Fiale Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 Well, if true really sad - listening to his music growing up in the 80's was huge. Hell his music is all over the radio at Christmas time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 With his history it's not a massive shock. Expect the sickos who bet on deaths are high fiving. RIP George. A very generous and kind man by all accounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southend Blue Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 listening to Radio 5 Live and they've been taking about it. Unbelievable. Don't really believe in the occult of anything supernatural but this year has been bizarre (if that is the operative word) for losing celebrities and famous names. Can't remember anything like it. Sorry to hear of this, he was a very good artist and songwriter. The music industry has lost another star name and will be poorer for his passing. Police say no suspicious circumstances.

cider head Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 One of my favourite singer / song writers and this is shocking news. RIP George. Praying for time: it's hard to love there's so much to hate (so true of 2016) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Team In Keynsham Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 The stinker of a year continues unbated. Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 is a great album, and includes possibly my favourite song of his: Freedom 90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Septic Peg Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 RIP George. I'm a huge fan so I'm gutted. Not only was he a fantastic artist but he was also very dry and could take the piss out of anything (including himself - Google his video for 'Outside') This is one of my fave videos of his. I've yet to hear or see anyone cover this song as well as George did it. There ain't many who can hit the same pitch as Freddie but George could.

RIP George. A very generous and kind man by all accounts Richard Osman (the lanky dude from Pointless) just posted on Twitter that apparently a woman went on Deal or no Deal intending to win about £15k for IVF cycles. She didn't win but the next day, George phoned the show in secret and sent the lady the money. Say what you like about his drug taking and driving (because those criticising have never driven at speed - bullshit) but he was a good person and that's what matters.

BS3_RED Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 What a huge talent George was. Shocking to die at so young an age but I am sure his years of substance abuse played a part. Yes he had his demons and made some mistakes but show me any person who does not. RIP George and THANK YOU for the music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRL Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 Met him once many moons ago. Lovely unassuming chap,you would never have known he was a superstar.

You won't change my mind, there is a huge difference between going slightly over the speed limit and knowingly getting in the car pissed up and driving - the punishments by law for speeding and drink driving would also agree with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddoh Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 The other day my 11 year old granddaughter was listening to Ernie by Benny Hill and when died in the song at the age of 52 she turned around to me and told me not to become a milkman, today I told her that next year I will not become a happy pop star.
