While George Michael was ill, there was a great uproar about Twitter posts from “Christians For A Moral America.” One of the reported posts said “Pray for George Michael’s demise. He has chosen a satanic lifestyle and must meet an appropriate end.”

After reading a little bit about this, I read that “Christians For A Moral America” was one person, and I thought such negativity was not needed at such a trying time.

George Michael has since read about it and has posted his reaction on his Twitter account.

Here is the complete George Michael news conference.  The one posted a few days ago cuts out a few things.

George Michael has posted to his Twitter account that he celebrated Christmas with family and friends:

Best Christmas I can remember, surrounded by the people I love…

And knowing that Xmas could have been very different this year for everyone at that table….

As it was we stuffed and laughed ourselves silly, I’m such a lucky man! I hope you all had a great one.

It’s not over of course, I have a house full of sleeping guests and a bunch more friends coming over today. Hangovers strictly forbidden 🙂

George, I know you will probably never see this, but I am so very, very happy that you are still here with us.  I cried as I watched this video because before November I had never thought about your dying.  I’ve been running this site for so very long, and knowing what’s going on in the George Michael world has been a part of my daily existence, not a huge part of my life, but still a daily part.  I’m so very grateful that you will continue to be a part of my life even in a small way.

Happy Christmas!  Your being alive is definitely the best news I could have had for Christmas.

According to Reuters, George Michael was released from the hospital today.

British singer George Michael was discharged from a Vienna hospital on Thursday after weeks of treatment for severe pneumonia, the Oesterreich newspaper reported.

The report on the Austrian paper’s website said the 48-year-old former Wham! frontman walked to a waiting limousine that took him to the airport. It cited unidentified hospital staff.

“He will be able to celebrate Christmas at home in London,” it said.

A spokeswoman for the Vienna General Hospital declined to comment on the report, referring questions to Michael’s public relations agency.

Michael’s publicist in London told Reuters the Oesterreich newspaper story was based on rumors.
