George Michael (1963 - 2016)

George Michael has died at the age of 53. He first found success after forming the duo Wham! with Andrew Ridgeley in 1981. The beginning of his solo career started in early 1987. Everybody has at least one song they connected with in regards to George Michael. I once lip-synced ‘Wham Rap ’86 and Edge of Heaven during elementary school at Collingwood in Calgary.

On this Christmas Day, here are twelve essential songs from George Michael that made him who he was, legendary.

I am in deep shock. I have lost a beloved friend – the kindest, most generous soul and a brilliant artist. My heart goes out to his family, friends and all of his fans. @GeorgeMichael #RIP

The Rickster (wondering how George Michael wrote Last Christmas and died on a Christmas).
