Another star stopped shining in 2016… George Michael died Sunday, he was 53 years old.
This English songwriter and pop star gained his popularity at the end of the 1980s and stood alongside such superstars as Michael Jackson and Madonna.
As the Rolling Stone writer, Greg Pond noted in 1988:
“He is only 24 – three years younger than Prince, five years younger than Michael Jackson, and outselling both of them. He is ridiculously famous; he has more money than he can spend. And for most of his brief career, he has had virtually no artistic credibility.”
However, his fortunes soon began to slip. He didn’t receive respect from his record label Sony neither from the society that turned away after people discovered that he was gay.
Kim Bowen, George Michael’s close friend recalls:
“His coming out, which he did not plan and was not managed by any publicity machine, was a very painful thing for him. But the way he handled it, and the way he braved it, and the way he made it all right for them, empowered a generation of young men.”
RIP George Michael. You were the inspiration for LGBT community and people in general.

Whilst in Sydney in 1994, a man apparently tries to assassinate Prince Charles. And not a single fuck was given by His Royal Highness.
