George Michael’s boyfriend Fadi Fawaz quits Twitter

George Michael’s boyfriend Fadi Fawaz has deleted his Twitter account.
The 43-year-old hairdresser has seemingly quit the microblogging site, The Sun newspaper reports.
Now when a user tries to search for the Twitter handle ‘@fadifawaz’, a message reading ‘Sorry, that page doesn’t exist!’ appears.
It comes after Fadi claimed he "doesn’t know anything" about George’s funeral.
He said: "The funeral? I can’t give you an answer, everything is being kept quiet. I can’t tell you about the funeral – it should have happened a long time ago. This has gone on and on. I was in the middle of it all. But I don’t know anything about the funeral, I really don’t know anything. Believe me. It’s all so strange."
Earlier this week, a coroner confirmed George had died from dilated cardiomyopathy with myocarditis and fatty liver.
And Fadi understands why some people had speculated the ‘Careless Whisper’ hitmaker’s death was connected to drug abuse.
He added: "Yes I know people thought that, but it’s because that’s what we do as humans – we hate each other. I know it’s quite normal, it’s natural, but it’s still upsetting. I’ve had it myself. We’re human, and in a way I understand it.
"People can die at any age – people die at three years old, five years old, it’s something we can’t control can we. This week was a relief for me, because at least I’m not doubted. And that’s incredibly important for me because can you imagine how it feels that people would doubt my love for him? It’s horrible."
And Fadi is disappointed because none of George’s family or his management team have "looked after" him.
He said: "Nobody helps me, you know. My relationship was with George. It’s sad, and it’s not right. I haven’t been looked after, but we don’t do that do we. It’s all part of life, and anything can happen, but I’m happy to take the experience.
"You take nothing with you anyway. I am that kind of guy believe it or not, it’s all ok. I am resilient because I understand how things work. I’m grateful for everything."
It is not the first time Fadi decided to quit Twitter; he had left the platform previously after being criticised by George’s fans.
