Tributes left at George Michael’s homes on first anniversary of his death
He died aged 53 on Christmas Day 2016.
George Michael has been remembered by fans as they flocked to the music superstar’s former residences on the first anniversary of his death.
Dozens of flowers, photographs, lyrics and personal notes were placed opposite the former Wham! singer’s home in The Grove, Highgate, London.
One message simply read: “I love you George Michael”, while another quoted his lyrics from hit track Last Christmas.
One sign said “thank you George” while another told him “You have been loved”.
They urged fans to, in memory of the star, “take a moment and a deep breath and say those ‘I Love You’s’ out loud”.
Fans also remembered the singer on social media on Christmas Day.
One tweeted: “one year today. we miss you more everyday george, love you. #GeorgeMichael”
Alongside a few photographs of the star, another fan wrote: “Merry Christmas everyone. Today I will be giving special thoughts to the wonderful, beautiful and most talented George Michael. Miss and love you George”.
Last Christmas missed out being named the Christmas number one last week, but reached third place on the UK singles chart after a social media campaign rallied to get the song to the top spot in his honour.
