Just heard on the news less than an hour ago.

I met him in person early on in his career.

Wrote quite a few excellent songs.

RIP George

He was part of a generation of artists during their heyday of the 80's. It seems aspiring artists are reaching back to those times for inspiration in their own music today.



Rest in peace George.

To be honest I was never a fan of his music. However when he sang other songs, like at the Freddie Mercury Tribute, his singing talent was obvious. A sad loss.

RIP
