L’anno prossimo, il 25 giugno 2023, George avrebbe compiuto 60 anni.
Chiediamo che, per il 60° compleanno, Sony promuova, in primis a Londra e, contestualmente in altre città dove lo abbiamo ascoltato, uno spettacolo con le sue canzoni, i suoi film, le interviste più importanti, ecc.
Facciamo sapere che i fan sono molto delusi perché, ad oltre 5 anni dalla sua morte, nessun tributo pubblico gli è stato reso.
Quale migliore occasione per riunire i fan, fare rivivere alla grande la memoria di George , della sua musica e della sua voce e coinvolgere anche i giovani ?

George Michael, a dear person and a great artist. A brave and generous man. Listening to him is a pleasure and a relief for the soul. His art and his person should be known and appreciated even by the youngest. His music and his voice must be valued, not just for commercial purposes. His person, so sensitive and complicated, should be better known. At the conclusion of Freedom, George Michael declared “And I hope that people think of me as someone who had some kind of integrity. And I hope I'm remembered up for that in a way. I think it's all been a waste of time (laughing). Waste of effort ". More than five years have passed since his death. Precisely because we respect him, we would like to share the last years of his life, the reasons for the profound disturbance and suffering that led to his illness and death. In the article "George Michael voices hopes after illness 'nearly killed' him", written by AJ Delafield and published in the Ham & High on June 5, 2014: "he is now back in the studio and working hard on original material for his next album . Although he hopes to release it next year, Michael - who is not known as a perfectionist for nothing - won't let go until he's satisfied that it's flawless “. What happened to this work? This Is How (We Want You To Get High) was wasted. Fans would be willing to sign up for the purchase of a new album and other initiatives in advance, especially if part of the proceeds were used to finance a Foundation that perpetuates their memory and helps young artists. He with his life and his art gave pleasure and relief to many people. Let's make it so for many others. We prove to George Michael that it is not “Waste of effort“.
I would like to do something so that he is always remembered and appreciated as an artist and as a person. what to do?
Always beloved.
Always beloved.
I love you and I always will. Thank you for your wonderful music that has accompanied my whole life. God bless you George!
Rest in Peace George Michael! I miss you so very much! Everything and everyone you touched is a much better person for it. You were so kind and generous and such a good person! I listen to your music everyday and it brings me a lot of happiness. I will never forget you and I will never forget what a wonderful human being you were!
GEORGE : for me he is always a presence at my side, he is my angel, who helps me every day to face even the difficult moments, not only the joys.
as I always say: long live GM therapy.

I can't believe George has been gone 3 years and now George's sister Melanie has sadly died on Christmas Day. How much more grief and sadness does Georges family have to endure? R.I.P. Love to George's dad and sister yioda xx
George Michael or rather Gorgeous George has always been a part of my life. I feel as though I pretty much grew up with Wham I’m a 66 baby so as a teen the music was always there.
I relate to so many of George’s songs it’s as though we loved and lost at the same time through the years. Kissing a fool was so unbelievably apt - still is- it could have been written for me at that time in my life.
George your beautiful soul smile and heart were all poured into your music for us all to share I can’t thank you enough.
You gave more to us all than you took. I’m so sorry that you couldn’t find peace of mind or a lover that fixed your broken heart ?
You knew your fans loved you I’m sure. Sleep well gorgeous man.

