Edited to add, I would have respected him for an apology for his drug abuse though. That behaviour from a role model portrayed completely the wrong image.
Sure, I think he apologised for nearly every wrong thing he did. Many times. But he simply couldn't give up abusing drugs. Looking at his track record, he got very messed up in his head, I suppose.

What do you mean by 'get it'?? No need to get @rsey with me, or I must ask you what you're on.

There are stories that he did possess/intake class A drugs and was once caught for possessing both types. I agree that he was predominantly known for smoking many spliffs a day.

He looked increasingly unhealthy towards the end, yes. According to the Telegraph, he was battling heroin addiction, and he could have suffered a cardiac arrest due to that.

This beautiful, talented, world-famous soul watched his village Christmas procession from his bedroom window, and died all alone on the Christmas Day morning.

Did he?

His first proper boyfriend did, and died of it; as per the newspapers. His 2011 pneumonia did ring a bell, but never knew that he also discovered in his later years that he had it.

Ah, ok, yabbadoo4. We should learn better in time about what really took him, I suppose. Media is reporting the cardiac arrest in sleep. Learning from the media that he was taking heroin as well, for now, it leads more to guessing that he might have died of the heroin overdose.

i read somewhere that he told steven fry he was scared to take an hiv test. maybe he was frightened he did have it especially as his old boyfriend died of an hiv complication. maybe the drugs was his way of dealing with the knowledge/fear he may have it. i guess we will never know.

I'd say he live hard and died young, but by all accounts he was depressed and miserable for most of his life.

Count down till one of these celebs is outed in the press for kiddie fiddling?

Outstanding creativity has a connection with depression and misery.

Problem is when every depressed person starts thinking that he/she is a George Michael or Amy Winehouse. Not everyone is outstanding and that's the truth.

You seem to be hanging to that, Pimmo. You've said similar in one of your previous posts as well. As we know, there is no evidence that hoping for something makes that happen. Your fear is based upon what's been in the atmospheric air, of late. Furthermore, I wish you'd hang to the 'Rest in Peace' respect for him on your own thread, as nothing like that has come up so far; rather than looking at the tragically passed celebrity with such flawed perspective. For now, you can hold on. If any sh7t hits the fan in future, then by all means, say that 'I told you so!'. But that's just me wishing for you to do this. There's no evidence that wishing means happening, no. I get that.

I remain saddened by GM's death. Tribute follows with his twisted but self-sarcastic song in the next post.

I must add that Robbie was very good last night at London NY party, but I'll never forgive him for singing GM's Freedom so badly. I know he was respectfully tributing to the legend, but he wasn't even a patch!

RIP.
I still remember when Wham first exploded into the charts, I was in my teens. We'd all pretend not to like them because they weren't 'underground' or edgy

I just wish I'd gone to see him live when I had the chance.

My 2017 resolution is to go and see all my favourite artists live before its too late....

You certainly reserve a thought that he might have, which you prove by posting this reserved thought twice; in your #20 and #49- without any evidence of it so far. What's wrong with you??

Actually, don't tell what's wrong with you. You've already said that the world has ruined your faith in everyone. we get it.

Not very nice to predict such baseless bullsh7t repeatedly about a person who has tragically died so young, and whose talent means a lot to millions of people around the world. You said it once in #20 and we heard you the first time. No need to keep repeating your prejudice.

As 17yo's, my mate got me a ticket to see The Final at Wembley. But I turned it down at the last minute...through nothing other than 'I couldn't be arsed'. Fail.

Loved it, too.

An older lady with whom I was having an affair with at the time, bought it for me, to boot.

What's not to like!
