RIP Sir Michael Parkinson (March 28, 1935 - August 16, 2023), aged 88 And RIP George Michael (June 25, 1963 - December 25, 2016), aged 53 You both will be remembered as legends.
George's demise bowled me over, I haven't recovered. I don't think I ever will. A gifted musician and songwriter, an extraordinary singer and a great human being with a beautiful soul and a huge heart. Rest in peace George, you are loved.
jeffervescence very very true , I feel the same , your words are so true and I think express the feelings of many of his fans thanks for your admiration for George He was a true superstar and gentlemen with heaps of charisma 🙏 No one come close
George was so adorable in that 1998 Parkinson Show. His honesty and great sense of humor were so endearing. Here he looks so sexy. I admire him for speaking out against the Iraq War too. A man of principal plus a musical genius with the best pop voice ever. And those dimples didn't hurt either! He had such a nice laugh too.
I’m 9 years older than GM, but I’m still playing his music every day since his death.....why?.? I just loved everything he wrote & sang,such talent. I was in a state of compleat shock when GM died,& I’m still in shock I watch all his dvds My family live round the corner from his house in Highgate & I’ve seen him Putting his beloved dog Abby & Meg in his Range Rover, my sister tells me that on her way home in the evening she’s seen him on several occasions & has to say that he was a very pleasant man,especially when he saw her in her nurses uniform asking her how her day has been,what hospital did she work in etc,she is only a year younger than me.How lucky was she to even get to talk to him!!
Wow how nice i was in shock also when he passed away i didnt know till boxing day i nearly passed out with the shock i was so upset and had to do a party i dont kn ow how i got through it and even driving to work for along time i could have cried that may sound abit sad to other people but George's songs helped me a lot.💜
GM was so confident with Michael Parkinson . He said once to him : " He is my therapist " .😂😂 All his interviews on Parkinson were so nice and funny . Both were so charming and George was like an open book . ❤❤
Thank you for uploading complete video. Its so delightful as usual to watch George. Earthly minded man who inspite of his distressing disturbing experiences had a great sense of humour.
It's so nice to see George laughing, smiling & enjoying the company of others. It is weird how usually he is alone with a reporter or with the band on stage....and the interactions are totally different. Thank you for posting. I will remember him laughing & smiling.💕
Best singer in the world and his voice was magnificent. I never heard anyone that knew George ever say a bad word about him, except that he was kind, soft, and a lovely person. He was anti war, and he stood up and was counted for, when no others did in the music industry, he wasn't ruled by anything or anybody, he was not afraid, that's how great he was. Truly missed, His father must be so proud of him. God bless him xx
Girls fought over him from when he was *7* haha... he had it from back then, some things never change! Fascinating story about his brain injury causing obsession with music right after, wow
Sadly missed. I think that his death has really effected people from my generation a lot harder that they anticipated. I know personally, that it has been a really strange time since he passed away.
i am glad there are people who echo the same. when i posted such sentiment people who are younger replied that they feel it as much as we do and i had no right to say what it meant to our generation. I don't doubt that the world has it's own association with GM - for me it was that he was three years older than me - fancied him like hell when at school and in his Faith years. And the fact that his life has run on a parallel to ours, and yet a sudden death has just caught us all out. That too surrounded with the view that he was not 100% happy, we feel his pain and the hole now is just inexplicable. It also tells us how fragile life is. Thanks for your comment Sean.
I still miss you miss miss miss miss you....damn damn damn....😢😢😢 Such integrity such warmth such truth. What a beautiful and incredible human being. I'm so pleased to hear about his spirituality. I'm not into organised religion either but I'm very spiritual too. I get him soooo much and understand his privacy and right to privacy. That's why I respect and very much love him always! Xxx😢❤💕😢xxxxxxx 2019 xxxxx😢😢😢😢😢
there was a point in time that this man made himself into the biggest pop star in the world....he wrote his own stuff. .at 25 years old....he was brilliant. I am as straight as a sword , but I love his music and him as a good man. I love the 80s and the older I get the more and more I long for those days...George and his music were a big part of those days for me...Thanks for the great memories George.....it is still hard to believe you are gone
I never paid any attention to him as a person, though I was a huge fan of his music (we're close in age), and I was a huge fan of Wham! I regret that I didn't follow his life as a "real person". These interviews show me that he was a bright, thoughtful, caring, and very giving person. A major talent, like so many, lost way too soon. So very, very sad. Thank you, George. We had some great times together.
He is Truly missed. I loved this man as a Person, Mega Star and for his Songwriting, Producing & Vocal Talent. I'm glad to have lived in the Era of George Michael, Prince, Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston.
It's funny.......like a mother, (I have two grown children) and after almost 5 years of trying to figure out why George died I end up angry over the waste of it all. And then, I watch an interview like this and while bittersweet I'm not angry anymore. At least for a while. It's just that he could have done so much more. If not musically then something else profound. He had it in him...............but then perhaps he is back here now beginning his new and hopefully less painful journey. I'd like to think that.
George was an amazing guy. Can you think of another superstar who could sit there and have a conversation with you about something that wasn't centred on himself.
His generosity and acknowledgement of his position puts other celebs to shame. What a warm, gifted and talented human being he was, and such a loss to the world of music and all who knew him
Thank you so much for sharing this gem !! i was very sad and shaken when George left and I am now just starting to function "normally"...I will always feel as if I've lost my first love...and in a way I think I have. RIP George, you have been loved ...
I have to say that I really enjoyed George in this Parkinson interview,it shows George as a relaxed guy with a great spence of humour He quickly glosses over about how happy & in love with his boyfriend Kenny who in 2004 they had been together 8 years. I wish in the end things would have ended differently for the two of them,it's very obvious to me that they loved each other dearly,but they both had their demons to deal with Very beautiful man,sexy & extremely articulate what a great combo Love you,will always love you.....R.I.P.
