This site is a beautiful tribute to George Michael! I stumbled upon it today, and I’m just amazed at what you’ve done here!
I was a teen in the 80s. I was there for the British invasion, and then Wham! hit America, and shortly thereafter came George Michael as a solo artist. While I enjoyed his music then, it wasn’t until last year that I really fell in love with him, but also really became enamoured with his music, life and beautiful heart.
Not a day goes by now that I do not think of him or listen to his music. After learning who he really was, first by listening and FEELING him through his music, and then by reading everything I could about him and watching every interview and story, I not only began to understand just how amazing he was, but as I said, I began to fall in love with him.
To some, that may sound odd coming from a man, but he was truly an angel on this earth like so many others who have come and gone, and it breaks my heart that he’s no longer here with us. I hurt for all that he’s been through, all that he endured, all that he lost, and all the ways he was misunderstood.
I feel kindred as a fellow lover, a champion for truth, and fighter for justice. I know the feeling of love burning hot, loss making one cold, and always being misunderstood. His voice, words, and sweet disposition are truly not of this world.
How lucky we are to have witnessed his presence on this earth! How fortunate are we to learn so much about love, truth, and honesty from him. I’m so grateful to George Michael for helping me through the most difficult time of my life last year, and still to this very day. His music carries me. His words lift me. His heart has saved me. I’m alive now because of him.
Welcome to the site, Michael! It has become increasingly difficult to find the site, so I’m very excited you found it!
What you have written is beautiful, and I believe there are many of us out there who have been affected by George’s music in similar ways. When George died, James Corden talked about what George Michael meant to him, and I thought of this when I read your post: “George was…I feel like I’ve loved George Michael as long as I’ve kind of loved music, in a way, and I know so many of his fans feel the same,” Corden said. “Like sometimes, I can remember so many specific times in my life where I might have felt on my own, and George’s music would feel like he just…it would feel like you would listen to a song and he would reach his hand out and tell you that you weren’t on your own and that these feelings were not particular to you.” https://www.eonline.com/news/819438/james-corden-thanks-george-michael-for-inspiring-carpool-karaoke

Hi Rebecca. Nobby’s Hobbies Holdings is one of George’s businesses and was started July 28, 1987. I hope that answers your question!
