I’ll show you mine, you show me yours, and then when you show me yours, I’m going to nick you!
You’ll never find peace of mind until you listen to your heart.
Not many people are really that meticulous with what they do, I suppose, but I’m just a control freak and terribly afraid of failure or regret. I work very hard on these things.
I’m 10-12 years into life as an out gay man, and I’m a different person. I think there are things about my journey that might be useful to other people, and coming up with a hit record on its own doesn’t seem to be enough anymore.
Is my body a temple, or is my life a temple? I’m definitely in the latter category, and I think my life has been better since thinking that way.
It’s strange. At some point in your career, the situation between yourself and the camera reverses. For a certain number of years, you court it and you need it, but ultimately, it needs you more, and it’s a bit like a relationship. The minute that happens, it turns you off… and it does feel like it is taking something from you.
I never minded being thought of as a pop star. People have always thought I wanted to be seen as a serious musician, but I didn’t, I just wanted people to know that I was absolutely serious about pop music.
I went through a long period where I was afraid of doing things I wanted to do, and you get your courage back, which is what’s important.
Because of the media, the way the world is perceived is as a place where resources and time are running out. We’re taught that you have to grab what you can before it’s gone. It’s almost as if there isn’t time for compassion.
There are so many things and so many aspects to gay life that I’ve discovered and so many things to write about. I have a new life, and I have a new take on dance music because of that life.
Ok, so he didn’t die, but it’s a story I find amusing, so I included it. George’s big “whoops” came very close to professional suicide.
Findadeath.com friend EJ Fleming points this out: An interesting coincidence: Will Rogers Park, named for Will Rogers, whose most famous quote is, “I never met a man I didn’t like…” You’re sick enough to appreciate the humor in that…
According to the arrest report:
“On Tuesday April 7, 1998 at 14.50 hours officer Shan Davis # 353 was working plain clothes crime suppression in the area of Will Rogers Park, located at Canon Dr. and Lomitas Avenue in Beverly Hills, California.
Due to the increasing number of complaints of lewd activity in the men’s restroom, we checked for any subjects loitering in the area. The officer saw George enter the men’s restroom.
“As I walked into the restroom, I noticed the male subject standing at the urinal.
He turned and glanced in my direction. I walked into the stall and stood by the toilet with the stall door remaining open.
I began to simulate urinating. Michael stepped away from the urinal and walked over to the south wall, and looked into the stall toward my direction. I noticed that Michael was exposing his erect penis toward my direction, and began to masturbate, and with his left hand pulled his sweatpants down to his upper thigh revealing his buttocks (and that cleverly placed nicotine patch). He continued to masturbate as I walked past him, and left the restroom. I contacted my fellow officer, and arrested Michael as he exited the restroom.”
A press statement was released by the Beverly Hills Police Dept.
George Michael was fined and sentenced to 180 hours of community service, at a local AIDS charity. He admitted publicly for the first time that he is a gay man. We were not shocked.
Isn’t it time you’ve updated this…George at lest deserves that from you and more than the fuckin bathroom incident. How about somethin on his 30+ years of work or the charity’s he was involved with and continues to support long after his death. Don’t be so messy find a death, you’re better than this shit you have posted.
he is Singer, Musician, Entertainer, Songwriter, Producer, Philanthropist.He started his career as a part
of a pop duo wham with andrew ridgeley and later on he do a solo career
he is youngest of three children.His untimely death shocked the world.
It was determined that he died of fatty liver and dilated cardiomyopathy with myocarditis.
He was laid to rest in a private ceremony on March 29, 2017, in Highgate Cemetery, next to his mother.
So big deal, George Michael was gay. His music brought life to millions and was one of the top male vocalist artists. Why capitalize on the man’s mistakes that we all go though in life. He was much loved so RIP George Michael.
he died early hours of christmas dec 25 2016 and he died in his bedroom at his place age of 53he was found by his partner Fadi Fawaz
and by march 2017 the coroner in Oxfordshire attributed Michael’s death to dilated cardiomyopathy with myocarditis and a fatty liver.
Circa 1979, was shopping on pre famous Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills and noticed George Michael and another male in a black Mercedes 450 SL convertable (top down) park and get out of the car. Both Mr Michael and his associate were dressed in all black. Curious, watched them walk a half block and enter Mr. Guy an, at the time, high-end men’s store. Interest didn’t extend to following them into the store – When I saw them with the all black car and all black clothes assumed he/they were in a “personal relationship”. Less than a year later he got busted in the Will Rogers Park restroom and came out as gay. No shock here –
Hence the “circa” (around, about) prefix. Looking at when he was busted (April 7, 1997) way more than slightly off, date wise, on my sighting – Must have been (again circa) 1995-96. Good catch!
I give up on date I saw him – Looked up store he went into, Mr. Guy. Online research shows store opened in 1969 on Rodeo Drive & moved to another Beverly Hills location at the end of their 20 year lease; or by 1989. Stand by what I’ve relayed seeing and give up on guessing when I saw it. Sorry.

Love your music, so sad you passed so soon. Would have loved to have seen you in concert. Prayers to you and your family.

I hope that someone can provide more info around his death. I think it was natural causes.
Seriously, these “gotcha” posts are outdated and not by much time….. I’m beginning to think you may be a curse 😉
EVERYONE makes errors in life……..let’s move on and wish he was here. I loved his music
Yes, please update his story since he really is dead now. Love your site! Thanks!

Not in 1979 you didn’t, seeing as he was still in school in the UK.

If you check out Matts comment history he seems to have met every person on findadeath. 🙄
I presume you meant 1997, not 1979?
So…this hasn’t aged well. Will you ever update his story?
