TimeOut

George would have been 60 today but unfortunately he died, aged 53, on Christmas Day 2016 at his riverside home in Goring. The world lost a talented artist but the the music lives on. Did you see him perform live or have a favourite song ? ...  

At what point in his career did you see him live ?

. . . but when I checked for other musicians whose birthday would've been today, Radka Toneff came up. A favorite of mine . . . what a set of pipes she had. She would've been 71 had she not taken her own life forty-one years ago. 😌

Another sad loss.

but always loved a couple of his all-time hits. Perhaps 'Father Figure' tops my memory........

Taken from the Faith album which is a great album in its entirety.

And no, never had the chance of viewing him in person. Best Abel

Pretty good for his first solo single !

Listen Without Prejudice was a great record.

No artist should have to go through this process.

"Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me" is hard to beat.

Elton played it last night at Glastonbury in tribute to George. Very moving.

Great musician and indeed a great loss

I remember the people and fun we had during that time snd the music lives on.

Yeah, we still... ... have Bowie." I miss them a lot!!!

So I will be forever scarred by GM and Wham ! And most definitely still have some PTSD when I hear that song. LOL I do love the Comic Relief piece he did with James Corden (I was a fan of the show G&S, one of the funniest shows on TV at that time). Anothe... 

From 3:25 onwards you can see David Bowie and Seal watching the rehearsal. Both very impressed! I have never seen him. My favourite song would be "Faith" an like Abel: "Careless whisper"! 😃

There are some singers who are just on another level - Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Freddie Mercury to name but three and, in my opinion, it’s a horrible mistake to cover one of their songs so close to the original. You just get nailed. The only way ... 

I think George Michael was very touched by the lyrics of this song. I personally like cover versions alot, like this one, first heard in the movie "The big Lebowski". There is a ver nice mood in this version.

I wish I had been to any of his live performances... but back in his high time I was a poor student and simply could not afford a ticket. A week ago I was on an airplane flying back home, I found and watched this documentary made in 2017 soon after his de...  

He lived locally to me and was just a lovely person. Flawed genius

there are so many, he's a fabulous artist.. "Jesus to a child" just to name one. Oh and also he cover the song "going to a town" by Rufus Wainwright, the original is such a great great song, glad George noticed it.
