George Michael, the founder member of Wham! died in his sleep on Christmas Day – something that has been ironic, given his song Last Christmas is played the world over during this period.
While people shared their views on Michael, the musician and the influence he had been, a few individuals shared stories that showed a part of Michael that very few of us are aware of – his generosity.
Here are some of the tweets that were shared.

George Michael worked anonymously at a homeless shelter I was volunteering at. I've never told anyone, he asked we didn't. That's who he was

A woman on 'Deal Or No Deal' told us she needed £15k for IVF treatment. George Michael secretly phoned the next day and gave her the £15k.

George Michael was also the only star on HWTBAMillionaire who, when gambling all the charity's cash, said "if I lose it, I'll just pay it".

he gave a stranger in a cafe £25k as she was crying over debt. Told the waitress to give her the cheque after he left.
