Singer George Michael has died at the age of 53, his publicist said, according to the BBC. “It is with great sadness that we can confirm our beloved son, brother and friend George passed away peacefully at home over the Christmas period,” said Michael’s rep in a statement. “The family would ask that their privacy be respected at this difficult and emotional time. There will be no further comment at this stage.” George battled a life threatening case of pneumonia in 2011, forcing him to stay in a Vienna hospital and postpone a series of concerts.
