George Michael

George Michael was both a pop star and a huge sex symbol back in the 80s. He began his career alongside his high school friend Andrew Ridgeley, with whom he formed the band Wham! They were most notable for “Careless Whisper” and “Last Christmas” before eventually going separate ways, with Michael starting his solo career. Michael pushed the barriers with his heavily laden sexual innuendos in his lyrics which he later kind of lived out and getting arrested for lewd conduct while in a public restroom, which semi-forced him to admit that he was gay, a speculation many had from the start. Michael never truly left the spotlight but in a sad turn of events, the pop star died at the tender age of 53 from ‘natural causes related to heart and liver disease’ and worse, he was found dead on Christmas morning by his boyfriend, celebrity hairstylist Fadi Fawazz.
