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

As fans left flowers and cards 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.

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.

“My story remains untold, your love they don’t know. My love stays home, blame and I alone. All I need you to know, you were not alone. It’s you I adore.”

Fadi, who has reportedly fallen out with some members of George’s family, has been criticised for his behaviour since he found the singer dead in bed at home in 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, who is spending Christmas with friends in the country, vowed he’d never love again as the first anniversar­y of George’s death approached.

He said: “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 said Christmas will be hard without him but added: “We know that we are not alone.”