God has blessed george with more than anything can imagine he is funny brilliant sweet shy loving generous and so good looking I wish I had known him sooner. I am so hooked on his music . I am very sad he has left us..I hope I see him in heaven
GM removed himself from life indirectly with unorotected sex, drugs, reclusion. And I personally think GM and his sister Melanie commited suicide on their mother's birthdays.
George was an amazingly talented, soulful, and kind man. His heart was huge and I hate the backlash that he received from the US. He did not deserve it. May his soul rest in blissful peace.
yes but he is that intelligent he made nonsense of the usa backlash and shown his real character to laugh at himself through all the nonsense,and wrote a tune about it,Legend x
He is the most genuine person and truly wonderful and the greatest singer ever blessed. I love all his songs and I'm so sad he's gone. My so and george have the same birthday my son is gone too.
Watching this, it's not hard to see why almost every celebrity who tweeted their tributes when he passed referred to him as "a gentle soul," "that gentle boy," etc. There's touches of the angel in him. It's like he was sent from above to help us heal our own pain.
I think he was an angel that was sent from above to entertain us but to show us things in life that we need to think about and yes, of course to HEAL OUR PAIN.. 2023 He is my favorite of all time. I am 81 and the meanings to his songs still "ring true to my heartstrings"!
I never once thought he was a communist or a fairy- i love his music, sad for what he went through and just dont understand why i wasn't his girlfriend... RIP sweet George
What a fabulous interview, I've never seen this & found myself laughing out loud George was at his best,very funny😂😂😂 I still can't believe that he's gone never to be seen again Love him very much, good night dear George & rest easy
George is very articulate and forthright, but he still comes across shy when he speaks. I notice he doesn't look at who he's talking to a lot of the time.
and it is a very endearing quality. To have it all is a little too much! If he was articulate, forthright and not shy, he would of been Tony Robbins, not George Michael. lol
William Shakepear said that no legacy is as rich as honesty. Pity that we, your lovelies cant pay our tribute to you.Remember that we cherish and love you my dear friend..
you can pay tribute by listening to his music thats all he wanted to do was make people happy with music thats the best tribute he can get play it loud and proud i need to take my own advice i slacked a bit since he passed
How great is he doesn't mind paying high tax and letting people download his music for free. You so would of been a better prime minister than the past 3 to 4 prime minister's in England. Love u George Michael u were fabulous in EVERYTHING u did and said. Miss u we dont know what weve lost UNTIL its gone, THANKGOD I KNEW WHAT A TREASURE U WERE FROM THE START OF WHAM❤🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🔉🔉🎚🎤🎤🎤🎺🎻🎻🎸🎸💽💽💽🤗🤗
Goerge Michael makes me feel like I’ve never listened music before. Each time I’m listening his sensual voice my heart beats so fast. His songs lyrics are just so deep. Let’s talk about his smile?! Love you forever xxx
George must have been so fed up having to talk about his sexuality as opposed to his masterful music, but he did he clearly was not a prima donna. Finally, let's give a shout out to John's impersonations, also Bill. Wow this was a pleasure to watch in 2022
Respect to Michael Parkinson. Such a lovely respectful man. Wow. How many people in the public eye can compare. Love and RESPECT to this incredible human being! 💜💓💔💕💖💘💝💞💟💋xxxx 2019 xxxx Such vision and such awareness from this beautiful man that chose to go and left in such shock and disbelief! Xxx😇
I loved his chats with Michael Parkinson and so did he. George told Michael Parkinson he was like a therapist to him. Their talks were always so entertaining. I wonder if they kept in touch after 2007.
Thanks for this... George is always such a great interview! I have posted an acoustic piano & vocal version of Praying for Time in tribute to George, which can be viewed by clicking on my page. Thanks to George and all the people around the world who love his music.
He was the full package good looking amazing singer brilliant song writer beautiful soul would have gave everything he had away to help someone r I p George ❤❤❤
George Michael is a good singer songwriter and has an angelic voice to loved. You will see him look happy but deep inside he is broken hearted and can’t find a love until he died coz of his singing career. Now his gone he is in the hand of god . And I’ll missed his beautiful face and his smile. And never forget coz all of his music is still there to made him alive. Christmas or not I’m still listening to his song specially his song “ last Christmas”. George Michael merry Christmas in heaven December 19,2022. 👍🙏❤️☘️🌸
I Am Not Gay...But!!....I love this man! What a beautiful person! What a joy he brought to the world and what a loss he is to his family,friends and fans!! Tyfs! :)
Paul, it takes a lot of courage for a 'straight' man to say something like that, so I thank you for being so honest. If only more men could be more open like that.
omg, thirty years ago, I SO wanted George Michael to come to the Allegheny mountains, of pennsylvania, and make me his wife. HAHAHAHAHAHA. WHAT A SAD JOKE. I had a poster of George in my college dorm. I guess I am the loser. yikes.
As a gay man who has had ongoing issues with my orientation. I’m so glad that George got to finally live a good life as a gay man. He was a huge loss to humanity but an even greater loss to the LGBTQ+ community. I will miss him forever. He helped me through his songs. I can never repay that.
Such a nice guy and great pop singer and writer. Still shocked by his demise. Seems so insane that fame can bring someone down as it is did with him and so many others (Prince, Elvis)
❤ Great ❤ George ❤ You are something very special ❤ always in my heart ❤ and absolutely ❤ ❤ UNFORGETTABLE ❤ I love ❤ and miss 😢 you 😢 ❤ forever and ever ❤ ❤ of all time ❤
