Absolutely , I am a simple man from the ordinary life and I met and was in George Michaels company for a weekend. I was introduced through a friend who was married to George’s Aunt . And I can tell you he was a pure gentleman, He had just split from Wham , he was at his Aunts for the weekend and the craic and fun everyone had with George was . Well I will live with the honour of being in his presence.
My mum still watches George everyday x he was a beautiful soul with a mischievous nature that I adored! The fact he died on Christmas Day is almost biblical to me… Jesus took a good gift home for his birthday x
I met George Michael twice in LA and he was a sweetheart both times. A true talent and gentleman ❤ . Martin Kemp is a very handsome class act, and I'm sure George is happy that his best friend is safe and taken well care of with Martin.❤
I agree Debbie, I think knowing now how George felt alone in his latter years if only someone knocked on his door and said you are loved. But unfortunately with fame it doesn't work that way, people assume you want to be left alone, and unfortunately that becomes the undoing for these lovely souls.
Those who knew him personally and are also in the business, which Kemp has always been in one form or another, but we’re also best of friend since a young age, the loss that is felt is different. Especially best friends before the career in the Music , industry. during and after. Best friends! It’s no where near the same loss that a fan feels. Not saying fans don’t feel a tremendous loss. But not like Andrew, Shirley, Kemp, Pepsi and others that followed from the band Wham and remained with him. Totally different relation ship I Andy feels it the worse! Especially not really knowing what happened and the industry. So your wrong it’s different!
I really like this clip. A lot was said about George Michael but he was a really good person. He was a mega star at one point, but he was always just a down to earth guy. He made mistakes and was perhaps troubled at times. But we all do that and he was a gentleman and very honest. His great friend Martin Kemp, in this clip, is also a really decent person.
Try and tell the media that he was a generous man. They won't listen. Many things that were said about George Michael were said through the press. So many inaccuracies.
George paid for Martin to have surgery(major I believe, might have been life-threatening?) but George called the best docs in the world and got Martin treated asap-what a beautiful man. I felt like I knew him which I know is pathetic, but it felt like i'd lost a friend
I tend to take everything that celebrities say with a very large pinch of salt (just like I do "politicians") but this appeared very heartfelt and I just don't think Martin Kemp is a good enough actor to pull this off so convincingly if he didn't genuinely mean what he was saying.
He definitely showed a twinge of emotion there near the end of what he was saying. Really touching. George remained close with Andrew, Pepsi and Shirlee his whole life amd by a default their partners and families. I'm sure they were all shaken by his passing.
I have to be very pleased with such beautiful words by Mr. Martin Kemp! George will be remembered as the most talented and beautiful person. You have been loved!
Met Martin with my pals at the opening of a nightclub in Dublin 1999,absolutely decent bloke,shook hands with him,wished congratulations on his career and continued success,with that,he said that’s original mate,put these lads on my tab ! We didn’t take advantage,we had a few jars and vodka and red bulll,ahem,but not as mad as it sounds and still have the bottle’s of Budweiser he got me too ! The amount of women who were trying to get off with him and he kept pointing to his wedding ring !! Absolutely a top bloke !
George was a kind sweet gentle soul. Perhaps he was tired of wretchedness of the earth. The words of his masterpiece Praying for Time cannot be more true today. And im praying for the best.
Yes true words big mis, was on u tube to day when the was on the tube at Newcastle, saying r u cumin to c us at whitley Bay ice rink, I saw the jam there, just can't get my 🤕 round how he ended up the way he did, but like elvis , so sad
You know, maybe this is why George Michael could write songs like Careless Whisper and Praying for Time, he was a fantastic songwriter storyteller, because first and foremost he was an empathetic, caring person and great listener. Couple that with his musical ability and uncanny knack for crafting pop music. He was a tremendous talent.
Martin Kemp’s admiring words about George Michael truly comes right from his heart. George Michael was loved by many. I hope he felt it during his life.
every time i watch this tears roll down my face , even now i still find it hard to take on board the George is no longer with us, our loss is heavens gain.
did you hear that? the one split second his voiced cracked, wasn't really a crack but i don't know how to really define it, like suddenly the voice doesn't want to get out, that, is what gets me every time, that split second when his voice goes just a tad deeper. Rest in Peace George
I can't believe it's been almost a year since we've lost George Michael. I miss him so much. His music is the background of my childhood. May you find the freedom you were searching for, George. God bless.
When certain people die it makes the world a sadder place. I never knew George Micheal but grew up with his music and certain songs just take me back to the 80s 90s
Lovely Martin Kemp brought tears to my eyes when he paid tribute to George. It is very sad that for many years all the press were interested in was writing something seedy about George. Why do they always do it in the UK? We get someone so talented, so kind and generous but our press just loves to tear them to shreds.
Because scandal sells papers more than 'nice' news - all the world over. Plus the UK is a small island, whereas the states is enormous with different papers for different parts. Here our papers are sold in every part of the UK. The UK still loved George whatever they printed.
Yeah, I love that story. They were actually at George’s parents home. He went into his sister’s bedroom and called Martin and urged Shirley to take it as he held the phone out to her. It’s a typical scene for young friends.
George Michael, Martin Kemp....just damn good guys...if only more people, especially "pop stars, rappers" were like them....these guys were/are proper role models
THE REASON GEORGE,MARTIN,SHIRLEY,ANDREW ECT WERE SO SPECIAL IS THAT THEY WERE ALL SIMILAR NATURES THEY ALL HAD A CIRCLE OF TRUST THAT'S HOW FRIENDSHIPS LAST FOREVER R.I.P
God bless George he was just amazing man. Sometimes when iam. Feeling down listen to his voice, it's brings be back again into this sad world we live in. I adore George not only as astist. But as a very loveing caring human being. God bless him. Xxx
I love you,George Micheal,I wished I could've seen you anywhere but for now I watch everything about you,you were such a kind,sweet person from everything I've read about you,your music I will keep alive and not forget you,I loved everything about you,r.i.p sweet man
I was with a friend in a really famous Knightsbridge store in the mid 80s when George, all on his own, strolled by. I thought my friend was going to pass out! George stopped for a chat and he kissed her on the cheek. She was absolutely beside herself with excitement 😂😂😂😂
Very, very average actor but much more importantly, probably a decent human being ..... which is more than can be said about Nadal IF what I've been told about him is true.
I miss George, he was a beautiful human being. The world would be a better place if we all took a page from his book. Yes, he had his demons, don’t we all. But overall, he was the best. I hope he’s found peace. x
Martin you are a kind good peson ,, take over from George,, your good for it mate ,, I grew up down the kiings rd as a kid with a Barrow ,, remember those days ,, I know you do,,, all you lot bought from me,, I live in nz now as a old guy ,, loved you all for the fun even boy George ,,, you guys were fun and laughter,,, those were the days ,,, ducking and diving ,, if you and your Shirley want a nz experience in the central platou I am your guy ,,

