    My gosh !! and only 53. He struck me as a bit of a tortured soul.
    This is very sad indeed.

    Not really a fan but I'll readily admit to using 'careless whisper' as an audition track for kit in the past.

    I love that track.
    One of these days... I'm going to cut you into little pieces.

    If I were a Bob Dylan, Elton John, Paul McCartney etc I'd be locking myself in a sealed room with armed guards outside the door and someone tasting all my food until Jan 1st.....

    Not a fan of Wham, but his later solo material is very nice.

    Cowboys and Angels is simply stunning.

    Very sad and shocked

    Condolences to his family, friends and fans. A loss to music.
    Regards Neil
