Singer George Michael Dead at 53

By Tyler Durden / ZeroHedge.com

In a year that has claimed the lives of some of the most prolific and visible musical talents of more than one generation, including Prince and David Bowie, it is morbidly fitting that the man who gave us “Last Christmas”, George Michael, passed away on Christmas Day, “peacefully at home” according to his publicist.

As the BBC first reported, the star, who launched his career with Wham in the 1980s and later continued his success as a solo performer, is said to have “passed away peacefully at home”.

Thames Valley Police said South Central Ambulance Service attended a property in Goring in Oxfordshire at 13:42 GMT. Police say there were no suspicious circumstances.

The cause of death has not been revealed.

Michael, who was born Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou in north London, sold more than 100m albums throughout a career spanning almost four decades.

In a statement, the star’s publicist said: “It is with great sadness that we can confirm our beloved son, brother and friend George passed away peacefully at home over the Christmas period.

“The family would ask that their privacy be respected at this difficult and emotional time. There will be no further comment at this stage.”

Michael nearly died from pneumonia in late 2011. He received treatment in a Vienna hospital after which he made a tearful appearance outside his London home.

He said it had been “touch and go” whether he lived. Surgeons had performed a tracheotomy to keep his airways open and he was unconscious for some of his time in hospital.

Michael’s 1990 album Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 had been set to be reissued.

It was due to be accompanied by a new film featuring Stevie Wonder, Elton John and the supermodels who starred in the video to his hit single Freedom! ’90.

Together with so many other greats who passed away in 2016, we thank George for the memories.

      Rich people run off to the doctor when they are sick and they die quickly from the pharmaceuticals side effects. Poor people type in the internet the way they feel and go buy the vitamins or herbals they need .and live longer

        Good point.

      EVERYBODY knows the cause of his death!

        Aids-caused Pneumon. AND (im suspecting, only an opinion) also an appropriate sacrifice on Christmas Day. Yule (Child’s) Day, after the sacrifices of Mother Night and those leading up to the 25th that is.

        George Michael to me kind of perfectly fits the prototype Yule (Child of the Goddess Mother and Solar/Saturnian Deity) and how PERFECT IS IT that HE DIED (with his foreknowledge?) on Christ-Mass (Death Ritual) DAY???? You must ask yourselves is this REALLY truly a number of coincidences.

        On the other hand, if he weren’t so abnormally anomalous that is, Christmas is very bad for the health, due to the activities and diet of the ‘celebration’ of Death rites.

        Many more deaths due to heart attacks on Christmas than at any other time of the year. Day after and New Years are the second.

        But George Michael was probably not dying due to a heart attack, he was probably in good shape arterially.

        If he worshipped the Solar Deity (Saturnian Deity) which is

    • WhiteDawn

      By singing his great hit: “Last Christmas” died exactly on the Christmas can’t be coincidence.
      Sorry!!!

      Sorry, mistakenly pressed the wrong key there, ‘if he worshipped the Saturnian God which it is obvious he did honour, (did he celebrate Christmas, did he use the Ankh as earring, was he involved in sodomy continually, yes to all)

      and he was already famous due to his music and lifestyle, (giving thanks to the All-Seeing Eye of Horus/Osiris, Jupiter, Apollo, Tammuz, Deus, Dios, Zeus …
      Saturn, ‘Sol Invictus’ per the Catholic church)

      we need to wonder if it was an orchestrated timed death to the Star of That Deity. I say it is highly likely this was a timed sacrifice.

      This religion is all about – ALL ABOUT – DEGRADATION. The guy was obviously being used, abused and was abusive to others in his state of degradation by this Spirit of Subversion of Humanity and the ‘Spirit of Christmas’ is just another clever name for this same Entity which is one of destruction and death.

      Not Life. Poor dude, driven by another opposing force, and it drove him to death and he never renounced it or opposed its power.

