This man brought much joy to my (much) younger years. When I saw him live, I managed to get myself (through proper means, of course) backstage. I shook the man’s hand and he kissed my cheek. He was so nice. I don’t care about the sordid news stories about him that later surfaced… he was a great guy who treated his fans well.
Rest in peace, GM. I’ll miss you.
But I need some time off from that emotion Time to pick my heart up off the floor When that love comes down without devotion Well it takes a strong man, baby But I’m showing you the door
Sandra is a writer, sometimes blogger, poet, artist, emotional disaster. She thinks far too much and sleeps far too little. Sandra lives in the Northeastern U.S. but dreams of an oceanfront home in Italy, but she would settle for a non-oceanfront home in Italy. She loves books, brutal honesty, coffee, and the color black. She hates insincerity, beer, whipped cream, and facebook. And she is uncomfortable talking about herself in the third person.
I guess… I don’t know… plenty of celebs younger than I have died… but I don’t seem to ever relate it to me. Maybe because they’re mostly due to drug overdose or something…
That makes a difference – the means of demise! I know I’m not going to die from an OD. I guess we wait and see what the actual cause of death is. Heart failure is rather vague. Everyone’s heart fails when they die.

I loved him and the music of Wham! He had a fabulous voice. Too bad later events seemed to overshadow a lot of his successes…

I sure hope not. When your contemporaries begin to drop off, it makes your world feel so much smaller. 😞
