Yet another taken so soon

[veilside z]

George Michael died this afternoon. Way too many this year .... R.I.P

[-Bradders-]

Too soon? The guy took drugs and drove everywhere.

^^ True Brad but at age 53 it's still a young age to die. Sad really regardless of how he chose to live his life.

 

RIP.

"Rockstar lifestyle til I die"

 

 

well.... woops.

 

People will be sad, I'm more annoyed cause they're gonna spam us with his songs more and more now.

 

Not saying he deserved it though.

[TT350]

He was only young but he was asking for it.

 

The amount of coke and other uppers and downers he will have been taking. No wonder his heart gave up.

 

Always a shame when someone goes too soon, especially when it's self-inflicted.

 

R.I.P dude.

Heart failure is common in drug addicts unfortunately.

Saw more recent pics of him and he looks to have put alot of weight on too.

As above really. The entertainment industry is littered with actors and musicians who's lives have ended far too soon, from James Dean, Jimmi Hendrix through to Michael Jackson, David Bowie and Rick Parfitt. Kinda sad but not surprising.

Very sad.I guess it was his LAST CHRISTMAS !.

[Ekona]

He's never gonna dance again.

 

One minute you're alive, then Wham! You're dead.

[Payco]

Maybe he was being careless eating a cadbury whisper yesterday...

[formatzero]

Never a fan of his music but a big fan of his voice !

[Zeezeebaba]

The lads down the local cottage will sure miss him.

Quite a lot of stuff in the media today about his charity work. Seems like he did a lot but kept it quiter than some celebs.

[GMballistic]

Please keep your posts respectful of the deceased or do not post at all.

 

Thank you.

True gent by the sound of things, helped in some old fashioned, fairytale ending type ways for a lot of people.

 

Not a fan of his music per say, but I'm sure we all found ourselves singing/humming along to at least one of his songs in the car listening to the radio.

Wasn't a fan but always liked this

 

And this cracked me up

 

RIP

I don't think anyone could accuse him of being a bad person, far from it, he just made some poor lifestyle choices. As you say, many celebrities will set up charities in their name, for example Bill Gates, others keep it quiet. I take my hat off to all of them .

I'm not a tax expert but how does donating to charity on a large scale benefit? I'm sure it does somewhere along the line. This isn't a character bashing just a general question.

[Ekona]

Yup, mostly tax deductible. If you're going to lose it anyway, might as well go to a good cause rather than HMRC.
