Now George Michael

Post by Graham Kennedy »

BBC is reporting George Michael is dead.

2016 strikes again.

The star, who launched his career with Wham! in the 1980s and continued his success as a solo performer, is said to have "passed away peacefully at home" in Goring, Oxfordshire.

Thames Valley Police say they are treating the death as unexplained but there were no suspicious circumstances.
That's an odd mix of statements - unexplained, but not suspicious?

I take it to mean that there hadn't yet been Michael's manager's statement, but there were no signs of foul play.
