George Michael Dies at 53
The star has passed away at his home aged just 53 - his publicist released the following statement.
"It is with great sadness that we can confirm our beloved son, brother and friend George passed away peacefully at home over the Christmas period."
"The family would ask that their privacy be respected at this difficult and emotional time - there will be no further comment at this stage."
George Michael was born Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou and raised to fame as a member of Wham!
He then went on to have a successful solo career - selling more than 100 million albums throughout his career.
Earlier this year it was announced that George Michael was working on a new album but also a new documentary.
The last post on his Instagram profile (which is run by the georgemichael.com team) said the following - "George Michael is busy putting the finishing touched to his special documentary 'Freedom' - he has discovered some incredible, unseen archive footage and is shooting additional interviews for the project. The film will now air in March 2017. It promises to be a real treat for fans!"
All we can say is that his music will live on forever and our thoughts go out to his family and friends at this difficult time.
