                His concert was one of the best live performances, that I've ever seen.

                Rest easy GM!

                    No shit?? That fukkin sucks. Even though he was a raging homo...you couldn't help but like some of his and Wham's tunes. "Last Christmas" was a great Christmas song. Son of a bitch.

                    The aids had to have gotten him.

                          That's what I'm thinking too...you just don't expire at 53 for no reason...and then police is saying there is nothing suspicious about his death - so they probably knew that was coming.

                              that would qualify as a suspicious death or an overdose

                                  I know his boy friend died of aids.. Probably he contracted it a while back and kept it under wraps.. Oh well.. He was kinda weird and sexually confused.. Some catchy songs as I remember..

                                  He had one song that I actually liked..

                                    Totally sucks. Guy was a great, great performer. 2016 has been a hell of a year for legends to die.

                                    First Harambe. Then Prince. Now George.

                                          I remember listening to a radio show back around 1986. Being gay wasn't nearly as "hip" then as it is now. Anyway, a guy called into the show stating that he went to a WHAM! concert, and they didn't do an encore. Women were throwing their panties on the stage, and they still did not come out for one more song. Everyone was pissed. The man then said that if the guys in the audience had banned together and thrown their Fruit of the Looms on the stage, then they probably would have come back out.

                                              Musicians always have a knack for dying before their time because of the lifestyles they live.. Prince overdose, David Bowie smoked alot and that probably killed him but he was old... Georgy was sexually confused went gay and probably contracted AIDS and died thru that.. Etc..

                                              Alot of 70's musicians died from overdoses, Jimmy Hendricks, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, etc..

                                              Too be expected.. It's a risky lifestyle being a famous musician...

                                                      The Rolling Stones guys are ancient, surprised they didn't kick the bucket yet.. Ozzy as well.... I'm sure alot of those guys are on their last leg and can go any day now..
                                                      Ozzy has been on his last leg for at least last 20 years or so...He should be very thankful to his wife, who's been keeping him afloat all throughout these years.

                                                        Yep he's pretty much brain dead and his body is barely still going.. He swears he's alive today only because he drinks 12 cups of tea every day.. Maybe there is something to that???

                                                          Maybe recently, but not before that. He had drug and alcohol issues for years, along with depression.

                                                          Same for Elton John. Rough past, but improved lifestyle over the past decade.

                                                            Feels like you've been saying that every 2 weeks with all of these deaths. So so many deaths for 2016 and a cluster of them are happening in the last couple of months. I liked his music, but the radio stations play his Christmas song an awful lot. Now, it will be difficult to listen to...smh
