Very sad in our house today, the current Mrs148 is a massive George fan, she's very upset. She met him a couple of times, and. Says he was a lovely man.

Sad but unexpected? Probably not.
Another vote for humorous song related puns and also Club Tropicana.

Had the telly on last night til about 11.10 then me and Missis T went upstairs for a cuddle listening to Smoth radio, after the first song had finished they announced the sad loss of George Michael. We were both stunned.
To Smooth radios credit, they were fantastic mixing his stuff with smooth classic. We had the radio on for a good hour. I olike do his music, but they played some fantastic songs I had never heard of.
Taken far to soon.
Ironically, the Last Christmas song is one I have not heard this Christmas.
Never a good time to go, but at Christmas. Not good at all.
Rip George.
PS, fave song, his duet with Elton John, Don't let the sun go down.

this is terrible news in my house, George had one of the best voices in pop ,he was absolutely brilliant at Freddies tribute singing need somebody to love, he really nailed that .
and his duet with Elton with ,dont let the sun go down on me was another absolutely iconic song that he lifted to a greater high .
even with wham he had great songs that we all know and would happily sing along to when played on the radio.
and when his solo career started he just showed what a great singer songwriter he was .
mrs Radd is in floods of tears watching the news on tv now and i will be listening to George on youtube for a couple of hours .
2016 really has seen the best of the best depart this year and i thought after Rick Parfitt that that would be enough.

As Freddie would have said another one bites the dust, Bowie , Rick and now George, sad days.
Ironically all 3 were headline acts at Live aid 85.

Knew him well, did you?
My old cricket club used to run a death club. 80 members, you picked a famous person likely to die next and paid a weekly amount. When someone from the list died whoever had that person pocketed the cash and it started again. The only rule was no one was allowed from the royal family, apparently that was disrespectful ha ha. Some decent sums built up in my time there.
I think if I had Phil on the list now I would be alert to the news each day.

Sad new re George Michael and too young to go, however I don't see why some more high profile celeb deaths than usual makes 2016 a dreadful year unless you knew any of these people personally.
A bit of light hearted humour is a good way of dealing with loss and I agree George Michael would've found the Last Christmas joke funny too. From his self deprecating humour evident in Extras and Comic Relief and the famous video after the LA toilets prosecution, he clearly enjoyed a laugh at his own expense.

The clip of him in the car with James Corden that they keep showing this morning would suggest he was certainly able to laugh at himself.
