Wow, what a story. ❤️ He died in his sleep from cardiac arrest at the age of 53, on December 25, 2016. Hundreds of thousands of people are still alive thanks to him. Only after the singer's death did it become known that he had spent millions to help orphans, the homeless, the sick, and foreigners in need. One time, a contestant on the TV show "The Deal" said during the break that she needed $15,000 for an invitro procedure. The next day, George Michael called and secretly transferred the entire amount to her name. “George Michael worked anonymously at a homeless shelter where I volunteered,” one TV presenter said. “I didn't tell anyone this because he asked us not to tell anyone. That's who he used to be." "A woman at a children's charity told me the only reason they're still around is because of George Michael,” one friend said. Kate Vogue: "Every Easter when Chris Tarrant and I hosted the 'Capital FM' children's charity event, George Michael would turn up at 3.30am and donate $100,000." One time, he gave $25,000 to an unknown woman in a cafe because cried because of the debt. He wrote a check and asked the waitress to give it to the woman after she left." At one point, he organized a free concert for the nurses who took care of his late mother. He has passed on, but his millions saved hundreds of thousands of children. 😍😍😍

The sycamore tree on Hadrian’s Wall is as close as our culture got to a sacred tree - venerated, visited, endlessly represented - anachronistic in age weaving Robin Hood and St Oswald and the frontier forts and tribes of the Roman wall - and now felled like the druids’ groves

Sad to receive the news of Terry Hall’s passing last night from Lynval Golding. Terry’s voice was the perfect instrument for the true and necessary songs on “The Specials”. That honesty is heard in so many of his songs in joy and sorrow. My condolences to his family and friends.
