2016 keeps on 'giving'. Honestly, at this rate, can't wait for this year to be over already. George Michael is one of my favorite singers ever and is only 53 y.o. I've just been re-listening to his 'Older' album after the election, the music is from the time when the world was sane. The album release coinsided with my coming out and was a soundtrack to my youth. He is irreplaceable. We have so many great female singers but there's been a desert in truly great male singers.
