GEORGE Michael’s grief-stricken boyfriend yesterday paid an emotional tribute to the late singer on the first anniversar­y of his death.

As fans left flowers and messages outside the house where George, 53, died, Fadi Fawaz, 44, posted a photo on Instagram melding half of his face with half of George’s.

In the post, titled “It is what it is”, Fadi’s side of the face weeps a teardrop of blood, while a poem on George’s half, reads: “I will always miss you until the day I meet you. In your sleep I find you, Into your dreams I follow you.”

Fadi, who has reportedly had a fallout with some members of George’s family and been criticised for his behaviour since the singer’s death, goes on: “My story remains untold, your love they don’t know. My love stays home, blame and I alone.”

It ends: “All I need you to know, you were not alone. It’s you I adore.” Fadi found George dead in bed at home in Fans at house yesterday Goring-on-thames, Oxfordshir­e. An inquest found the former Wham! star died of natural causes as a result of dilated cardiomyop­athy with myocarditi­s and fatty liver.

Photograph­er Fadi vowed he would never love again as the first anniversar­y of George’s death approached. Fadi, who is spending Christmas with friends in the country, told the Sunday Mirror: “I can’t stand all the Christmas trees or lights around London. It makes me so sad, I just want it over and done with.” George’s family, including sisters Melanie and Yioda and dad Jack, also told how Christmas “will be hard without him”.

They added: “We know that we are not alone in our mourning the anniversar­y.” Fans who made the Christmas Day pilgrimage to George’s home left gifts of flowers, teddy bears and balloons along with messages to the late star, whose hit Last Christmas reached No3 in the singles charts.
