'He became a recluse because he couldn't bear people to see him': 'Perfectionist' George Michael hated the way he looked after gaining weight

George Michael saw nobody. Adored, it appears, by the entire world, he had turned out to be truly isolated in the course of recent years.

He was most recently seen on Christmas Eve, viewing a torchlight parade from his windows as it achieved the congregation which is alongside his home in pleasant Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire.

One of his couple of normal guests was his adolescence closest companion, the artist and musician David Austin. He would likewise occasionally observe his sisters, Melanie and Yioda. Just those nearest to him were allowed to enter George Michael's private screen.

On Christmas Eve, George didn't go to midnight mass at the neighborhood church, in spite of the fact that he had been in earlier years. George's beau, Australian big name hairdresser Fadi Fawaz, had been found in the town before that day.

On Christmas Day, George was discovered dead in bed in his staggering riverside home. So why did he conceal far from the world?

Mostly it was on the grounds that George Michael hated to be viewed as something besides the thin, consummately coiffed pop star he was in his childhood.


'George was an aggregate stickler, dependably, however he had completely lost certainty,' says one source near his administration. Indeed, even photographs discharged for his last collection, Symphonica, in 2014 were old. Matured 53, he could be 'appallingly hesitant's about what he looked like and about his weight pick up.

He additionally fussed about the extremely noticeable scars on his head and neck, brought on when he dropped out of an auto on the M1 in 2013 in what may have been a suicide offer while high on medications.

How he would have loathed the alleged 'last photos' of himself looking corpulent and moderately aged. They were gone up against a night out at an eatery close to his home in September with previous beau Kenny Goss and different companions.

He and craftsmanship merchant Kenny, who had a sentiment enduring over 10 years, were said to think in regards to reviving their relationship when he passed on.

Unfortunately, however, George was in the grasp of a long depressive emergency, and Kenny, 58, wasn't with him toward the end. And additionally his companion David Austin, it's idea he likewise observed a picture taker buddy called Caroline, and his own partner.

Whether this emergency was created by his medication reliance, or fuelled by it, is an open question. However, relatives since a long time ago trusted that his addictions would assert his life somehow.

Cousin and close buddy Andros Georgiou shouted yesterday: 'My greatest dread has worked out.'

Georgiou, comprehended to have been repelled from the star after Georgiou's significant other Jackie a year ago uncovered the family's anguish about his dependence on rocks, alcohol and cannabis, included: 'I lost a faithful comrade. I can't accept what has happened. He was an exceptionally uncommon individual to everybody he met.'

He went on: 'It would be ideal if you somebody let me know this is not valid, Yog can't be gone.' (Yog is the epithet the Wham! star's family utilizes, from his Greek first name, Georgios.)

One companion let me know: 'George truly was a feline with nine lives. I thought he was a goner a few circumstances. You can't go ahead as rashly as he did with medications and all whatever remains of it and escape with it constantly.'

Another saw George not long ago and said: 'He appeared to be okay, not totally well, but rather good.'

I'm told George rashly gave away his Range Rover auto to another companion a couple of months prior. George had a checkered vocation as a driver, and even served a four-week jail sentence in 2010 for smashing while affected by medications.

His marketing expert, Cindi Berger, demands he was 'not sick' at the season of his passing on Christmas Day, and chief Michael Lippman said in an announcement that 'heart disappointment' was the reason.

He obviously had medical issues. There was an unexplained crumple in 2014 which had prompted to crisis treatment at his home in London, trailed by a stay in clinic.

Relatives said he went ahead to put in a year in a £190,000-a-month center in Zurich endeavoring to beat genuine medication addictions including a desire for rocks and gem meth.

Jackie Georgiou said at the time: 'It's split, it's pot, it's drink, it's coke . . . I'm petrified he will kick the bucket.' She included: 'He's not the same. The start has gone. He is not himself after his medication utilize.'

He moved to Oxfordshire after his release from the facility a year ago.

It is definitely noteworthy that he exited his London home, in Highgate, where Kate Moss was a neighbor, and medicates and easygoing sex on close-by Hampstead Heath were an ever-show allurement. (He let one know questioner that his day by day routine included getting up, smoking a spliff of pot, and going onto the Heath to get an accomplice.) The question, which will in the long run be dictated by an investigation, is whether he did, in fact, desert his addictions — or whether they guaranteed his life.

Surely, neighborhood Goring occupants discovered him antisocial and horrendously timid. His London companions had whined that he close himself away and saw no one — and in the field things were the same.

Malcolm Allport, 80, said: 'He had a maid who used to come up, however the house was quiet down a ton of the time. We knew he was remaining here for Christmas, there were conveyances some time recently, however no different autos. We thought he was most likely spending it independent from anyone else.'

The administrator of the Catherine Wheel bar in the town said: 'We have not seen him for some time. I last observed him about a month prior in The Miller Of Mansfield [another nearby pub]. I think he was with his chief and they were having a dinner.
