In 1991, Michael met and fell in love with Brazilian Anselmo Feleppa. Shortly after they got together, Feleppa discovered he had Aids. Michael spent the next four years nursing his boyfriend to his death.

On April 7, 1998, Rodriguez, a police officer for the City of Beverly Hills, California, was working with his partner in Will Rogers Park in Beverly Hills due to complaints of lewd acts taking place in the men's restroom.   Rodriguez entered the park's restroom after observing Michael enter.   As he exited one of the stalls, Rodriguez saw Michael fully exposed and engaging in a lewd act.

George Michael 'discharged from Vienna hospital'
George Michael has been discharged from a Vienna hospital after weeks of treatment for severe pneumonia, reports have claimed.

He later admitted: “I had my very first relationship at 27 because I really had not actually come to terms with my sexuality until I was 24.

Michael made no qualms about admitting how hiding his sexuality for so many years had taken a serious toll on his mental health.
By the age of 19, the Wham! front-man had admitted to his sisters and close friends as well as his bandmate Andrew Ridgeley that he was bisexual, but was advised not to come out to his parents.
“So firstly, understand how much I love my family and that Aids was the predominant feature of being gay in the 1980s and early 90s as far as any parent was concerned. My mother was still alive and every single day would have been a nightmare for her thinking what I might have been subjected to.

Last year he underwent three months of treatment at the Kusnacht Practice, near Zurich, which charges an eye-watering £70,000 a week.
Michael refused to discuss the reasons for his stay.
I was shocked to hear this news last night. 53 years young. After looking up articles on his previous years and the battles he has fought it saddens me that he struggled so. Although my brother was not a pop star, "he was to me" he also was gay and hid it, I see lot's of similarities. He immersed himself in his job to achieve VP of a printing company. In 1985 he was diagnosed HIV positive, (he was 25)and never told anyone, he refused to take any medicine, (not much available then, the virus that causes it was discovered in 1983) and just lived life to the fullest, cruises and a condo at the beach. 10 years went by before the rest of us knew, 3 months later he died. His death certificate read that he died of kidney failure, not hiv/aids I miss him dearly.
We both loved George Michael. RIP
Elley Mae, I'm so very sorry for the loss of your brother. I like to think that times are changing for the better. I only wish your brother and others like him could see the changes that are happening now.
