George Michael

Just as Rik Parfitt has gone down, down deeper and down, so George Micheal won`t be waking up before he go goes.:thup:
 
Dear God - I am so pee'd off with 2016. Mrs SILH is really upset. George was her #1 favourite music artist and just loved him and his music. God Bless and RIP George - you are a star that will continue to shine above and in the hearts of many of us forever.
 
Bad taste Karen
Funny, but bad taste

2016 can just do one big time

Come on - it was a joke but few of us new him personally so let's not get hung up in the pretence of some heartfelt loss.

He was a good singer, made too much money when too young and chose to take too much funny stuff.
 
Perhaps we seem to forget, we are born to die, and it appears a lot of our 'heroes' are at that time of life. yes it's a shame for his family but lets be honest how many can honestly say they new any of these celebrities personally?

Lets all take stock, the biggest influence in our lives shuold be those that loved and cared for us, be it parents, grand parents or foster carers, not some celebrity who couldn't care less about us as individuals

rant over

Hmm, born to die and at that time now, well I'm glad I'm not a celebrity then as I'm 4 years older than George and it's obviously not my time yet 🤔

No more drinks for this man 😂😂🍺🍺😜

So from now on should anyone who wishes to comment on the untimely early passing of a celebrity run it by you with a full explanation why we'd like to post?

How do you know if any of these celebrities were an inspiration to some or patrons of charities that effect our families.

Maybe we do understand the biggest influence in our lives or those that loved and cared for us, be it parents, grand parents or foster carers.

Does that mean we can't have any compassion for anyone we don't know?

We are entitled to ignore and not post on any thread we wish too,
 
Whilst ultimately it's always a shame when certain "celebrities" pass away especially talented ones I sometimes struggle with the mass mourning - seen things about people in floods about the guy from Status Quo passing ? Really ?

My grandmother passed away this morning - that for me is where the real emotion is - someone who liked after me every school holiday :(

George Micheal is another like Micheal Jackson - very talented musicians and their music will be missed but questionable lifestyles will more than likely contributed to their early leaving.

As for the jokes - well that's British humour for you - always remember in school anytime someone passed away you were waiting for the first joke to happen - it's laughing in the face of people passing away and the way the Brits have always done it
 
HID has been very upset by this. Perhaps the only celebrity she has ever really followed and was there at Wembley as the first artist to play at the new stadium and saw him at Earls Court a few years later. A large part of the music of her life taken. Death is inevitable, but sometimes it seems to come far too soon

My wife was also at that Wembley concert. She is so pleased she went to see him - and like your wife she feels a huge hole in her life today - George Michael was her only real 'favourite' pop star. She is genuinely sad - not hair pulling grieving - just very sad that someone she liked and whose music she loved has gone at a young age - irrespective of anything else. My wife's best friend lives in Goring - and next time she goes to visit her she will take flowers to put at his house.

Fully agree in regard to the fake well wishes on something like facebook every time "tragedy" strikes. People seeing who's kindness can win them the most likes.

Condolensces for your loss. Hopefully the first in house family gag strikes soon so you can laugh about the good times together.
 
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.

That sounds really sad and pathetic

What was questionable about his lifestyle?
