician. Very humble gravestone. I know its been 6 years but still cant believe he is gone. My favorite is Young Guns, Jesus to a Child, father figure . You have a great memory Scott
Beautiful resting place for him. A beautiful cemetery too.
How AMAZING you were able to meet & chat with George! 😱
Sadly, I was never able to attend a concert or meet him, but have loved him since Wham!
God bless him, his philanthropy, music, unmatched talent and kind spirit 🙏💝
Love George Michael.
Congratulations to George Michael. Welcome To The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Class 2023. May You Rest In Peace.
Loved hearing your story about meeting George. Our man is beautiful both inside and out 💜 I cannot talk of George in a past tense as it breaks my heart 💜
George Michael seemed like a wonderful, kind person. So awesome you met him! Very sad day when he passed. I loved him for many years. Father Figure was my fav song. What a loss. 😢
Awesome
Continue To Rejoice In Peace To The Late Great Mr. George Michael🕊