This guy has such class.
RIP George Michael, you're dearly missed.
NO HE ISNT HIS SLIME
@@lynnjones4291 Really ? I always liked Martin. What do you know about him that I don't ?
I met George Michael twice in LA and he was a sweetheart both times. A true talent and gentleman ❤ . Martin Kemp is a very handsome class act, and I'm sure George is happy that his best friend is safe and taken well care of with Martin.❤
George Michael should be in the rock and roll hall of fame, period.
OMG he isn't??!!
Finally he is! 🙏🏽
why is that then ??
@@rabit818 he is! I think in 2023 they inducted him...
He is in 2023
I would have loved to be friends with George Michael. He seemed such a warm, down to earth, funny, lovely guy. Love Martin Kemp too.
I agree Debbie, I think knowing now how George felt alone in his latter years if only someone knocked on his door and said you are loved. But unfortunately with fame it doesn't work that way, people assume you want to be left alone, and unfortunately that becomes the undoing for these lovely souls.
You didn't have to know him personally, everyone just loved him. He was and still is a great British icon.
Those who knew him personally and are also in the business, which Kemp has always been in one form or another, but we’re also best of friend since a young age, the loss that is felt is different.
Especially best friends before the career in the Music , industry. during and after. Best friends!
It’s no where near the same loss that a fan feels.
Not saying fans don’t feel a tremendous loss.

Totally different relation ship
I Andy feels it the worse!

@@jenpeterson3712ahhhh, what do those shitbags know?
You could see his pain man. Brings tears to my eyes. George was like a brother to Martin and was a big part of his family.
George paid for Martin to have surgery(major I believe, might have been life-threatening?) but George called the best docs in the world and got Martin treated asap-what a beautiful man. I felt like I knew him which I know is pathetic, but it felt like i'd lost a friend

He definitely showed a twinge of emotion there near the end of what he was saying. Really touching. George remained close with Andrew, Pepsi and Shirlee his whole life amd by a default their partners and families. I'm sure they were all shaken by his passing.
George Michael was an angel sent from heaven ❤
I have to be very pleased with such beautiful words by Mr. Martin Kemp! George will be remembered as the most talented and beautiful person. You have been loved!

