George Michael on Health Recovery, Symphonica & White Light | Phil Marriott Interview 

George was and will always be a once in a lifetime talent

My condolences to all of George Michael's family.You have a great son, brother, uncle, friend, sweet.kind.real.Fantastic.Smart....I miss him already.I always will.Never met him.But adored him.I cry.Sorry.RIP George Michael.Here we always will love you.

What an amazing talented young man. He is human like everybody else. He had feelings, needed companionship and a strong rock which was his mom. I am so saddened by his death. He will never be forgotten.

Loved his honesty and quick wit. He was an outstanding humanitarian and massive talent. He was such a huge part of our era growing up . I hope his life and legacy will love on and be celebrated soon. He'll be sorely missed.

Only listening to this interview now, but I cry almost everyday over how much I miss George :( it devastates me to hear about all the projects he had planned which he never got to complete, I hope that his team decides to release some of his work eventually! as a gay person, his message and achievements mean so much more to me than I could even explain. I'm eternally grateful for George's music and the kind hearted, talented, angel he was (and still is somewhere). thank you, George. You have been loved.

Never in my wildest dreams did I think we'd lose our lovely, generous, kind hearted and extremely talented George. Still can't accept that he's gone now. A few weeks older than George, I grew up on his music & followed his life path. I thought of him as a friend, even tho I never got the chance to actually meet him. He was SO grounded & really upfront, not taking any $h!!t. God bless you George, you were taken too soon, but your music will live on in our hearts xxx

What a wonderful and talented man. He was also very well spoken, and I see why his father wanted him to go to school to pursue a career in who knows what--he is bright.

Still gutted. He simply was and is a rare gem. A sublime talent. Rest well

A great interview. Massive GM fan. Just listening to this makes it so much more tragic that he didn't get a chance to fulfil all the projects he was planning for the future. He will be missed every day but has left his fans an amazing legacy through his music.

A very intelligent, witty and interesting conversationalist with a huge amount of compassion for others.

What a brilliant interview! George sounds so happy here, I love his laugh. Such a sweet sweet man. Rest easy Angel, we will be listening to your music til the end of time .

George was so gifted in so many ways. He was my favorite music icon over the years. Was thrilled to hear he was making a comeback in 2017 and then this heartbreaking news of his death on Christmas Day. He left too soon but I'd forever cherish his memories. He left behind an admirable catalogue for his fans. Be at peace George, you will always be loved, in our minds and in our hearts.

so nice to be able to hear his nice voice .....after his sad passing.....RIP Yogi......i love you so much man.....

never heard this interview before. he sounded so happy. i still cannot believe that he left us...

Such a great interview,like all George gave.At the end I couldn't help but start crying...Big plans....R.I.P.my lovely George!

Great to hear him so open and free.....but hearing him talk about Fadi for the first time as far as I've found, to know - at least in 2012 - that he was in love, to hear him talk about the loss of MJ and Whitney and the impact, to hear that he was planning to be in the states in 2013, that he had 'big plans'.....it just breaks my heart so much more than it was already broken. So many lost possibilities..... So much wonder of what all went on in the years between this interview and last December..... Makes me hope even more that he never knew his end was at hand as he passed......

Great Interview, Sounds really Happy, So into his Music which he has always come across about him, such an interesting Man, So Honest and Humble, and yes Brave. Shining Star in the Universe Now Bless you George.

Good to hear his voice

see you in heaven sweet man! 😃❤👼

So sad to lose such an amazing talent!!RIP GM!!

i didnt know this interview exsisted. what a bonus, to hear his voice adain. xx

Nice interview GM sounds relaxed and on form ,,, damn shame he left so early .

You are so loved, more than you ever knew for your strength, honesty and pride for all you believed in and were...if you only knew how your honesty paved the way for others to look at life through different lenses..you are a gift of atypical depths and every word you wrote, every piece of music you composed every note you sang brought a peace no one else touched...as a gorgeous Greek man, you soul surpassed all we have watched...I will miss your voice, your humor, your life which you shared and your honesty and the sounds which radiated from your spirit... you left so early...my prayers to your family and may you rest in peace Georgio...I truly love you an will miss your presence.

god willing, it didn't happen in the us. He did the olympics. He went on to finish europe but cancelled in australia, due to anxiety. that was last times he performed. He did it all, better than anyone else. He sang with Pavarotti, Paris symphony, Freddie, Aretha, etc. He did so many charity concerts, mandela, africa, live aid, hope, elizabeth taylor, rio rock, freddie tribute. He did China, faith tour, cover to cover, symphonica, greatest, 25 years. He worked so hard and so long. He gave everything and more. He was a trailblazer in so many areas. How do we all come to grips with this? There is nothing more to say but I cry.

He could talk whatever , I would still listen to him...

Love hearing George’s voice! ❤️

Loved his music, he was a true artist with a beautiful voice. He will be missed.

