Media: Relatives of George Michael were not invited to the funeral of his boyfriend. George Michael's ex-partner Fadi Fawaz breaks his silence

During the investigation, new circumstances of the mysterious death of a pop star were revealed.

British singer George Michael, whose body was found on December 25 last year in his own house in the city of Goring upon Thames (Oxfordshire, UK), has repeatedly tried to part with his friend for the past year and a half. This is reported by the British edition of the Daily Mail.

The musician dated hairstylist Fadi Fawaz for five years. The couple did not hide their relationship: the press was full of romantic photos of friends. A source close to Michael's family told reporters that the artist lacked the firmness to say "no" to Fawaz. The singer repeatedly told a friend that he no longer wanted to see him, but each time he gave in to pleas not to drive him away.

“George was generally too kind and his main weakness was just the inability to say no to all sorts of temptations, be it sex or drugs,” the singer’s entourage notes. However, on the day of his death, he nevertheless excommunicated Fadi from his home - that is why he, as reported, did not spend the night at home on the fateful night.

Relatives of George Michael claim that he did not have any significant health problems. Drug addiction is a thing of the past. However, it turned out that a month before his death, he, along with Fawaz, flew to Vienna on a private plane - there he visited the AKH General Hospital clinic, where in 2011 he was saved from pneumonia. Then the grateful artist gracefully thanked the doctors by giving them a thousand invitation cards to his concerts. Was it a friendly visit or was Michael being tested?

There is no need to talk about depression, loneliness, which could, for example, cause suicide. The police found that dozens of people visited Michael in the last days before his death. The singer was in a great mood and was preparing to celebrate Christmas properly. Perhaps something will be clarified by the toxicological examination, which will be ready within 6-8 weeks.

Former partner of George Michael Fadi Fawaz took to his Twitter page after a report was released on March 7 that the famous musician died of natural causes. Oxfordshire Senior Coroner Darren Salter has confirmed that George Michael, 53, who was found dead at his home in Oxfordshire on December 25, 2016, has died of heart and liver disease. This announcement put an end to persistent tabloid gossip that the singer may have died as a result of a drug overdose.

After the tragic death of singer Fadi Fawaz, who first met Michael in 2009 after the latter's split with American art dealer Kenny Goss, found himself in the crossfire of the press. Numerous tabloids tirelessly delved into the couple's private life in the hope of discovering at least something criminal.

Despite the complete absence of any facts pointing to Fawaz's inappropriate behavior, The Sun published an article in which he demanded that the 43-year-old hairdresser answer questions such as "Who exactly got the drugs?" and "Why do George's friends accuse you of sucking juices out of him like a leech?"

After the coroner's report was released on March 7, Fawaz posted on his Twitter page a short and concise response to all who demanded an explanation about where he was and what he did on the night of Michael's death. F**K YOU.

Fawaz later posted a black-and-white photo of himself and Michael with the caption, "Now everyone knows the truth."

According to the coroner's report, George Michael died of dilated cardiomyopathy and myocardial inflammation, as well as fatty liver. The causes of death were found to be natural and no further investigation is required. (Dilated cardiomyopathy is a lesion of the heart muscle, characterized by a pronounced increase in the cavities of the heart and a decrease in the contractility of the ventricles. Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle, as a result of which its main functions are impaired: excitability, conductivity and contractility. Fatty infiltration of the liver is a disease in which the liver cells there is an accumulation of fat, which leads to an increase in liver failure.The causes of these diseases are very different - infections, alcohol abuse, congenital predisposition, etc.)

It is known that in recent years the musician had various health problems, and in 2011 he was hospitalized with pneumonia, which forced him to postpone a series of concerts.

George Michael (real name - Yorgos Kyriakos Panayiotu) was born in London on June 25, 1963 and began his musical career in the 1980s as part of the duo wham! For all the time of Michael's creative activity, about 100 million copies of his records have been sold. He has seven singles, which became the first in the UK and eight - headed BillboardHot 100 in the USA. George Michael is one of the UK's most commercially successful pop musicians.

Darren Hayes, Jodie Foster, Ricky Martin and Ronaldo - confessions of music, film and sports stars about same-sex relationships became a sensation. But the first, perhaps, was the British singer George Michael. And from him, seen either with actress Brooke Shields, or with models Linda Evangelista and Pat Fernandez, or with makeup artist Katie Yong, no one expected a coming-out.

Michael came out as gay in 1998 after a scandalous incident with a police officer in a public restroom in Beverly Hills and subsequent arrest for "indecent acts." A public statement about homosexuality negatively affected the artist's career. The fans were shocked that the tale of a handsome enviable groom collapsed, and turned away from the singer.

