george-michael

*When the death of legendary British singer George Michael was announced on Sunday (12-25-16) the cause of death wasn’t immediately known. Now sources in a position to know say he died from heart failure.

Reports say he was sleeping throughout the episode and suffered no pain. One of Michael’s principal reps told TMZ the singer had not been ill, and had been working on a Showtime movie of his life that was set to air in England next March.

But the reality is that George Michael has passed away at his home in England at the age of 53.

It was confirmed by a rep for the now late singer

“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.”

MC Hammer and CBS “Late Late Show” host James Corden expressed their condolences on social media:
