Rest in Peace George Michael

He was only 53 and passed at his home. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-38432862

Sad news. RIP

I posted that a bit ago in Lex's thread on Rick Parfitt. Everyday another one, it seems. RIP.

It makes me really sad because my twin LOVED him.

Such a bad year! David Bowie and Glenn Frey before January was over, followed by Keith Emerson, Prince, and Leonard Cohen. And now Rick Parfitt and George Michael. I wasn't a big fan of any of them, but they all shaped pop music in their own special way.

In the words of another immortal talent who died young, "Another one bites the dust." A tragic young death. I didn't like all of his music, but you had to admire his presence.

We've lost so many musical luminaries this year.

:( I'm so sad about my George. I've been nuts about him and his music since I was 11 years old (I'm 46 now) and I feel like a heart-broken teenager. Or like my late Mom's generation must've felt when Elvis died. George Michael was the most beautiful looking man I've ever seen, and I SO loved his music! My ex-husband and I went to see him in concert in Vegas in 2008, and it was amazing. There were people of all ages, cultures, "races" ( I say that with quotes because I feel we are all of the human race), etc. and we all were rocking out! People (including me!) were dancing, singing, crying, bonding with each other, just having a heck of a great time. I'll never forget it as long as I live. And OMG, the moment when he came out on stage, I grabbed my then-husband and screamed! LOL! George sounded fantastic that night, and if I closed my eyes, it sounded exactly like my favorite cds. He was on target and did such a great job, and I've never been so happy in my life as far as celebrity-stuff goes. :)

I love you, George and that's for always. I wish your life had been easier, and I selfishly wish you'd been straight and I could have had the fantasy of meeting you and dating you, but I love you the way you were, and I hope that you had some happiness in your life, beautiful boy.

Bless you, you sexy man!

Tracy :)

He will always be remembered. RIP George...
