George Michael’s generosity revealed as world mourns tragic death
AS George Michael’s boyfriend Fadi Fawaz told of how he found him dead in bed, reports have emerged of the superstar’s secret battle with heroin.
According to The Daily Telegraph UK, a source said over the past year he is thought to have been battling a spiralling heroin addiction.
The source also revealed that Michael had been treated in hospital for an overdose.
The source told The Daily Telegraph: “He’s been rushed to A&E on several occasions. He used heroin. I think it’s amazing he’s lasted as long as he has.”
The news comes as fans, friends and charities have paid tribute to the generosity of the pop icon who secretly donated millions to good causes.
The reclusive pop superstar died at his home on Christmas Day from suspected heart failure.
Fellow musician Sir Elton John said he was in “deep shock” at the loss of “a beloved friend”.
As the world mourned his death, one of the final pictures taken of Michael in public showed the former teen heart-throb looking bloated while dining at an Oxfordshire restaurant with friends in September this year.
The revelations come as Fawaz, his celebrity hairdresser boyfriend, posted a heartfelt tribute online. Michael and Fawaz have been together ever since his last tour of Australia back in 2010.
“Its a xmas i will never forget finding your partner dead peacefully in bed the first thing in the morning.. I will never stop missing you xx,” he wrote.
Fawaz told The Daily Telegraph UK that he and Michael had planned to spend Christmas Day together.
“We were supposed to be going for Christmas lunch. I went round there to wake him up and he was just gone, lying peacefully in bed. We don’t know what happened yet,” he told The Telegraph.
“Everything had been very complicated recently, but George was looking forward to Christmas, and so was I.
“Now everything is ruined. I want people to remember him the way he was — he was a beautiful person.”
GEORGE’S SECRET GENEROSITY
Michael, 53, had largely disappeared from the public stage in recent years but in private he was extraordinarily generous with his wealth.
The former Wham! singer donated royalties from some of his biggest hits to charity, gave a game show contestant thousands to fund IVF treatment and left a woman in a cafe £25,000 ($42,600) after overhearing her crying about debt.
