    It wasn't until after his death that the extent of George Michael's philanthropy was revealed. He donated millions of pounds anonymously. He bought CAT scanners and other high-tech equipment for hospitals. As a thank you for treating his mother when she had cancer he gave a free concert for NHS staff. A good man.

      And even after his death, it was reported that his family had sold some of his art collection to the tune of $11.5 (give or take) millions and had donated all this money to the charity. All this was done very quietly, without all the massive PR which celebs nowadays often love to do. This is the true philanthropy: doing good deeds quietly, without shouting about it on every corner.

    I’m a London cabby and one night (I think it was about 4am), I was looking for a fare around Notting Hill Gate. I came across someone stumbling around in the middle of the road. He was flagging me down so I pulled over. He wobbled up to my window and I recognised him straight away as George Michael! “Highgate please cabby”
    He was the friendliest, most interesting and charismatic bloke I’ve ever picked up. I don’t care he was off his nut. He was extremely polite. Half way through the journey he said “I want to buy you a hamster cabby!!!” I told him that I reckon the hamster shop is probably closed George! Weird but hilarious. He had me on stitches all the way to Highgate. I’ll never hear a bad word about George Michael. He was a legend. He tipped me £50. RIP George. 😢

    Nice touch Paul! Two of my friends met him as one friend was The Undertaker that laid his Mum Lesley to rest and said Georgios was an absolute Gentleman with a kind nature.
    My other friend is of Cypriot origin and a plumber and he worked on his house, Georgios said what do want for Lunch? Left them to crack on working and ten minutes later came back with a plate of filled rolls and a large box of cream cakes from the bakers across the road. Georgios never lost his human Touch and kindness despite his fame and fortune. Ruhe in Frieden ✝️

    Hi Paul. I am a huge George fan 💜 but this only came about on Christmas day 2016, but the unusual thing is that the news of George's passing hadn't yet broken. 5.30pm that day, home from visiting family, there I am all alone, then suddenly I get this intense urge to listen to George Michael (what I heard myself saying in my head was 'God, I really need to listen to George Michael') Now, I had only ever bought 1 George song (Club Tropicana) and never really had any interest in George's music, but something incredibly strange and amazing happened on that Christmas day. I then spent the next 5 hours or so just listening to and watching George's music on UA-cam and was totally blown away. I went to bed just before 11pm feeling on such an almighty high from George's music (still not knowing of his passing) i felt amazing. Got up the next morning to the devastating news of George's passing 💜 Hand on heart, I can honestly say that I have listened to George's music every single day since. He is in my thoughts every day. I don't know what happened on that Christmas day 2016 but whatever force it was that got into my head and said 'listen to George Michael's music' has changed my life forever. I feel like I found my religion that day. I wish I could explain what happened but I can't. I promise you, I'm not deranged or a bullshitter, just someone who feels incrediby blessed to have found George, be it a little late 💜 Sorry for the long story but just needed to tell you of my experience.

    I saw him twice in concert. He put on the best concert I've ever seen. He started on time for both shows, took a break in the middle so we could as well, came back on time, people got up and danced to the fast songs and sat down for the slow ones. It was the most respectful audience both times I saw him. His music will thankfully live on forever.

    I love George’s music so much. I had suffered from depression and anxiety all my life and one of the few things that brings me comfort and can make me feel something when I’m complete numb is music. George is special for me, his voice can make me feel warm and at peace from the first second, is a feeling I can’t really explain, like everything is ok and I’m being filled with love by his music, like a safe space, something I have never experienced before.
    I’m from South America Chile so I just wanted to thank you for showing me this because I had no idea where his body rested and all the information you gave 🤍 I hope someday I have the chance to go and pay my respects to him.

      I suffer the same fate. Sometimes, the only thing that stops the depression is playing music. When i listen to George Michael's song, "Jesus to a Chlld," it soothes my soul. After finding out that this song was for his first love, it holds more understanding of what it's like to suffer. He had so much pain with his sexuality, being in the public eye, and trying to manage fame and still have a normal life. Mr. Michael had a huge heart for others, and his philanthropy was immense. I hope he can now sing with the angels and be with his beloved mother and sister. I miss his goodness and exquisite talent. Like a meteor glowing through the night sky and then extinguished as quickly as it began. ✨️ 🙏🙇‍♀️⛪️🕊💞🌠

I thanked him for the music he gave to the world, and the beautiful voice he had. Highgate is very tranquil and peaceful. Such a tragedy for the family, and then to lose Melanie exactly 3 years later is just heart breaking. So many wonderful songs from George, but for me it's 'Cowboys and Angels' RIP George ❤️

    George held special concert for us NHS nurses at the Roundhouse. This was a special thank you for helping his mother through her illness which she sadly passed away. He called us the "Undervalued heroes". He was truly amazing artist and live his vocals were truly as amazing as his legend.

