Mwanamuziki nguli mwenye asili ya Uingereza, ambaye alijizolea umaarufu mnamo miaka ya 1980 kwa kuwika ulimwenguni kutokana na mtindo wake wa mahadhi ya pop, amefariki dunia.
George Michael amekufa akiwa na umri wa miaka hamsini na tatu(53). Msemaji wa mwanamuziki huyo amesema kwamba nguli huyo aliaga dunia akiwa nyumbani kwake Oxfordshire.
Kundi la Wham lilijipatia umaarufu ulimwengu mzima na kupata mafanikio makubwa kwa tungo zao kama 'Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go' na 'Careless Whisper'
kundi hilo lilijizolea umaarufu na kuwa kundi la kwanza la Magharibi kwa miondoko ya pop kufanya onesho la kimuziki nchini China.
Bendi hiyo iliposambaratika, George Michael aliendelea kujizoelea umaarufu akiwa mwanamuziki wa kujitegemea.
Katika kipindi cha muongo uliopita alikuwa akisumbuliwa na maradhi yasababishwayo na utumizi wa dawa za kulevya, ikiwemo kuendesha gari kwa kasi na kupoteza mwelekeo na kuingia kwenye duka mjini London huku akiwa amelewa dawa za kulevya.

British pop star George Michael has died, his family said in a statement. The musician, who shot to fame with the 1980s duo Wham!, was 53 years old.
"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 statement said.
Wham! scored big with hits such as "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" and "Careless Whisper."
Michael went on to a successful solo career; his 1987 debut album "Faith" sold more than 10 million copies.
Britain's Thames Valley Police said they were called to a property in Goring-on-Thames shortly before 2 p.m. on Sunday and confirmed the death of a 53 year-old man at the scene.
In a statement, the agency said: "At this stage the death is being treated as unexplained but not suspicious."
Condolences poured in on social media.
Russell Crowe tweeted: "RIP George Michael"
Singer Elton John said he "lost a beloved friend - the kindest, most generous soul and a brilliant artist. My heart goes out to his family and all of his fans."
In 1998, Michael told CNN in an exclusive interview that he was gay.
"This is as good of a time as any," he told CNN's Jim Moret then. "I want to say that I have no problem with people knowing that I'm in a relationship with a man right now. I have not been in a relationship with a woman for almost 10 years."
Michael's comments came shortly after he was booked for an investigation of misdemeanor lewd conduct and released on $500 bail. The singer was alone in the restroom of a Beverly Hills park when an undercover officer saw him allegedly commit the act.
Michael, whose real name is Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou, apologized to his fans for the alleged incident. He said he hoped they would stand by him.
