Unreal, genuinely upset about this fella dying. I think its because i always had him down as a fresh enough youngish gent.

Ah jaysus

you are better than that buddy. happy christmas

Christ thatā€™s unbelievable, Iā€™ve always been shocked that Tim Wheeler wrote Girl from Mars at 15 but careless whispers is a very mature song.
How was it that the majority of whams output was bubblegum shite, purely to take (monetary) advantage of the screaming young ones?

His initial solo career was outstanding. RIP.

What? Itā€™s an honest question.

He had a cold for a long time poor oul George.

sorry bud. drugai was my first thought tbh. i havenā€™t read anything on it yet, what caught him?

Hard to know. He nearly died of pneumonia three years ago which would be odd of a multimillionaire Iā€™d imagine.

Strange, Iā€™m just old enough to remember wham breaking through. The first one I remember was bad boys, then tropicana and a few others, it seemed a couple of years before they would have interested Peel

Heart failure did him apparently.

For the record, this is probably my favourite song of his, great video too.