It was always George. I would rewind and rewatch the "Wake me Up" video twenty times in a row. I would stay up late just to see his new video on MTV. I purchased Wham! tickets, but the concert was canceled shortly after. I saw him twice as George Michael during his Faith tour. So many memories. My goal was to meet him someday. Learning just how accessible he actually was to his fans makes me physically ill. Why didn't I make more of an effort to get to England to meet him? I will never forget such a talented artist. Unfortunately, "some mistakes were built to last." ?
Like to many others, I have been a Wham! George Michael fan from the beginning. There is an emptiness in my heart. It has taken me two years to listen to Last Christmas. Since his passing I have listened to his amazing voice every day. I have finally been able not to cry at some songs. Unfortunately my husband is not a fan and therefore does not understand my pain. It is comforting to know I am not the only one. I have not been fortunate to see him in concert, but it is amazing to see videos and concert footage posted on social media. Now we just need The Final on DVD! RIP Lovelie, you Have Been Loved, and I am still Blue
In Memory of George Michael
I have been a G.M. Lovelie of ‘George Michael’ for over 35yrs & like so many others from all over the World I was/am Completely Devastated & Shocked at the news I heard from my Son of what happened on Christmas Day 2016.
Memories: 24th October 1983
My Sister, Friend and Myself first went to see George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley as Wham! for their ‘Fantastic Tour’ back in the 80’s when we were love struck teenagers, we were 14 years old at the time but trying to act like 18 years old’s, and it truly was one of the best day’s of my life.
We arrived at the Venue (Top Rank – these were Nationwide back then) and because my Father and the Manager of the Top Rank were friends, we were so very lucky to be able to arrive a good few hours before everybody else.
We had been in there for approx: 30 minutes when low and behold George himself came on the stage and called us over, we could not believe this, here we are about to see our Idol on stage singing all the Classics ‘Bad Boys’, ‘Young-Guns’ and ‘Wham! Rap’ and here he is right in front of us. (As I am typing this, it is as if I am right back there in the moment -Memories are a Magical thing)
Like so many people have stated over the year’s George was really lovely, Sweet, Funny and to my Surprise quite shy also, this was a moment that I knew I would never forget. I was completely hooked, like many other teenage girls, I used to dream of one day making a video (Similar to ‘Club Tropicana’) and asking George to be in the video, (Method in my Madness ha, ha – we can all dream, can’t we?) Learning every single word to his songs and rewinding the video recorder in the 80’s to learn the dance routines of which I am sure, I was not the only teenage girl doing this.
1 Year Later 1984!
Wham! were due to film their ‘Wake Me Up Before You Go Go’ video, it was announced on Radio Luxembourg that if you wanted to be in the video itself, you had to arrive at ‘Brixton Academy Centre by 10 a.m on a Tuesday Morning wearing Fluorescent leg warmers, earrings etc, again I could not believe my luck, I literally begged my father to let me go, but being about 15 years old at the time, he would not allow me to travel to Brixton alone, but agreed if a friend went with me then I could go, oh the excitement, I could not wait to get to school on Monday morning and ask my best friend to go who also liked Wham! She immediately said yes, but neither of us had thought at the time that she would also need to ask her parents, anyway to my despair she was not allowed to go, which meant I was not allowed to go, I was heartbroken and what made it even worse was when the video came on television and I saw those teenage girls touching George’s legs as he ran down the aisle, then the Green Eyed Monster (Jealousy) came out, then soon after this the ‘Careless Whisper’ Video came out, how was I going to cope, more Heartbreak/Jealousy with those two stunning models flaunting themselves with George.
So many young boys were saying at the time that George and Andrew were Gay, of course myself, like many other girls put this down to the boys simply being Jealous, there was no way our George was Gay!
Years Later
Being a Love Struck Teenage Girl previously, and having had George/Wham! Memorabilia and Posters of George from floor to ceiling in my bedroom, it was quite a sad time when the realization came that it was time to grow up, time to leave home and having to take all the posters down from my bedroom wall (Somehow, I didn’t think that any future boyfriends would be too pleased if I had continued in this manner) so I kept as much as I could and gave all the rest of things to Charity.
Listening to George’s music/songs now took on a whole new meaning, like many others, I actually listened to the Lyrics more than I had previously and started to realize that George had a way of connecting with others through his Lyrics with emotions of Joy, Pain, Loss and Love and how George was telling his Life Story through his songs, it suddenly all made sense, from Young teenage boys having fun with tongue- in cheek Lyrics to Faith Album where George sings about the previous two years of his life, to ‘Older’, ‘Listen without Prejudice’, ‘Ladies & Gentlemen’, ‘Patience’, and his last Album ‘Symphonica’ (Although it is believed that there may be more Albums to come that George had previously written, but I guess we will just have to wait in anticipation and see what happens)
Even if you were a True Lovelie or someone who simply liked some of George’s music, I am sure that no-one can deny that George was an Extremely Talented Singer/Song Writer and as soon as you hear any of his songs on the radio you instantly know it his him because of his Unique Voice.
‘George Michael’ to myself & many others all over the World is just simply a Beautiful, Caring & Genuine Person who gave so much to others and helped many people through different stages of their lives through the Lyrics of his songs, when it is believed that all he wanted for himself was to: …. ‘Love others & to be Loved back’.
I could write a book on what ‘George Michael’ did to help others & why he is Loved & so Dearly missed by so many people, but I would probably be here forever.

