George Michael’s Partner Speaks About His Death
While George Michael is up in Heaven waiting for the angels to finish making him a sexy white leather biker jacket with holes cut in the back for his wings, his long-term boyfriend Fadi Fawaz is filling us in on some of the details of his death on Sunday.
Yesterday, Fadi let it be known on Twitter that he was the first to find George after he left this world.
ITs a xmas i will never forget finding your partner dead peacefully in bed first thing in the morning.. I will never stop missing you xx

That sort of heavy admission would usually require a little more context than Twitter’s 140 characters will allow, so Fadi elaborated further to The Telegraph. Fadi, who was with George since 2011, says he discovered George’s body in bed after swinging by George’s house to pick him up on Sunday for a Christmas Day lunch.
“I went round there to wake him up and he was just gone, lying peacefully in bed. We don’t know what happened yet. Everything had been very complicated recently, but George was looking forward to Christmas, and so was I. Now everything is ruined. I want people to remember him the way he was – he was a beautiful person.”
George Michael’s ex-man of 13 years, Kenny Goss, also released a statement about George’s death.
“I’m heartbroken with the news that my dear friend and long time love George Michael has passed. He was a major part of my life and I loved him very, very much. He was an extremely kind and generous man. The beautiful memories and music he brought to the world will always be an important part of my life and those who also loved and admired him.”
The Telegraph clearly wanted to temper that niceness with some not-so-niceness. George Michael’s manager Michael Lippman recently told Billboard that George Michael died from cardiac arrest. Well, The Telegraph spoke to a source who says that the cardiac arrest George Michael suffered was the result of a heroin addition. The source claims George was rushed to the hospital on several occasions because of it.
I’m sure 2016 would love for this already sad story to end on a sadder note, but that’s not going to happen. We all knew George Michael was a top-shelf hunk and had a voice that sounds like a hot tub feels, but we now know how generous he was. Not long after George Michael passed on to the other world, people took to Twitter to talk about his on-the-low philanthropy.
A woman on 'Deal Or No Deal' told us she needed £15k for IVF treatment. George Michael secretly phoned the next day and gave her the £15k.

I wrote in a piece ages ago about a celeb I'd worked with tipping a barmaid £5k because she was a student nurse in debt. Was George Michael.

George Michael was also the only star on HWTBAMillionaire who, when gambling all the charity's cash, said "if I lose it, I'll just pay it".

I don’t know if they have Twitter in Heaven. But if they do, then George Michael had better be prepared to start cutting some checks to some needy angels. “Hey George. So, Jesus backed into my cloud last week, and he said he’d pay for the repairs, but he keeps paying me in fishes and bread. I’ve been reading Twitter, and it sounds like you’re the person I should be talking to.”
