George Michael’s death at 53 – ‘unexplained but not suspicious,’ say Police.
George Michael dabbled in political songwriting, with the song Shoot The Dog criticising the relationship between the UK and US and the Iraq War.
He will also be remembered for his charity work, taking part in the 1984 supergroup Band Aid for the song Do They Know It’s Christmas in efforts to raise money to combat famine in Ethiopia. Michael also threw his support behind Aids charities, and was a patron of the Elton John Aids Foundation. He was also a patron of Rainbow Trust, a charity for terminally ill children.
Michael had previously suffered health scares. In 2011 the singer cancelled a string of concerts, suffering from pneumonia. While in hospital he slipped into a three-week coma and had undergone a tracheotomy. The singer said that upon waking from his coma he temporarily had a West Country accent.
In 2013 the singer suffered a head injury after falling from his moving car on a motorway. He was airlifted to hospital.
His death is described by Police as unexplained.
Tap – The Wham song ‘Last Christmas I gave you my heart’ will remind everyone of the day he died.