George was a kind sweet gentle soul. Perhaps he was tired of wretchedness of the earth. The words of his masterpiece Praying for Time cannot be more true today. And im praying for the best.
That was touching.
Martin looked like he was near to tears towards the end
Martin is such a sweet, classy real guy, just as George was.
StarlightShadowDancer Martin.yep ..hes so down to earth.n. hes.still with his lovely wife ..i like Simon le Bon too .hes really nice
Mishell Cornell and
Having met and spoken to Shirlie’s lovely hubby, Martin once I can confirm that!
A fine musician and actor, yet to receive the credit he deserves.
Yes true words big mis, was on u tube to day when the was on the tube at Newcastle, saying r u cumin to c us at whitley Bay ice rink, I saw the jam there, just can't get my 🤕 round how he ended up the way he did, but like elvis , so sad
Martin and Shirley. I am from your era. I love you both. I love George. Broke my heart his passing.
You know, maybe this is why George Michael could write songs like Careless Whisper and Praying for Time, he was a fantastic songwriter storyteller, because first and foremost he was an empathetic, caring person and great listener. Couple that with his musical ability and uncanny knack for crafting pop music. He was a tremendous talent.
We all miss George, Martin ❤️❤️❤️🥺🥺
We feel your pain and loss Martin. I am so sad that he was taken away so soon from us. RIP George, you have been loved more than you ever know.
GM is always so caring to people around him and many will remember this beautiful man forever.
R.I.P George Michael who sadly passed away on my birthday Christmas Day .Thank you Martin for speaking out . Respects always.
George Michael is always one of my favorite people and singers!! Love to hear all your music, George. R.I.P.
We all miss you every day George, listening to your songs is still the highlight of my days
Martin Kemp’s admiring words about George Michael truly comes right from his heart. George Michael was loved by many. I hope he felt it during his life.

We all miss George so much it's heartbreaking.
I still can't believe it
Last Christmas breaks my heart now
But I still love it and get goosebumps like I did in 84
I can't believe it's been almost a year since we've lost George Michael. I miss him so much. His music is the background of my childhood. May you find the freedom you were searching for, George. God bless.
You’ve got to love the emotion in his voice talking about GM 💔
What a lovely, from-the-heart compliment, Martin Kemp comes across as a genuinely good man; thanks for uploading, may God bless you.
When certain people die it makes the world a sadder place. I never knew George Micheal but grew up with his music and certain songs just take me back to the 80s 90s
Sir George Michael a legend and kind human being ❤️ Martin kemp a icon ❤️🇬🇧🇬🇷🇨🇾❤

@Torqem Harder yeah, fortunately there are some decent people out there...
The media is a bunch of evil talentless parasites, no different here in the USA. Amazing voice, amazing talent, very missed.
So genuine....heart felt comments abput George.
Every Christmas is George Michael day ❤️🌹✌🏾💯🌈
Martin, you are great and I am so grateful to you for remembering George for his generosity and kindness.
George was indeed a beautiful person inside and out!
Did not know that! He is such a nice man!
George will always be missed by so many people! Thanks Martin..
love the love story behind Martin and Shirley and how George brought that bond between them 3...luv that story.
he had so much inner beauty you could feel it through his music
No he didn't and no you couldn't
securityrobot fucking bastard! His music was/is legendary and he was the nicest popstar theres ever been jog on!
alot of people were jealous of George and hated him for no reason and now choose his death as a time to bash him and harrass his grieving fans
Securityrobot why don't you buzz off and get a life
securityrobot You're funny 😁
Martin, you are such a class act! Genuine love from a genuine man. Didn’t know George.... but I feel your pain mate. Massive respect to you and yours
Shirley said George MADE her call him. She only agreed to go, if he came with her. George is their sons Godfather.
cuz she was too chicken she liked Martin but she wasn't the type to call a boy LOL
Yeah, I love that story. They were actually at George’s parents home. He went into his sister’s bedroom and called Martin and urged Shirley to take it as he held the phone out to her. It’s a typical scene for young friends.
Martin Kemp is a classy decent person, just like beautiful George Michael.
George Michael was one of a kind that is true miss his musical talent and smiles rip legend. Xx ✌️♥️
a beautiful soul, paying tribute to another beautiful soul.
Its still so hard to believe George is gone😢
George Michael, Martin Kemp....just damn good guys...if only more people, especially "pop stars, rappers" were like them....these guys were/are proper role models
I met GM many times Just as he started to become famous >he really was a young Gentleman .
Martin is such a class guy..
Awww What a lovely genuine guy Martin is and it just shows how much George was loved by everyone Touching Tribute To a Legend Gone Too Soon 💏✨💞
What a great clip lots off respect for both Martin and especially Roman after last night's brill programme what a top young man he is
He had me in tears by the end.
THE REASON GEORGE,MARTIN,SHIRLEY,ANDREW ECT WERE SO SPECIAL IS THAT THEY WERE ALL SIMILAR NATURES THEY ALL HAD A CIRCLE OF TRUST THAT'S HOW FRIENDSHIPS LAST FOREVER R.I.P
God bless George he was just amazing man. Sometimes when iam. Feeling down listen to his voice, it's brings be back again into this sad world we live in. I adore George not only as astist. But as a very loveing caring human being. God bless him. Xxx
Still miss him so so much. Watching this brought tears to my eyes it was very touching.

Nice guys see the value in nice guys, Martins a class act.
