I think that is from a dinner with Elton John, Sep 2016. Possibly Elton disclosed he was going to tell the world how enjoyable sex with George was and it was going to prove more embarrassing than getting exposed as a Los Angeles Tea Room Queen, making George commit suicide. Larry Craig is both an elected senator and a tea room queen but explained he would rather die than admit he had sex with Elton John.

I saw those last pics. Looks to me like he struggled with his weight, like lots of us in our 40s and 50s +.
He doesn't look ill to me, just heavy.
But, who knows, maybe he had an illness that caused swelling and bloating.

Why is everyone acting so shocked at this "sudden" death. This guy engaged in high risk behaviours and had close near fatal encounters multiple times. He was being treated for substance abuse, some say herion. If it was a heart issue, which you can't tell conclusively until an autopsy has been confirmed, then it would be linked to the consumption of illicit drugs.
The other thing, he may have been HIV positive, he had pneumonia in 2011 from which he recovered. He was well known for multiple high risk sexual encounters which puts him in a precarious position.
Sad yes, shocked no.

I would've loved being a 10 year old (at the time) and taping down her boobs for Star Wars filming.
She was a busty lass and Lucas didn't want her seen in that manner.
RIP Carrie

Too bad, I was hoping Carrie Fisher would survive the heart attack. RIP.
Don't be so hard on people who are surprised, or everyone who's supposedly 'shocked', by the death of George Michael, aussie. Seems a lot of people were taken by surprise when Carrie Fisher had a heart attack last week too.
Just because they both had a history of being very troubled, promiscuous, talented people with serious addictions.......doesn't mean they were destined to die so relatively young (Keith Richards is still doing it like he needs the money, FCS).
Anyway, neither of them had been in trouble publicly in a long time, each was blatantly honest about his and her issues in recent years, and both had gone through intensive rehabs in attempt to manage their disease.
So, I think people, in general, hoped for them both to succeed and stay around longer -- just like people hope when it comes to the not-famous addicts in their worlds.

I'm still trying to come to terms with the loss of ALF. RIP.
But, we didn't lose quite so many as your pic depicts, Zero.
Lemmy died in 2015, a year ago tomorrow.

Bullshit. Lucas wanted her in that gold bikini that showed off her busty busom.
RIP Leia. May the Force Be With You.

If you were in a public mens room and George Michael was in the next stall you may be saying something different. Not sure if you would be smiling though.

I'd be smiling as I cut off his cock and balls and sold his bloody dong to the highest bidder.

George Michael preferred free non-committal sex with strangers in public spaces known to be frequented by like-inclined men VS. picking up men in gay bars or paying hookers. And, police used to love to make money stinging gay cruisers like that. He was never in any way accused of non-consensual sex or messing with kids or anything like that.
The western world was generally much more homophobic 20 or even 10 years ago. Now.....there are apps for arranging such liaisons.....which would still probably be less discreet for a famous person.
To me, it's similar to Paul Reubens (PeeWee Herman) getting busted for whacking it while watching sleazy porn at a dive LA adult cinema. Cool? Nah. But, no big whoop for anyone other than a famous person, especially one who had a kiddie show. If it had been anyone else, no one would have cared. Put that thing away, pay the fine, and go home. Now, people mostly do that shit in the safety of their own homes watching Porn Hub.

HoTD, I am reading (unconfirmed) reports that he was struggling with a heroin addiction for the last year and that recently he was hosting hedonistic all night parties at his home. I think his proclivities to "CHOOSE LIFE" were in truth killing him. Drugs that make a person feel alive by bringing on euphoria may mislead you into thinking WOW, Choose Life?....I really feel alive now.
