George Michael’s grave is STILL without a headstone

As the first anniversary of George Michael’s death approaches, the plot in which he is buried still has no headstone despite the singer being laid to rest nine months ago.

The Wham! singer died on Christmas Day and was found by boyfriend Fadi Fawaz, who has fled the house they shared in Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, ahead of Monday.

The space in Highgate Cemetery, North London, still lacks a formal tribute as shown in pictures printed by The Daily Star.

The news comes as Fadi escaped to the countryside for the holiday season, telling the Mirror that he can’t face the lights and festivities of the capital.

‘It makes me so sad, I just want it over and done with,’ said the 44-year-old photographer, who is convinced he’ll never fall in love again.

‘There will never be anyone ever again,’ he said. ‘That is the truth.

‘George was one of a kind, I have lost a unique man.’

He pledged never to speak about finding the 53-year-old singer’s lifeless body in bed because the pain is too much to bear.  

George’s family has asked people to tell their relations they love one another this Christmas, revealing how hard they find this time of year in a statement.

‘Christmas is not always easy, life isn’t perfect and families are complicated,’ it read.

‘So if you can, in his memory this year, take a moment and a deep breath and say those “I Love You’s” out loud.’

In the weeks leading up to the anniversary, thousands have laid tributes at the mansion where George died.

Some have expressed disappointment at the lack of an official concert or memorial to mark his passing.

Fadi – who helped George through rehab in 2015 – has sought comfort in writing poetry about the singer, who was nicknamed Yog.

He describes life without the Careless Whisper singer as ‘hell’ in one effort title One Christmas Day, which he plans to turn into a song.  

This week he was spotted leaving George’s Regents Park home, where he still lives. 

The pair met in 2009 and became romantically involved after the singer split from his partner of 13 years, Texan businessman Kenny Goss.

George’s father Jack, along with the star’s sisters Melanie and Yioda have said hearing his hits has proved a challenge since he died. 

The singer died of heart failure after a build-up of fat in his liver, a coroner confirmed. His grave is next to that of mother Lesley’s.

He was filming a documentary – Freedom – in the weeks leading up to his death.

It began as a chronicle of the singer’s legacy, but became a tribute to his life when he died, featuring stars such as Liam Gallagher, Mary J Blige and Elton John. 

Freedom was narrated by George himself, leaving ex-boyfriend Kenny, 59, unable to watch it as it reminds him he’s gone.
