Never liked his music much but he had a great voice. Sad that he couldn't be happy. The fate of many great artists.
As said above, I was not a fan, and he did live a problematic life, but he was a son, brother, etc, and the family have to live with that, also 53 is
not an age were anyone should be dyeing, whether we like them or not
Why do so many superstars have such troubled life's ?
It does show that wealth can not buy happiness

RIP
Likewise, not a fan myself.
53 seems young though!
RIP
Well I don't mind saying that I was a huge fan and thought he was an incredibly talented singer.
Yes he had many demons and most of those are probably a result of his celebrity status so I think he deserves some empathy. It's all too easy for
us non-celebs to enjoy the entertainment provided by people like George or Amy Whitehouse or Whitney Houston and then turn our backs when the fame
takes its toll on them in one way or another.
Thanks George.

^^^This....
Saw him perform at the Freddie Mercury Tribute concert many years ago and have to say, amongst that crowd he stood out as someone incredibly talented and had that 'mega star' factor so many lack. RIP George. Rest easy.
