George Michael Dead

George Michael has "passed away peacefully at home", his publicist has said.

[dfwgator]

Ironic the shirt he is wearing. “Choose life.” He would be banned for wearing that today, not his sexual orientation.

IIRC that was more of an anti-drug thing than about abortion.

He wasn't all bubblegum. Here is a pretty decent rendition of Miss Sarajevo, a cover of the U2/Pavarotti song from "Passengers".

80s singer and author of the gayest music video ever made in the history of mankind

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
The very next day, you said you were gay
This year to save me from queers tears
I'll give it to someone hetero, hetero

My 10 year old daughter and all her friends love his song Last Christmas which plays over and over on the Christmas radio station in DC during the month of December. I was an eighties teen and think it’s a snoozer and was never a George Micheal fan - but the little ones love that song. Sad to hear he has passed this Christmas day.

Anyone with a working gaydar would have known even then.

[ChinaGotTheGoodsOnClinton]

I guess his “Soul Free”.

[Davy Crocket]

AIDS I am guessing.

Probably!!

[clee1]

Cannot “Wake Me Up Before You GoGo”...

[OrangeHoof]

Everybody now... “Must be AIDS”.

[MinuteGal]

"So far they indicate "peacefully at home".

Anyone can die of the most horrible things if they are "peacefully" in a coma, asleep or under sedation.

Another talent squandered away, however it IS very sad. RIP.

AIDS I am guessing.

I suspect you are correct.

“Kissing a Fool is my favorite.”

Kissing a fool is my wife’s favorite, too. She does it first thing in the morning and the last thing at night. I guess that’s why we’re still together after 48+ years.

[SkyPilot]

That was model, Kathy Hill.

[SkyPilot]

Agreed. I thought it was the gayest video back in the 80s. I only watched it because my girlfriend loved it.

[dfwgator]

I’m just shocked at how Elton John seemingly has avoided getting AIDS.

[Leep]

Did he blame Reagan?

[NativeSon]

Great song. I saw him concert one time, opened with "Father Figure", he was a talented showman- red suit, good lighting, Still a great song.

Bowie dying numbed me, I've seen Bowie 13 (maybe more) times... I guess that I'm at the age when people start to make their leave.
