Remove tributes plea to fans

-

George Michael’s family have asked fans to remove their tributes from outside the late singer’s former homes for the sake of his neighbours.

Fans of the Wham! star have left tributes at his homes in Highgate, London and Goringon-Thames, Oxfordshir­e, creating memorial areas filled with flowers, messages and candles among other items after his death in 2016.

Michael’s sisters Mel and Yioda, his father Jack and friend David Austin wrote on the music star’s official website that they have been “touched by your many tributes celebratin­g and rememberin­g Yog, reminding us how very much he is missed and loved”.

“However, we feel we cannot expect our Highgate and Goring neighbours to continue to accept as normality, the memorials so personal to you all.”
