    I cry every time I hear his voice. This song really hits me hard today because I know we are living in the last days. I pray he is in Heaven and at peace. He was the greatest talent and his music touches deep in the soul. You are truly so missed.

      Him and his music got me through a horrible childhood. I'd be locked in my bedroom (lock on the outside of the door). All I had access to were my books and my little pink boombox. I fell in love with him and his music the moment I first heard his voice. I was young, but his music touched my soul. I don't think I would've made it without him. ❤

    There will never be a other George Michael. They don't make stars like him anymore. He is in a league of his own, his songwriting, his singing and has a big heart. His donations 2 charities, people he helped, even people he had seen struggling with debts, he didn't want any recognition for all of this which we all only found out when we lost a very talented man. He is no longer here and charities are still getting their donations. Such a huge loss and will always be missed

    I was there, his sister Melanie is one of my best friends since 1988. I've known Georgio closely since then. His sister was his hair stylist so she traveled a lot with him. They were like peas and carrots. You hardly saw one without the other. His sisters and his father and his closest friends are still in shock. I only spoke to him Christmas Eve morning and we were planning our New Years bash which was going to be at his home. He told me I couldn't drink all the vodka like last time. He was so happy , so excited for his documentary he's been working on for a long time. It's so beautiful, I was there when he was doing much of the voice over on it. I'm excited for everyone to see it when it comes out in the spring. His last gift to everyone . He was a beautiful man, inside and out. The funniest human I've ever met. He's the godfather to my children, and they loved uncle George so much. His dogs came from my dog, I bred my dog and he fell in love with two of the puppies, so I surprised him on his birthday with both of them. He was so happy he started crying. I find myself watching these sorts of videos because I never really got to enjoy what everyone else did. He was just Georgio to me, i didn't really even listen to his music much because christ, he played it at his house every fucking time I was there. He'd say " I'm gonna make a fan out of you yet lovey" but I already was, I was never going to let him know it tho. I miss you with every ounce of my soul and I love you even more. We think about you everyday, we take peace knowing your with mom. She has her baby boy back. I love you xoxo

He truly was a beautiful soul inside and out, his talent cannot be matched ever in my eyes. I've never know an artist that put so much love and emotion into his songs and performances.

    I met George when i was in my youth modelling in Europe. The thing that struck me the most about him was his down to earth attitude. He never wanted the spotlight on himself, instead, he truly cared about those around him and always thought what he could do to make this world a better place. Genuine soul George he was. This song is my favorite song as it really shows George's concern of our planet. We should really take his words to heart before it is too late, right?

    Why did people persecute this man. His private life was his he never hurt anybody. A true gift to the world and a lovely man whom I had the pleasure to meet. I remember him laughing when he saw me realise who he was. Very unpretenscious and giving. RIP George you and your given talent is sorely missed down here.

    He is still healing us, well said: the human race found some other God! He was so young when he saw these things on our Planet! Now we have to go on, to change ourselves, each of us, hoping God still can give us a chance! Thank you God for GM and the gift You gave to him, the gift to change people in all times!

    The paparazzi and press relentlessly tortured this great man for many years. So sad that he’s gone. George Michael was one of the greatest artist of my time. He had so much talent as a Singer, songwriter, composer, and great performer. He also was a philanthropist who gave great sums of money (under the radar) to so many charities, and never did it for any recognition. It all was confirmed after his death. He’ll be greatly missed. R.I.P. YOG 🙏🙏

      Lisa Wilkinson - He sure knew. Somehow I have the feeling that he may have felt unworthy of such adoration. When someone suffers through depression and substance abuse, all the adoration in the world doesn't mean a thing. The pain remains. Who knows what went on in the poor man's head when he was alone. Obviously, music occupied a large portion of his thoughts. One thing is for sure....he was hurting inside.

      Absolutely! I often wonder as he got older if he wished he hadn’t smoked so much. His voice was effortless and could sing anything. His voice was a gift from god. Heck he was a gift from God. He was able to use his voice like a fine tune instrument. An example is when he sang Somebody to love by Freddie Mercury.
      I always laugh when I think of when he said he got thrown out of chorus because he couldn’t stop talking as a little boy. His father told him he couldn’t sing!
