.......... and feeling very sad.  What a voice.

I loved George Michael.  Saw him a couple of times - Wembley Arena and Plymouth a few months later.  I love his more obscure songs as well (Going To A Town)  There is nobody else like him

[bobbie22]

I loved George Michael too.  What a brilliant singer !

I loved his version of the Stevie Wonder song They won't go when I go.  I thought that of all his songs, that was the one that showed his voice off the best.

[andy-hughes]

He was a peerless vocalist and a wonderful writer. 

The world of music is poorer for his absence. 

[Countrylover]

There are those singers  that are unique and he is one!

I haven't seen it, however his vocals at the 'Freddie Mercury tribute concert' singing 'Somebody to love' is one of the best versions I've ever heard. (it were released as a single) and I do believe apart from Freddie, he were singing to his gay partner who was in the crowd at the time.

[237SJ]

I think his partner had died just before he sang at the Queen concert which must have been very hard for him

[Countrylover]

George, Freddie, Bowie.  I miss them all.

[Arksided]

oh so that's what it were... have to play it:

And George Harrison as well.  The quiet Beatle who was so talented.

We watched it too - so talented. what a loss.

Ken, different corner... such a beautiful song... I couldn't remember what it was called.

[Canary42]

So much musical talent gone before their time - I would add to those already covered Karen Carpenter, John Lennon, Buddy Holly, Olivia Newton John, Michael Jackson, to name just a few.

[Arksided]

Canary... I'd like to but sadly add Michael Hutchence

[Moorea7]

He was a favourite of mine too - so versatile.

Saw him way back in 1986 at Wembley. It was a concert for The Prince's Trust. He was on stage with Tina Turner, Elton on piano and Phil Collins in drums. What a show. Fantastic. Loved loved loved George Michael.
