George Michael

Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou (June 25, 1963 - December 25, 2016), known professionally as George Michael, was a British singer, songwrite, and record producer, who rose to fame as a member (with Andrew Ridgeley) of the music duo Wham!. He was best known in the 1980s and 1990s with his style of post-disco dance pop, with best selling songs such as "Last Christmas" and "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go".

Death
On December 25, 2016, George Michael died at his home in Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom. He was 53 years old. No cause of death was immediately determined; although his manager Michael Lippman conjectured that heart failure was the cause of death, and that Michael had "passed away peacefully". On December 29, 2016, a post-mortem was undertaken to determine the cause of death but was inconclusive. Further tests were carried out and on March 7, 2017, a senior coroner in Oxfordshire attributed the death to natural causes as the result of a dilated cardiomyopathy with myocarditis and a fatty liver.
