George Michael's ex Kenny Goss dubs the singer the 'love of his life'

We were all left devastated when it was announced that singer George Michael had passed away on Christmas Day last year, with his partner Fadi Fawaz finding the music icon dead in his bed.

Now the star’s former partner, Kenny Goss, has broken his silence on the tragedy, dubbing George the love of his life.

The American art dealer dated George for 13 years from 1996 to 2009, and he has also now shared further insight into the singer’s staggering generosity, which was unveiled after his death.

Speaking to Dallas Morning News, Kenny shared: “We just had a really good, sweet relationship.

“We weren’t even mad at each other or anything like that.

“He was truly the love of my life. And I think I was the love of his life.

“He just wrote huge cheques, enormous ones. He gave away tens of millions of pounds to charity.”

Kenny, who found out about George’s death through the star’s sister, refused to comment on George’s partner of four years, Fadi – who has faced public scrutiny since George’s death.

It was initially believed that George had died from heart failure but it is now thought that the singer passed away following an overdose of either illegal or prescription drugs.

An initial post-mortem came back as inconclusive and a major crime unit from Thames Valley Police have been brought in to try and piece together the days leading up to the star’s death, even though it is still being treated as non-suspicious.
