George Michael
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 ho
me".

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

Police say there were no suspicious circumstances.

Michael, who was born Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou in north London, sold more
than 100m albums throughout a career spanning almost four decades.

Earlier this month it was announced that producer and songwriter Naughty Boy w
as working with Michael on a new album.

In a statement, the star's publicist said: "It is with great sadness that we c
an confirm our beloved son, brother and friend George passed away peacefully a
t home over the Christmas period.

"The family would ask that their privacy be respected at this difficult and em
otional time. There will be no further comment at this stage."

In 2011, Michael postponed a series of concerts after being taken to hospital
for treatment for pneumonia.

After treatment in a Vienna hospital, he made a tearful appearance outside his
 London home and said it had been "touch and go" whether he lived.

Doctors were said to have performed a tracheotomy to keep his airways open and
 he was unconscious for some of his spell in hospital.
