George Michael's partner offered his first public words after discovering the 53-year-old musician dead at his Oxfordshire home on Christmas morning. The pop icon was a multi-million selling idol of 1980s and 1990s.
43 year old Fadi Fawas said in a Tweet posted late on Monday, "It's a Xmas I will never forget finding your partner dead 7peacefully in bed first thing in the morning. I will never stop missing you xxx."
While Michael reportedly had a turbulent private life and problems with drugs, British authorities said his death was "unexplained but not suspicious". According to the BBC, his manager, Michael Lippman, said the singer had died of heart failure.
Leaving flowers, cards and candles, Michael's fans continued to pay tribute at his homes in north London and at the riverside mansion where he died.