      If he had done, he could have won. How many just give up and do whatever they feel is too strong, too fun or too cool or too politically correct or (in a holier -than-thou religious sense ‘loving’ ) to oppose, full-force? I’d say most people.

      The worship of the Triune Godhead is what i mean when it comes to DEGRADING people. Humiliation and Degradation of the human race – than, their ultimate deaths is the goal of the Triune One

      The God of the Catholic Church (The ‘Universal’ Church, literally; aka Babylonian Mysteries)

      who is also the God of the Protestants, no matter, if they teach the Trinity and observe the practises of ancient Solar Deity religion, which is forbidden in the Scriptures known as the Bible

      whether or not they adhere to the worship of Mary or not. The 3rd person of the trinity is always feminine historically and this is an historically and doctrinally-accurate modern-day continuation of the worship of the Triune Solar/Lunar/Astral Deity.

      For any ‘church’ who says they are NOT following the Mother Harlot Church of this false, forbidden worship (Babylonian and Egyptian Mysteries) they are LYING or in deep denial. How can you tell if they are?

      They are if they do the above things.
      They are not if the adhere to what is said to do in the Bible re: rejecting these same things, and they are coming out of it completely (Spiritual Egypt, that is, Babylon) if they make attempts to follow the legislated, prophesied, commanded 7 commemorative appointed times listed repeatedly and referred to in the Bible, (along with getting the knowledge and subsequent to that knowledge) use of the Sacred Identifying Personal NAME of the Creator-Father of the Bible, and His Son.

      And of course, the weekly Sabbath. As all those commanded things we are told we will do, if we know, and if we LOVE our Creators, IAUE (Yahuah) and His Son, Yahushua.

      And of course if we love somebody, we will make every attempt to please them, especially if someone died for your sorry ass. At least use their proper name, right, and not call the man a nickname.

      Is this getting thru to anybody? Anyone? Tired of explaining these simple concepts to you people.

      LOL

      Well I guess I’ll finish the lecture off with my ‘racist’ notice of … he was Greek. If figures.

      As they ‘started the whole thing’ as Basil Fawlty said accurately, … well, pretty well at least. Greeks and Sodomy go together like han… never mind. Plato and Socrates they were all perverts and degraded boys.

      Zeus himself was a raper of a boy, Ganymede, whom he snatched – yes, KIDNAPPED – from his mother, becuase he was ‘taken’ with his beauty. Blaspheming miscreants, Greeks were CURSED.

      So he had it in his blood, his culture, and probably literally was fighting a hard battle within his Genes.

      But nevermind. Lots of Greeks (really, Im not at all racist) A lot of Greeks are not degenerate slaves of the Evil One, just like some Catholics.

      Ha ha…. or Baptists…. or Episcopalians… or … Mormons, or … You Name The Religion.
      Get out of your previous paradigms, get out of your enslaved mindsets, and question everything you have EVER been told is ‘THE TRUTH’ by any religious man or woman authority. Then, you will begin to be free, one step at a time.

      Everything we’ve ever been told is a part of the LIE> we are told not ever to trust in man and to prove all things whether ‘those things be so’. So let’s do that please ?

      The lie is pervasive and insinuating… twisted and creeping, cunningly devised and powerfully maliciously subversive of your natural inclinations to want truth. It is like a drug. It is emotional abuse.

      Just take time to prove the lies to be what they are, – LIES – historically, they make no sense, and NATURALLY, they are anything but good, beneficial, or natural; SCRIPTURALLY they are CORROBORATED to be lies, for what reason?

      To get YOU to agree to DO what YOU SHOULD NEVER DO, to effect your collusion, (hence your guiltiness in this matter, you no longer are innocent) and ultimately your LOVE of the lie to the extent that you NEVER EVER WANT to entertain the truth. Hence you probably won’t. Hence you will DIE IN YOUR LIES, FOR YOUR LIES you gave power to, and you will not be happy according to the Scriptures that warn you NOT TO DO THIS.

      Alright. Goodnight…. lol as the pilot of the Malaysian plane said (last words signing off).
