Your support makes all the difference.While great swathes of Britain polished off leftover Turkey and sleepily played charades, news George Michael had passed away emerged from nowhere. To the great dismay of many, the pop superstar died at the age of 53 of heart failure on Christmas Day.
Since his untimely death, his boyfriend, Fadi Fawaz has continued to mourn his loss and pay tribute to him.
Posting an old photo of George and himself together on Instagram on Wednesday, Fawaz wrote: “I will never stop missing you George the kind and the most beautiful man ever. Xxx”.
Earlier this week, Fawaz revealed he had been the one who found Michael dead in his Oxfordshire home on Christmas morning.
“It’s a Xmas I will never forget finding your partner dead peacefully in bed first thing in the morning,” he tweeted. “I will never stop missing you xx,” he said.
The celebrity hair stylist began dating Michael five years ago but the pair always kept their relationship private.
The couple had planned to go for Christmas lunch before the musician’s shock death.
Born Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou in the leafy suburbs of East Finchley in north London in the early 1960s, Michael wasted no time in embarking in a career in music. Before long, he had formed the era-defining pop duo Wham! and become one of Britain’s biggest pop stars of the 1980s.
In the wake of his death, fans have gathered outside Michael’s Oxfordshire home in the village of Goring-on-Thames and his house in Highgate, north London, to lay flowers, candles and handwritten notes at his doorstep.