    How sad for the family and George’s father his wife and two of his children laid to rest side by side. George was a beautiful soul . Troubled by the loss of a partner and his mother. His music lives on and generations to come will hear it. Not many people leave a legacy like George has. I loved don’t let the Sun go down on me. And different Corner. RIP George with your Mother and sister and Anselmo.

      I hope to visit Highgate Cemetery to see his resting place alongside his beloved Mother Lesley. Yes, I do know his sister is also by Lesley's side to. Bizarre how their mother was born on Xmas Eve & her son & daughter died on Xmas Day & both by either side of her resting in peace.
      R.I.P to all 3 of them. 💐🪦💐

    I’ve been a GM fan since I was 12 years old and I 1st heard the Faith album..it changed the way I listened to music. I recently finished reading James Gavin’s 2022 book about George, the good, bad and ugly and the genius that was this complicated, but amazing talent. One of a kind Michael was. Thank you for posting this video. Maybe someday I can go pay tribute to GM the way you did. His art is what will live forever. The way his voice, lyrics and music makes his fans feel will never die. Thanks to GM for the magic of his art..and thanks to you for respectfully showing us where he lays to rest.

    Must go sometime, it looks so peaceful and serene. I saw George only once in concert sadly at Netaid in Oct 1999 Wembley Stadium. He was amazing obviously.
    Too many favourites to choose from as it depends on my mood at the time, one more try, father figure, cowboys and angels, mothers prides and I love Monkey too 😊. His music is basically the soundtrack to my life. I'll miss him forever. Thanks for sharing xx

    The greatest singer performer and all round person of all time I grew up with George as my idol he was an inspiration.to me. I really was secretly in love with him I guess I still am the words and music he produced and sung was outstanding and the voice OH the voice was flawless words cannot express how much he is missed from this world and what this world has lost it’s tragic as well as a tragedy it still seems unreal that he is not of this world but where ever he is I hope he is still singing careless whisper and accompanies my mum up there singing with her together because she loved him too

    I fell in love with George at Careless Whisper, I'm fortunate to have seen his last two tours, he was better live than on a CD. I cannot believe how lucky I was to have seen & heard this wonderful legend. My favourite song has always been "Praying for time". How apt he wrote that song. When I listen to him, I still cry. What a sad loss to us. 💗

    Great video 😉👍👍
    George Michael has been my favorite artist since the early days of WHAM! He had me hooked from the very start. I’ve seen him 3 times in concert, 1988 FAITH tour, 1990 COVER TO COVER tour, and last in 2008 25LIVE tour. In my opinion, George Michael was the Elvis of our generation, but even better.
    His songs are timeless masterpieces that will never be forgotten, as him himself as well. When I heard the news of his passing on Christmas Day, I was in shock, to say the least, my family and friends know I’m a huge fan, so when they got the news, my phone blew up with text and calls, as if a family member or close friend had passed, they were asking me if I had heard the news and was I ok. I’m sure there were millions around the world who felt the way I did on Christmas 2016, and still do today. Fortunately, we will always have the phenomenal memories and music George left behind for all to enjoy. I doubt we’ll ever see another like him in our lifetime, he was, is, and always will be one of the best artist of all time.
    Rest in piece my Greek brother 🙏🏼❤️
    A forever fan from the U.S.

    My don't have one favorite George Michael song, but I do listen to "Last Christmas" every winter because it is one of my top favorite Christmas songs. I also really enjoy listening to "Everything She Wants" on a weekly basis because it is so catchy. Sometimes when I am in a contemplative move I will listen to "Father Figure" and "One More Try" because the lyrics are so deep. I never saw him perform. I am currently 32 years old so I was either too young or not born yet to see him in his hey day. But I love the passion he put into his songs and he was an excellent actor as well. RIP George Michael

    I grew up listening to Wham and when George Michael went solo. He had such a beautiful voice and was talented. One of my favorite songs was with Aretha Franklin, " I knew You Were Waiting For Me" , to name few because they were all amazing!
