New Music!
This is How

God I miss his voice so much, this makes me happy sad.

It features in the forthcoming rom-com Last Christmas - a movie co-written by Emma Thompson and based around the star's songbook. George Michael: Upbeat new song premieres on Radio 2

Emma Thompson’s involved in this, I’m totally sold now.

Yes, she was on Seth Meyers last week discussing the movie... and hedgehogs.

Topic: she said she talked to George about the movie before his death (she's been working on it since 2011!) and got his blessing.

Fitz, is the status of hedgehogs in Ireland as dire as it is in the UK?

.... I got Emma Thompson confused with Emma Watson, and couldn’t figure out how she’d have been working on a George Michael, project while going to college and wrapping up Harry Potter..... I better get some tea into myself and get it together 🤣

24 / 7 George on SiriusXM

This week only, for the upcoming Last Christmas, which does look really cute.

I miss his voice too. Looking at his Wikipedia Discography, American Radio completely ignored him after the scandal. He should have had huge hits in "Outside", "As" "Amazing" and "Flawless"

“As” with Mary J Blige just shuffled around on my gadget and it’s an amazing song I’m so surprised that it made no ground in US charts but I guess as you said American Radio ignored him after the “scandal”
The video for Outside is biggest to hell with it this i don’t give a shit so deal with it! Evah!
And he looked great as Disco diva in Cop Uniform!

And the shuffle gadget confirms to me my favorite Wham! song is Everything she wants! An abbsolute tune!

George's younger sister was found dead on Christmas day how utterly awful and tragic for the remaining family and friends. Mxy heart is broken for them all.

Oh, how dreadful! I've been thinking of George Michael on the anniversary of his death. And, of course, "Last Christmas" hits the airwaves this time of year. How terrible for their family to lose two siblings on the same day and for that day to be Christmas.

[Spinderella]

This is terribly tragic! Both died in their homes, on Christmas Day and were very close siblings. I think of his song "Last Christmas" and the many meanings it has now that both he and his sister died that day.

December Song
For George and his sister, I hope his family are doing ok, Christmas must be so very hard for them.

I’ve been listening to a lot of his music lately. He was so talented.

Wham's Last Christmas has finally topped the UK charts - 36 years after its release.
Congrats to Wham!
Shocked it never got to number One in Uk before. Funny I hadn’t heard it this year, but then I really only listen to radio now in the car and thanks to the thing I’ve not been going anywhere much to be in the car!

Off to give it a watch/ listen now

It’s 10 years since as part of a Comic Relief sketch for BBC James Corden as character Smithy did the first car pool karaoke with George Michael (well able to poke fun at himself here)
I can’t believe it’s 10 yrs and that George is gone and Corden has a chat show career!
I do love a good carpool karaoke tho( my fav one probably the Paul McCartney one)
George was the first tho.

( o/t it was this comic relief reminded too that it will be 10 yrs this summer that Amy Winehouse died! there was a look back at music artist that have guested on this charity telethon thing)

He certainly knew how to write "happy" songs as well as "broken heart" songs, as evidenced in the (way too short) video.
"I'm Your Man"
"Wake Me Up Before You Go Go"
"Club Tropicana"
"Freedom" Fun, sing along stuff.
