HAT SQUAD TVXOHOF - GEORGE MICHAEL



Michael: 
Your Uncle Gob seems to think that he saw you down at the docks today. Was that you?
George Michael: 
No. No. Maybe it was the other George Michael. 
You know, the singer-songwriter.
Michael: 
Yeah, that makes sense.
'Arrested Development'

From the BBC:

Singer George Michael has died aged 53, his publicist has said.

The star, who launched his career with Wham! in the 1980s and later continued his success as a solo performer, is said to have "passed away peacefully at home".

Thames Valley Police said South Central Ambulance Service attended a property in Goring in Oxfordshire at 13:42 GMT.

Police say they were treating the death as unexplained but there were no suspicious circumstances.



I was hoping the memorial tributes for departed members of the League of Themselves in 2016 would have ended with Zsa Zsa Gabor.  So far, I'm holding out hope that I won't need to post the induction I now have ready for Carrie Fisher.  But I never could have expected George Michael would go so soon......

Here are the greatest moments for the fictional televersion of the British pop singer:

Extras
- The Extra Special Series Finale
 (2007)
 

At a park, Andy sits on a bench and meets Bunny (Gerard Kelly), who tells Andy this is a bench to meet gay men. George Michael stops by for a short visit. When a photographer appears, Andy sends him off George Michael before giving up on the bench and leaving.


Eli Stone
- Pilot (2008) 
Lawyer Eli Stone begins to see visions, including George Michael singing in his living room, and street cars in the lobby of his office building. 




Eli Stone: 
"Stress gives you premature grays, it doesn't make legendary British pop stars sing their greatest hits live from your couch."

Eli Stone: 
What do I do if George Michael comes back?
Nathan Stone: 
Get an autograph.

- Heal the Pain (2008) 



- I Want Your Sex (2008)
Eli sues a high school at George Michael's request because the principal expelled a girl who played one of his songs at assembly.  

O'BSERVATION: 
With this episode, George Michael appeared as himself rather than as just a vision.
