TotallyOz Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Such a true tragic loss for the world. He was so talented. I still can't get the duet he did with Elton John out of my head. I loved watching him and his music. I do hate the the media overseas keep saying that he is homosexual. Why is that relevant? When a superstar that is straight dies, do they say, Whitney Houston, the heterosexual singer has died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still am mourning over his death as I had a major crush on this man for years. His music will continue to live on, and definitely not forgotten as a gay icon in the music industry. RIP George!!!
