Last gifts for George

GEORGE Michael’s family is asking fans to remove flowers, photos and other tributes left outside the late singer’s two homes.

A grassy square across from Michael’s London house is bedecked in bouquets, candles, flags and handwritten messages for the singer, who died in December 2016. Similar offerings have been left outside the house in Goring, 80km from London, where Michael died.

In a post on Michael’s website, his family said they were touched by the tributes, but felt they couldn’t ask neighbours “to continue to accept as normality, the memorials so personal to you all, to remain as and where they are any longer”.
