"George's hedonistic lifestyle was beginning to take its toll." https://youtu.be/mO9sIrjBMsQ

I can't leave this thread like this so here's a tribute to George in his heyday. https://youtu.be/FWXz1h7U0M0

Died young.

Don't believe he was a big drinker or drug user in his 20's. Obviously dabbled as available for him. But nowhere near as bad as the members of the 27 club.

However carried on into his 30's, 40's & 50's & also put on weight in his final years. His body giving up on him.

He was a clandestine philanthropist. https://www.smoothradio.com/artists/george-michael/charity-generous-donations-kindness/

I hope members won't mind me killing two birds with one stone as it were, but I was reminded of another personage with similar insecurities where tragedy befell them: https://youtu.be/EfAOqCx1N8E
