George Michael, Dead at 53

George Michael

George Michael was 53. He was the pop singer who launched his career with Wham! in the 1980s and continued his success as a solo performer.

On a personal note, this one strikes me square in the nostalgia bone. I owned Wham!'s Make It Big on cassette and loved it. I've written not once but twice about the role Careless Whisper played in my primary school life.

Just two days ago, while recording the 209th episode of Toronto Mike'd, I reminiced about Wham! and George Michael's Faith album after playing Last Christmas.
