I recently read that his last ten years were filled with drug use and numerous health issues. I feel so sad that he was so unhappy during his last years. I'm an addict myself manly alcohol so I can understand. He was like whitney houston houston only meant to be here for a short amount of time yet what an impact. Rip George you are loved and missed

What a true legend in his own right to hand the reins over to George and give him the space to become the superstar he turned out to be. Andrew knew he couldn’t compete with George.

Both he and Paul McCartney said George was without a doubt one of the greatest singer/songwriters ever. Now that's a compliment because look who it's coming from. PM also said George showed him how to sing his own song, speaking about the Long and Winding Road. A sublime talent in every way.

      You said it. George Michael's voice was pitch perfect every time with a range that could turn from an utterance to a full belt on a dime. I love this performance. His vocal ability is strong, and yet you can see he is still coming into his own. Fast forward to his performance of Somebody to Love at the 1992 Freddie Mercury tribute concert and see the full transformation. RIP GM. We love you and miss you.

    Sir Elton John told once: “I was at Live Aid and when we did Live Aid I had this big area built backstage which everybody could come and have a drink at, all the artists on the show. I went on before Queen and I wore this ridiculous kind of hat. Freddie came back and they’d completely trounced it!
    “I said, ‘Well, nobody needn’t go on now Freddie, you’ve just completely and utterly swept the board and you were absolutely brilliant’. He said, ‘Yes darling, we were… and what were you wearing? You looked like the f*****g Queen Mother!’ And I did.”

    Young men were so strong and mature in the 80's...now most 22 men look like teenagers... George Michael were so young and so fantastic here...

      We need to get more endocrinologists talking about this. The endocrine system is way more complex than people realize. The problem is most likely multi-factorial but you need people who really know this issue to untie this knot. Out of balance systems in the body (here the endocrine/hormonal system) are oftentimes a cause and a symptom. The body is a cocktail of hormones not just testosterone.

      Jamie W I totally agree. I remember watching this performance going OMG. Then Along Comes 1991's rendition and you could hear how he learned to use his voice to perfection as he was an absolute master at his craft. George said he was not happy with this performance. He said he felt he could do better and my goodness in 1991 he proved that you could go from Excellence to Sublime...the man knew he had more to give with that already amazing voice. What an unparalleled artist!!

      @@PFCD you’re right, the 91 performance, the one that was released as a single, was much better from George. He took it to a new level. His performance of somebody to love is one of his best too, he stole the show that day with Queen
