    George Michael dies.

    Pop Superstar George Michael has died at the age of 53, his publicist has announced.
    The singer songwriter, who was set to release a documentary in 2017, passed away peacefully at home.
    Michael rose to fame as a member of Wham!, who are known for their hits Club Tropicana and Last Christmas.
    The star whose real name is Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou, sold more than 100 million albums throughout a career which spanned almost four decades.
    "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," a statement from Michael's publicist said.
    "The family would ask that their privacy be respected at this difficult and emotional time. There will be no further comment at this stage."
    "If the Republicans will stop telling lies about the Democrats, we will stop
    telling the truth about them." - Adlai Stevenson (1900-1965)
    “I’m not liberal/conservative, I’m anti-idiotarian.”

    One minute he was fine, and then Wham, it was his Last Christmas.
    I am surprised at such a sudden deterioration in a woman whose only ailment was a lazy anus.

    Hate hearing stuff like this. Hell of an act in the 80s.

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

It was a better deal for me.

    There are more famous people now than there ever were, and therefore, more people to be affected by that deadly bell curve, not 2016.

    That's the funny thing about math.
    Stay healthy my friends.
