On April, 20, 1992, George Michael was part of a star-studded lineup that included Elton John, David Bowie and Metallica at The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert for AIDS Awareness at London’s Wembley Stadium.
And then, upon finally finding romantic love, “along came a fatal disease to destroy everything,” author James Gavin writes in his upcoming biography of the singer, “In 1992, Michael had not come out to his family and hadn’t told his closest friends about his boyfriend’s diagnosis because Feleppa didn’t want anyone to know about his terminal illness.
Feleppa then managed to worm his way into a party where he knew Michael would be, and they finally met. A few days later Feleppa underwent a blood transfusion which triggered a brain hemorrhage, killing him at the age of 36. Years later, Michael looked back at their relationship and called his late boyfriend, “the most beautiful, kindhearted, angelic person I’ve ever met, which is sometimes hard for my partners since his death because you can’t rival a ghost.”He penned an emotional four-page letter which did not surprise his mother, who showered him with unconditional love and affection, but his father did not take it so well.The “Everything She Wants” singer had long struggled with his sexuality.
“I think George’s father was a homophobic bastard who caused George a lot of pain,” Sullivan told Gavin. “He found happiness in music and in Ridgeley’s acceptance of him. But I think George was miserable his whole life. He was confused and scared — scared of rumors, scared of a lot of things.
I think we can figure tht out for ourselves......he contracted it...one way or another. 🙄
