George Michael, who gave music-lovers “Careless Whisper,” is no more, but his smash hit lives on. The hitherto unrevealed generosity of this great artist came to light only after his death.
A leading UK newspaper wrote about the difference between Michael and US-President-elect Donald Trump. The former was a secret philanthropist who donated millions to charity, but this only came to light after his death. The latter boasted of the little he did, tweeting: “I gave millions of dollars to DJT Foundation raised or received millions more. All of which is given to charity, and media won’t report.”
Michael secretly donated millions of pounds to individuals in need and to organizations. It has now emerged that he worked at a homeless shelter but chose to remain anonymous, asking others who worked there not to disclose his good deeds. Lots of his generous gestures have come to light through many of his beneficiaries. His philanthropic acts and his “Careless Whisper” will never be forgotten by those who knew and loved this gentleman artist.
‘Careless Whisper’ lives on