George has helped me massively after nearly dying from psychiatric drugs. I miss him terribly.. He was not too far from where I lived.. Only saw him once in Radlett but never spoke to him. Love power and faith to George Michael x

I sincerely miss you....you were such a great talent , a beautiful person and deserved to be here with us for another 30 years with your wonderful voice and immense presence. We all miss you so much!

Thank you so much for sharing this. His fans now have the insatiable appetite that will never be quenched again. RIP our beautiful George Michael

Great interview. Sounds really happy & relaxed.

I'am so sad listening to George when he talked about his " LOVELY NEW MAN " ( Fadi Fawaz ) !!! We know now who this man really was . Such a shame ! After George's passing we discovered that he was only interested with George's money , insulted him on Twitter ... bringing great trouble to George's family .... George was too kind to imagine that . Poor George !

I have big plans,he said!george u r a witty,funny,georgous,talented,kind,giving man,miss u gem of a man.god keep u now he needed u with him on his birthday...rip💜💜💜

I love this, George is so kind and loving. One of a kind artist that cared for his family his friends his fans...the world. Bless him. xoxo

What a brilliant interview! George, sounded like he was really enjoying himself. When it was over I looked at the posting date and my heart sank. Just a little over a year and he was gone. How absolutely wonderful that you got to do this interview before his passing. Not only for you but for all his fans who simply adore him. Always Loved, Never Forgotten, Forever Missed xo

Besides George's humungous bankable musical talent and ability, his honesty was always so refreshing. A fantastic interview Phil.. George provided the soundtrack to so many people's lives via his music. Such a loss to this world.. We will forever miss him.

He seemed very comfortable in this interview.

Wow♡ What a beautiful soul♡

RIP GEORGE (SOUL FREE) THANKS 4 THE MEMORIES & YOUR MUSIC WILL CONTINUE 2 MOVE PEOPLE IN SO MANY WAYS SO SAD YOUR GONE-A NICE INTERVIEW THAT CAME ACROSS AS A RELAXED POSITIVE VIBE THAT GAVE US ALL AN INSIGHT 2 YOUR LIFE & WORK X X

Still cannot believe that's he's passed away. So young. George is our National Treasure and we will never ever forget him or be able to thank him enough for all that he gave us xxx

beautiful interview, of a beautiful man, youll be missed george

"ive definitely got big plans" god dammit, hope we still get to see the documentary that was supposed to be released in march and maybe hear a few new songs. i'm truly shocked and so sad. rip george. oh how i wish he was still alive (and he probably wishes that too).

Great interview, George was always so honest. The fact he mentions MJ and Whitney says a lot... And then in 2016 the world loses Prince and GM too. So sad.

Was he speaking of Fadi? I appreciate his honesty but I didn't understand his relationship choice with that man. I will always like George, I just don't like Shady Fadi. I guess I really thought he and Kenny relationship would survive. Again, I appreciate his honesty.

George talking so highly of Fadi here makes me feel so sick considering how it turned out and how bad for him fadi turned out to be.

Such A Talent ...Very Sad....RIP George Michael ♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡

One of a kind artist, fly high George we miss you dude!!!!

Thanks Phil, still being listened to and appreciated. George sounded so at ease with you.

So funny that he said that at least he provided a clean toilet for people making a pilgrimige to commemorate his arrest. Payback to Beverly Hills cops.

RIP George Michael

Beautiful XOxoxoxo ❤️ 🎶

I have been a real fan since I was in my 20's back in the 80's. Now, I just feel deep sadness. He had such an interesting personality and was a loving person. Anything I didn't agree with in his life, I didn't even think of because he was so incredibly talented. Musically he brought me joy and meaning in my entertainment. I will miss him terribly. I love you George.

Always loved his rich voice, both singing & speaking... he was a thoughtful, hardworking person, who didn't manage his demons; a very complex, human being with so much talent & much to give & give back! He's truly missed.

i wish you were alive to read how much we love you. i have someone i love who is gay. i use to be a homophobe. shame on me!!! when you came out i found that i loved you regardless and my phobia faded. is gone. yes i thank you for that and yes you were huge in my change

It sounds like he had so much living to do. Was hoping that one day I would get to see him at one of his concerts. So much talent gone forever.

Beautifull Interview xxx

So wonderful what he did for the Gay community.Bless you George

I think George might miss his ex.

Phil Marriott--- Wonderful interview with George Michael. It gives a glimpse into the last few years of his life and how much more he wanted to give us. I will miss him always---. With love... J

Oh my god I miss him so much. 💔💔💔💔. His music will forever live on! I found out about him 5 years ago when I was 10! He was just sooo relevant, such a talent, such a loss... Rest in peace from the U.S my one and only love.

His statements are so honest and meek. His voice itself is so soothing.

I miss him as if he was my own family. Heaven gained a hero and we all miss him so badly

Great interview. Such a delight conversation.

Great interview. What a talent. May he RIP.

Phil Marriot Thank you for a great interview. This is a treasure. He sounded so happy. Its so empty without him.

