Damn, this year has been BRUTAL! Big fan of his solo work.... I read that one of his reps said he was at work for a project to air on SHowtime in March and that he was "allegedly" not ill. He was an amazing talent!!!

Rest in peace.

I can't fucking breathe right now. So unexpected ....That beautiful man....that beautiful voice There was one point in my youth when I listened to Listen Without Prejudice on constant rotation for months on end. Those were the days of our lives We'll miss you George.

me too. one of the great voices of the 80s. him and boy george could sing circles around simon lebon or pete burns.

SMMFDH! I seriously NEED the year 2016... to just get the fuck on and over with already!

Really??? George Michael, just up and GONE in 2016...too??? Damn. DAMN! DAAAMMNNN!!!

Most of my favorites from the 80's are gone. Damn.

Such a wonderful songwriter and singer. I love so many of his songs. Well, the good thing about great music is that it lives on.

Speechless. So sorry to hear about this. RIP George Michael, you will be missed. Thank you for the music...

What a truly, unspeakably, horrifyingly, stupefyingly bad year.

Very sad news. George Michael had an incredible voice. Songs like Kissing a Fool & One More Try... The entire Faith album was amazing and Like Jesus to a Child has to be one of my all time favorite songs. Don't know what to say. This sucks .............

I literally can't believe it...man, Bowie, Prince, Glenn Frey, now this...and on Christmas Day, to boot...how infuriatingly ironic is this shit? I've seen him live on his 25 Live tour in Cologne a few years back, probably in my top 3 of concerts of all time. Loved his solo work, Waiting for that day helped me through dark times. Was always hoping for a proper comeback, but sadly is wasn't meant to be...he will be missed! Really hope this is the last time I have to write something like this...there's no one left I care about in the music biz, all my childhood heroes are gone now...MJ, Prince, Bowie now George, too..fuck everything...

I was fortunate enough to see him live in '08. What a voice!

I'm soooo sad.

WHAT THE FUCK you guys...this is just surreal. I am beyond stunned.

So many great songs hes written...and what a voice, the voice itself was a one of a kind instrument.

Rest in peace...I still can't believe it.

2016 has been UNMERCIFUL to music lovers!! wish it would just fuck off and shut the door!! i don't want to think about who might pass in 2017. this year's losses are staggering!

It was thanks to George that I met Prince. I'm in shock all over again. Terribly missed, both.

When I fell in love with his voice....

Man this is fucking crazy. First David, then Prince, and now George. And other celebrities that passed this year that I like and admire. RIP man.

May he have found peace at last

2016 truly is such a sad year for music (and in so many other ways too)