As a result, Michael's popularity plummeted along with the sales of his records, which caused a creative crisis. In 2007, the singer admitted that he hid his orientation for so long, fearing only the reaction of his mother. Like, she was afraid that her only son had inherited the "gay gene" from his uncle named Colin, who committed suicide. "She thought she was the bearer of the gene and in a certain way allowed my father to be homophobic. My father, a Greek Cypriot by nationality, a man of the old school, would never accept that his son was gay, and my mother was afraid of him" , the singer said.

Later, the singer will tell that he had only three girls in his life. And his first big love among men was the Brazilian designer Anselma Feleppa. They met at a festival in Rio in 1991, and six months later Anselm was diagnosed with AIDS. In 1993, the designer died, after which George did not care about the opinion of his parents. He decided to open up to them. “I wrote them a letter of four pages. Mother said that it was the most wonderful letter she had ever read,” the artist recalled.

Since then, Michael's love interests have become public knowledge every now and then. In 1996, he claimed that he had met the man of his dreams, Kenny Goss, an athlete from Dallas. They had houses in London and Dallas. George kept saying that they would be married to Kenya soon. But the plans were not destined to come true. The couple broke up in 2009, and this relationship will eventually become the singer's longest. According to close sources, the ex-boyfriend was tired of the musician's drug addiction and his difficult relationship with the police, and the last straw was the arrest of George Michael for a month for possession of hashish.

Since the fall of 2011, Michael has been dating Faddy Favats. It was Faddi who was next to the singer when he became seriously ill with pneumonia and canceled the Symphonica world tour. In the summer of 2012, George Michael and Fadi Favac were on a yacht and shared personal photos on Twitter. It was he who became the last love of an artist who was given so little - George Michael tonight at the age of 53.

For almost two months, investigators have been trying to find out the cause of George Michael's death and are not allowed to give his body to the ground. Meanwhile, the singer's relatives are preparing for the funeral and, in the light of new circumstances, they do not want to see Michael's boyfriend Fadi Fawaz at the funeral.

Hunting for money

Those close to George Michael, who died suddenly on December 25, have always disliked his beloved Fadi Fawaz, believing that he was with the singer solely for the sake of fame and money. Now that the multi-million dollar fortune of a musician who has no direct heirs is at stake, the celebrity's relatives, seeing a competitor in Fadi, are trying in every possible way to protect themselves from possible claims from his side.

Persona non grata

If the blood relatives of George Michael do not openly express their negative attitude towards the stylist, but simply boycotted him, then Andros Georgiou (a childhood friend of the deceased star) will continue to give interviews. The other day, he said that the singer's relatives consider Fafaz to be a gigolo and are not going to invite him to Michael's funeral, especially after they learned that he did not immediately help George.

belated call

It was Fadi who found the lifeless musician, but earlier the police had no complaints against him. After the man's testimony, investigators called him innocent of George's death. Everything can change...

As the journalists found out, it follows from the materials of the case that the confused Fawaz did not immediately call the rescue service. For an hour, the man tried to bring his boyfriend to his senses on his own, and only realizing that he was powerless, he called the doctors. Speaking to the ambulance operator, the stylist said:

"Yes. I've been trying to revive him for the last hour. It's impossible. He's gone, he's blue, he's dead."

As you know, the body of George Michael, who died suddenly at the end of December, has not yet been interred: the police have not yet established the cause of death of the musician. In the meantime, the star's relatives are already planning a funeral, which is likely to be attended by more than one hundred people. But there is a person that Michael's family does not want to see there - his boyfriend, a stylist.

Recall that Michael met with Fawaz for the last five years and it was Fawaz who discovered the lifeless musician in his bed and called an ambulance. The police interrogated the stylist as part of the investigation, but did not admit any guilt to him. However, just the other day, a recording of Fadi's phone call to the rescue service on that Christmas morning on January 25 was leaked to the press. From the conversation it becomes clear that Fawaz spent an hour trying to bring his friend to his senses. And before that, I had been waiting for his awakening for 4 hours. After this sensational leak, journalists, fans, and relatives of the pop star began to speculate that 53-year-old George Michael could have been saved if his lover had acted more quickly. And why he did not raise a panic earlier is a big question.

But not only this revolts relatives and the late Michael. The other day, a childhood friend of the late singer, Andros Georgiou (the same one who previously suggested that the singer died from), told The Sun newspaper that all his relatives were extremely hostile to George Michael's companion in recent years. “They know who he really is: everyone thinks Fadi is a gigolo, a money hunter. Nobody is going to invite him to the funeral, because George was going to break up with him after Christmas, ”Georgiou told the publication. “Fadi, in general, has not been close to him lately. No one has spoken to him since what happened, and he doesn't seem to care at all. It makes me sick."

Most likely, the reason for the contention is the multi-million dollar fortune that the owner of two Grammy awards left behind. After all, George Michael has no direct heirs, and among the applicants are his godchildren, sisters Melanie and Yoda and ten-year-old daughter Jerry Halliwell Bluebell (George and the ex-soloist of the Spice Girls were close friends).
