Hey I was thinking about Adam and new year, is this the first time that Adam is not having a gig for new year's eve? Pretty sure he didn't have one in 2010, after the GNT finished up. He kind of disappeared for a couple of months about then.

This is a great article about George. Two paragraphs almost sound like he is describing Adam. www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/dec/26/george-michael-defiant-gay-icon-sex-life-lgbt-rights?CMP=twt_guBeing gay and out is one thing, but often it is on the terms of a disapproving society. As long as you are sanitised and, preferably, sexless in appearance, you can gain acceptance – or so the unspoken pact goes
Quotes by George! “You only have to turn on the television to see the whole of British society being comforted by gay men who are so clearly gay and so obviously sexually unthreatening,”
“Gay people in the media are doing what makes straight people comfortable, and automatically my response to that is to say I’m a dirty filthy fucker and if you can’t deal with it, you can’t deal with it.” Or as he put it rather enthusiastically on Twitter: “I have never and will never apologise for my sex life! Gay sex is natural, gay sex is good! Not everybody does it, but … ha ha!”
PattiHum...I understand what you are saying here. Adam has stated that there is diversity in the Gay community, as there is in the straight community, and they should support each other not tear each other down. Adam is not the image of the generic/stereotypical/sanitized gay that a lot of the mainstream society will accept. But he is a vibrant, sexy, and amazingly talented artist that is not afraid to express himself. As Adam has stated "sexy is sexy' and it shouldn't matter your sexual preface. And Adam, like George Michael, does not apologize for who he is, but 'celebrates the diversity' in the human community.

Thanks for the article, Pattihum....Prince, Bowie, GM, all artists that led to our Adam...and so interesting and relevant to read and learn about their struggles. Many of those struggles that Adam is or has also experienced. And, IMO, without those struggles there would be no progress.
So much to admire about those artists and the impact that they had on us.
I'm incredibly sad about George Michael. I didn't really know that much about him, but he had the most gorgeous voice, and know a few of his songs from when he was with Wham. I've been spending the morning looking at videos while drinking my coffee.
I'm so ready to be done with 2016, it was a crappy year in so many ways, but especially losing so, so many celebrities.

It's so hypocritical of some members of the press.First they build you up ,then they knock you down and then they glorify you when you die..
If George Michaels is looking down on all this glorification from some of the same press that tried to destroy him.. I wonder what he is thinking...
RIP George you lived your life fully with meaning and with great courage.. You will always be loved

Besides having a really good voice, I thought George Michael made some really interesting and good videos.

George was a great songwriter and a very handsome guy, but he fought his demons for a long time, I hope he was at peace with himself at the end.
