The Shocking Truth
According to popular belief, George Michael died of heart disease. Little do his fans know, the true killer of George Michael was not the disease on its own, it was one of his own creations… the beloved holiday song: “Last Christmas.” In order to guarantee the fidelity of our information, we have contacted George Michael from beyond the grave. When we asked about the song and how it relates to his demise, he sang this to us to the tune of the song itself: "Oh yeah, I had a dream that I would die of heart disease on Christmas – it was just a premonition I had, and I felt compelled to put it into song – I never expected it to become such a smashing hit."
