I have great news!
Yours Only George is going to remain open! As I wrote previously, I was contemplating closing the site because my web hosting fee had doubled and advertising revenue wasn’t even covering the old fee. Fortunately, I was able to find a new web host with a much lower annual fee. Yeah! I still hope you continue to support our advertisers so that I may keep the site open indefinitely. YOU make a difference.
As I said before, it’s more difficult to update the site as there just isn’t as much news. I also have had a number of unsubscriptions to the mailing list lately. I am trying my best to post only the most important stuff here, but I do understand that some people aren’t as interested in George Michael news now that dear George has left us.
I do regularly post links on our Facebook and Twitter pages, so make sure to follow those to get all the news.
Thanks for allowing me to run Yours Only George for the last 20 years!

Love u mel xx
🙂 Thank you!
Thank you Melanie for keeping ‘ Yours Only George’ going. We have been left with a big void, and have not been able to move on.
Any news we have is greatly appreciated and will be shared amongst our community. Many thanks.

Thank you for telling me that! I’ve been disheartened by all the unsubscribes on the mailing list, but you’ve just reconfirmed that there are still loyal fans who want to keep informed!
Hey Melanie,
I’ve read your post for a few years now, I own my own server, I could host your website for free, no string attached, no sharing revenue, I’m paying it anyway, just let me know if you’re interested. It’s kinda paying it forward.
That is so nice of you! I signed up for an annual hosting plan and they moved the site for free, so I guess I will just keep the site there for the time being. I really appreciate your offer!
Thank you for your dedication towards this website. I had listened to George from 18yrs old now I am 48yrs old. I am a great fan of George Michael and miss him a lot. He music will stay with us forever thankfully.
🙂 Thank you!
Hi there. How are you?
I am nearly CERTAIN you can have help paying the hosting fees from George’s loyal fans. Not sure that is allowed, but it was my first thought. We’d hate to have the site disappear when WE would gladly keep it alive (I would, anyway).
Thank you so very much for continuing to keep his memory alive. Any news is welcomed. Doesn’t even have to be news, just any word about him at all.
Be blessed, Melanie.
All my heart,
Thank you so much! I will keep that in mind if I run into problems. I have two kids so I’m just trying to make sure I’m not taking money away from their education. I had been with my old web host for 15 years when they doubled the price. Fortunately, I found this new web host, and I think I will be able to cover the costs from advertising revenue.
I will try to keep posting news. 🙂
I totally agree with everyone’s thoughts above. Anything about our dear George is so appreciated. We can just converse about him! Thank you 😊 Melanie for your dedication. I wouldn’t want to live in a world 🌎 without anything about him. At times, his passing doesn’t even seem real. I have been listening and loving him, since I saw he and Andrew on a local music 🎶/dance show here in Los Angeles. It was 1982 and hosted by Richard Blade. Miss him so very much.😥
Thank you! 🙂 It helps to hear such positive thoughts!
