George Michael fans want to put a special memorial bench in the London park where he joked about picking up strangers for sex.
The ‘Careless Whisper’ hitmaker died at his home on Christmas Day (25.12.16) and while the cause of his death has yet to be revealed, fans are eager to get a special bench placed in Hampstead Heath, where he joked on the Ricky Gervais-directed sitcom ‘Extras’ about meeting men.
Organiser Tony Antoniou told the Daily Star newspaper: "He loved that park so much. It’s the least they can do. I’m sure his family will love it too."
George previously spoke about how he liked to meet men on the heath, which is a well-known meeting place among the gay community in London.
He shared: "I’ll do it on a nice summer evening. It’s a much nicer place to get some quick and honest sex than standing in a bar."
A petition to have the bench installed in the park has already been signed by more than 700 fans of the late singer.
Meanwhile, George’s cousin Andros Georgiou recently criticised the star’s ex-boyfriend Fadi Fawaz and said there is something suspicious about the circumstances surrounding his death.
Andros wrote on Facebook: "I have been trying to hold back on this tweet I saw nearly 10 days ago but the more I am reading and the more I am finding out about Fadi I just can’t keep my mouth shut any longer No 1 he was never with Yog 24 hours a day they never lived together he lived in one of Yogs houses in Regents Park ? And even if they were, WHY were they not together on Christmas Eve ? and WHY did he sleep in the car ? Too many questions have come up.
"One thing is for sure this was not an act of suicide. He should of been looked after by his so called friends ! if I was around this would never of happened and I have to live with that the rest of my life I am so very sad as I am sure you all are as well, I have to pray that the police come to the conclusion I have and justice will be served.
