George Michael was a global icon and stellar performer whose countless albums became best-selling hits around the globe.
But despite him being so notoriously private about his personal life, experts claim that it wasn’t until after his tragic demise in 2016 that many found out about his true generosity.
George Michael passed away on Christmas Day five years back and since then, the world has come to know so much about his acts of kindness, thanks to all those that he helped.
This month only, the late superstar was given the title of the mysterious benefactor that lit up the London borough during the festive season.
Yes, he was the mysterious donor behind one of London’s most impressive festive light displays. His entire estate always made donations that would ensure the city stayed shining bright as ever so people could enjoy it.
But that’s just the start of his many great deeds as many recall his great acts of warmth and kind-heartedness on his fifth anniversary.
After his passing away, it was also revealed how the George Michael donation drive also funded the famous Highgate Christmas tree that is another startling attractive feature for many during the festive season.
Similarly, George Michael also adored working for the needy or underprivileged members of society. But so few people knew about that as he liked to work undercover for all those homeless shelters.
Right after his death, George’s close friends and colleagues at a homeless shelter came ahead to state how the superstar would even work shifts with them to assist.
They also shared how George would visit the shelter on a frequent basis but at the same time, he requested them to keep all of his deeds and work a secret from the public.
But it doesn’t end there. George also paid off countless debts of complete strangers such as one student nurse who just couldn’t pay her university fees and when he found out, he made sure her expenses were funded and taken care of. In the same way, he also paid for a woman’s IVF treatment.
While he may be gone from this world, many still recall George Michael as a humble man with a pure heart and soul.