George Michael I have been a fan since wham. I saw you on your faith tour and on your 25 love tour. I miss you so much. Gone but not forgotten RIP ???
No habrá tiempo suficiente para poder explicar lo que fue y es George en mi vida.....ahora me falta algo,la música no es lo mismo...el tendra siempre un sitio en mi recuerdo y en mi corazón.❤️
I'm the guy the guy that organized together with Friends and the help of Mr Simon Napier-Bell, Wham! Manager, the exibition Wham! 30 years later, in 2016, in Udine, Italy 30 years After the split of the band at the Final Concert. George music crossed the life of several generations. He Will be remembered for his Joy of living and freshness during the Wham period, a pop bomb, and after during the solo career, for his soul attitude made of Deep and energetic ballads together with the sense of melancholy that everyone has inside (It was Easy to identify yourself with his songs). He was a good and sensitity soul (people felt It so this is the reason of his success). I put him together with the greatest: Freddie Mercury, John Lennon, David Bowie. He Will never be forgotten.
I Have Been A Fan Of George,Your My Idol In Everything You Do,And human right for the gay community And Charity Work Which You Do,But To Hear You Passed On Christmas Day,i Just Could Not Move I Just Broke Down And All Night,
You Will Always Be My Love Inside My Heart,Always Be Missed,x
You Will Always Be My Love Inside My Heart,Always Be Missed,x
It is so hard to describe the impact George had on my life. From the age of 12 I fell in love with the man and his music. He influenced the way I dressed, the way I looked and his music shaped my life and was a constant source of comfort in rough times. His death hit me very hard like losing a close family member. When the stories of about his kindness and charitable giving appeared after he died I felt so proud that finally the whole world would realise finally what a unique and wonderful man he was. I miss him every day xxx
Born June 1963 same as George. Still hard to believe this beautiful man has left us physically but draw some comfort in knowing the soul in his music will stay with me for always . A kind man, full of kindness and integrity. In his words “my songs will tell you more about me than I will” pleased to stay I am still learning ?
I miss George so much..
I saw 25live and Symphonica twice. G is the most handsome and best singer ever ! I'm born in 1963 like George. I was at Highgate few days ago, a bittersweet expirience. Take care George, love you till the end of time ?

Less than a minute ago, I sung 'I Knew You Were Waiting For Me' in karaoke. Though I felt very sober today, I almost started to cry while singing. It is not about the lyrics of this song, but merely about the depth of George's voice. I have never heard any singer whose voice is such a moving blend of despair, hope, both immense masculine strength and vulnerability, human echo in the biggest caves on earth.
His voice recalls so many precious memories of my early teenage years in the late eighties.

Solo quería recordarte querido George,que fuiste,eres y serás una parte muy importante de mi vida,un amigo sin conocerte....que te echo de menos y que siempre tendrás un hueco en mi corazón.
Eterno George.?❤️
