Have to say, much as I like Paul Rodgers and Adam Lambert, the only person other than Freddie who performed with Queen that looked and sounded the part was GM. RIP
As if I've been flagged for that. Merry Christmas.
There's a time and a place for quoting tweets like that . He's not even cold .
Beds, if you feel like that then I've happily taken it down. I apologise and merry Christmas.
Cheers mate . Unflagged . When people are saying it's the worst year its relating to celebrity deaths not people dying in wars . I'm probably being a bit touchy :-)
I remember watching his video to "Faith" in about 1987 or 88 on Going Live which was the kids Saturday morning kids programme on BBC1 with Phillip Schofield and Sarah Greene and I always remember the feet tapping against the bar of the a stool.
Oh FFS! Another kick in the teeth from 2016. Not been up with his most recent stuff, but he's a big part of the soundtrack of my teens and early 20s. Gutting.
The poor sod hasn't been well for ages and was never left alone by the press.
Wonderfully gifted singer and entertainer
Must be awful for his loved ones to pass away on christmas day. I lost one of my uncles on christmas day years ago and it is obviously awful but more cruel because of the time of year.
I was an original Whamette! I followed George and Andrew all around especially outside the Lyceum.
I made a lovely card for them when I was about 14. Met George many times in those young days before they made it big.
My best moment was when us groupies were hanging outside the BBC studio. Two old security guards were trying to keep the 20 of us back. One of the guards bent down to go under the barrier when two of the fans made a run for it and split his strides!! He told his pal he had to go get changed so I saw my opportunity and legged it thru!!
I went up the side and hid behind each pillar. Finally got to George who was already talking to two fans who were standing there talking to him sobbing. So I said Alright George. He said hello. Then this Pratt of a security guard came back out and snatched my camera but at the same time caught my gold chain off my neck and it broke. George absolutely yelled at him and told him to get back down to the gates and to leave me alone. I then stood and chatted with George for a half hour.
I met him lots when I was young. His sister told me the card I made was his best present at that stage. I'm going up to the loft to get my Wham pics out.

Rest in Peace George!
The man who was synonymous with Christmas for his music will now be synonymous with it for his passing.
RIP
This is shit.