I still cry over him leaving. He was such a huge part of my childhood and teeny bopper years. I will always celebrate him, and all the beautiful songs he's gifted this world with. I will never get the chance to say Thank You...but THANK YOU YOG ❤️ I know that beautifully bright shining star in the sky, is you. We love you always!!!! 😘❤️

great interview

Fantastic interview Phil ! ~ Brent

im soo sad geprge michael sleep well 🕊

I couldn't believe when I heard it's such a loss he was a great performer and what a voice... He won't be forgotten... I can't stop listening to his music and watching his videos... RIP George... I loved you and wish I would've seen you in concert... Your Fan Linda from Indianapolis Indiana

Thank you so much uploading this interview, he's passing as affected me so much, my mum introduced me to he's music so there my connection with my mum, it's 8 years since my mum passed away he's music has help me with her not being in this world and understanding now lam mother myself thank you for beautiful music and honesty beautiful man God bless george

Wow great listen, how ironic was some of this. He had big big plans, to surprise his fans, he was working on great things to come. little did he know that it would be his death. Total shock and such a tragedy. We have all missed out on hIs continued talent. Hope we still get to see his documentary and new songs.

George Michael was a great musician and artist and as such he will forever be missed. I believe that, when it comes to his private life, we should less look into. He was no model as a gay man, but he will always be a model and an inspiration for the up-coming musicians. Lets remember him as a great artist and forget about his human errors.

Thank you Phil. Very nice interview, finally someone that listened to him without interrupting him. I also like how nice you were. Finally. I think George really had a good time. I certainly did.

What a brilliant interview. As much as I ADORE Careless Whisper, Outside has always made me happy. RIP you beautiful man. You have ALWAYS been loved. 💗💗💗💗💗

Never can get enough of YOU, my love, GEORGE. HAPPY BIRTHDAY my FOREVER LOVE. HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

Great Musician and performer that only come by once in our lifetime. Enjoy every moment when he speak and sing. Our memories since wham will remain forever and he left us so many good songs. Thanks for this valuable interview.

"Anyway it's quite butch, isn't it" ? Geez, I love this man ! 🥰 George's sense of humor is right up there, with all the other reasons we love him ! ❤ 💋💔

What an amazing interview. This interviewer is one of the best I have heard interview George Michael.

I adore George. what a phenomenal human being. so genuine, honest, good-natured, humorous, tender-hearted and kind! All that, and one of the greatest talents of his generation. i love everything about him and im so sad hes gone. RIP angel ❤

you are singing with the angels in heaven.🌷🌼🌹🌸❤👄💕💋

A very sad day when George died. Always remember him, by listening to his beautiful voice, and wonderful songs, to keep his memory alive.

wow amazing how he said he 'dodged a bullet' unlike Whitney and Jacko, li'l did he seem to know.......

George Michael may have gotten so tired of the media maybe he alive still and just wants peace so he living in a unknown place no one knows no one would want to be agrivated like he was anybody can fly some where unknown

Phil a great sensitive interview thanks for sharing I speak for many when I say he is really missed

He sounded like he was going to be here for a much longer time? But like a theif in the night.. His Life was over so sudden. Lord i hope he got it right before leaving Earth..what a talant and voice he had? Didnt even know his voice until after he passed away are killed are let die?? One handsome hunk of a man. But waisted life with the unatural affections of mens.. Loved his most beauitful voice...R.i.p.

What a lovely and in retrospect, sad and poignant interview.

What a beautiful soul!!!

He's talking is music itself. Never replacement, as a human, talent, songwriter and singer. ONE AND ONLY.

'I liked him better when he was straight' lol. 6:40. Such a fantastic talent with a great sense of humour even after what he went through

_"The black ravens and the white doves..."_ Such a shame the former won out.

Thank you so much for posting this interview. It makes me feel at peace to hear his voice once again. I grew up listening to his songs he was a huge part of my life in the sense of his music I'm very sad that he had to leave us so soon thank you again for this beautiful interview

Fantastic interview. Can't believe it's taken me this long to discover it. Love it. He is so missed.

My favorite all time star ever. I think when your in the mood there is no other music that can convey a feeling or that feeling you get when listening to him. Exspecially in florida or driving to the keys or somewhere warm near the ocean. My favorite artist he has the best voice and the power behind the voice is like theres so much more to spare and its like unexaustible and he sounds like he can just get the feeling across with his voice you can just feel what hes feeling. To me thats what music is its a feeling and his voice is the best. I have yet to hear someone better other than maybe a few songs by barbara striesand George Michael is the best voice and pop song singer that you can have.

As others said before me props to you for managing to make him so relaxed in your interview and enjoy it. I certInly did. And thank you for sharing with us this very privileged moment

God bless you, George! !!!!!!❤

This is gold talk! ❤️

Oh God George when you said you dodged a bullet... only--for it to catch up to you 5 years later. Oh how so many wish you were still here. The only thing that makes me feel better is knowing you are at peace now.

Oh...George 🌹🌹la tua voce così melodica e molto molto sexy. Mi manchi tantissimo 😢😢🖤🖤🖤🖤

I love him so gifted
