British Singer George Michael dies
Pop superstar famous for hits including Last Christmas, Wake Me Up
Before You Go-Go and Careless Whisper sold more than 100m albums. He won a Grammy Award
in 1988 for “I Knew You Were Waiting (for Me),” a duet with Aretha
Franklin, and “Faith” won the Grammy for album of the year. In Britain,
he was showered with awards, and in 2004, Britain’s Radio Academy said

RIP George Michael
The star, who launched his career with Wham in the 1980s and later continued his success as a solo performer, is said to have "passed away peacefully at home".
Thames Valley Police said South Central Ambulance Service attended a property in Goring in Oxfordshire at 13:42 GMT.
Police say there were no suspicious circumstances.
Mr. Michael’s manager, Michael Lippman, told The Hollywood Reporter that Mr. Michael had died of heart failure “in bed, lying peacefully.”
In 1998, Mr. Michael came out as gay after being arrested on charges of lewd conduct in a men’s room in Beverly Hills, Calif. He had long lent his name and music to support AIDS prevention and gay rights. During interviews in later years, he described himself as bisexual, and said that hiding his sexuality had made him feel “fraudulent.” He also described long struggles with depression.
In a statement, the star's publicist said: "It is with great sadness that we can confirm our beloved son, brother and friend George passed away peacefully at home over the Christmas period.
