George Michael’s 100m fortune to go to Godchildren

The Wham! singer was the Godfather to Roman and Harley Kemp – the children of his band’s vocalist Shirlie Holliman and her husband Spandau Ballet bassist Martin Kemp – and has reportedly asked for his estate to be divided up between them following his shock death from heart failure at the age of just 53 on Christmas Day . The ‘Careless Whisper’ hitmaker is also expected to leave a wad of cash to Geri Horner’s 10-year-old daughter Bluebell, who is the Goddaughter of his ex-boyfriend Kenny Goss, and will make sure his older sisters Melanie and Yioda, his boyfriend Fadi Fawaz and his cousin Andros’ two children, to whom he is also a Godfather, are left in a financially stable condition.

George Michael, the English singer-songwriter who shot to stardom as a teen idol in the 1980s as half of the pop duo Wham! and went on to become one of the era’s biggest pop solo artists with hits such as “Faith” and “I Want Your Sex,” died over the Christmas holiday, The Associated Press has confirmed. He was 53. Michael, whose career was marred by a 1998 arrest for engaging in a lewd act in a Beverly Hills park restroom, died peacefully at home, his publicist said.

But now, prompted by the death of George Michael to recall that time, I can see that the concert I attended was more than just a musical first, it was a symbol of the changes that were setting China on the road to the country it is today. ) had started the ball rolling in the late 1970s by opening the country to foreign trade and bringing in the idea of entrepreneurism, and the period from late 1984 to 1986 was an interesting time to be in the Chinese capital as it felt as if Deng’s ideas had started to really gather pace.
