Only in his early 20s and seems so grounded and mature.

This is one of the best, happiest George Michael interviews I have watched. He was enjoying life then .

Rare to be that talented, that famous, and still be relatable and have your humanity in place. He was awesome.

He was such a lovely young man. My favourite singer. So talented. I'm so glad I grew up listening to his beautiful music.

Dang what a cutie🤩 Many have said it before, but how impressive is he to have such intellect and strong vocabulary for one so young and no formal post secondary education. His insight only continued to increase as he got older, wiser. It's nice to see him here genuinely happy and before the press hounded him. He never lost his sense of humanity regardless of what was thrown at him. Good on you, Georgie, we miss your face, cheeky grin and that obvious sparkle in your eye. Rest easy friend.

His expression when he talks about his mum - he loved her so much. Was so heartbreaking for him when she died, he was unable to write for a few years after her death. ❤ He kept this feeling and attitude about money all his life, donating tens of millions to various organizations to help people with health issues, children with mental health issues, etc - and living, for someone with a few hundred million pounds, a truly non-extravagant life. A good kind human being, all around.

He is so missed. Such a brilliant, talented, loving, caring and attractively humble. Soar with the Angels George!

I was an 11 year old boy in Scotland in 1986 , and George was my first crush. My auntie and myself both had posters of George on our bedroom walls. ❤❤❤

Only twice in my life have I ever cried for a celebrity … for Freddie Mercury and for our dear talented, kind and much missed George!!

Wonderful musician and human being. Very mature here at only 22. Still very sadly missed. Happy Christmas George.

I had the privilege of seeing him perform just a few months before he died. ‘A Different Corner’ is one of the most beautiful songs ever written - just divine. RIP.
