I was too old for Wham when they came along so it wasn't until quite a bit later that I noticed George Michael was a talent.............

I think this was the video that I noticed............

after that I listened to some of his earlier stuff and liked Careless Whisper, Club Tropicana, Last Christmas...........

A very talented songwriter and singer

RIP George

I've seen him live many times and he was frankly incredible. To die today of all days, truly awful.

The poor bloke was plagued by depression. I just hope to god it was quick and peaceful and that it wasn't by his own hand. An incredible talent and a great loss.

I for one will miss him terribly and am incredibly greatful to him, as he fuelled my early love of music.

Rest easy George xxx”

Well said.

If you grew up in the 80s then there were a number of bands that were really huge. Wham were one of these. So yes, for people of a certain age he was culturally significant.

I really liked George Michael - a cracking singer and had lots of big worldwide hits, seemed a top bloke as well. RIP.

Geldof is certianly a 'legend' as far as his celebrity goes.... But musically? Not so much.....

So hilarious that everyone thought of it within a few seconds of reading the news... including me. (I chose not to post it, I knew that a lot of others would)

That is a beautiful song.

Almost on a par with Freddies vocals, almost! Very close though.

This was another good one he did with Lisa Stansfield.

That's what I thought. We'll have to wait to hear exactly what happened.

It's on the BBC News now...

[Edit] Still a mystery. A stroke while sleeping, perhaps.

I have just heard the dreadful news. What a shock! This one's really got to me.

It said he died peacefully at home, and I'm hoping he had someone with him.
