George Michael's Aussie boyfriend completely left out of his will
It’s been two-and-a-half years since legendary singer George Michael passed away, and now details of his will have been released, revealing he left none of his $177 million fortune to his Aussie-born boyfriend, Fadi Fawaz.
Despite living in the late singer’s house since his death in December 2016, Fadi, and George’s ex-partner of 15 years, Kenny Goss, were both snubbed in the Careless Whisper crooner’s will.
Instead, George’s sisters Yioda and Melanie, and his dad, Kyriacos, were well taken care of by his estate, with his beloved dad being left a horse racing stud owned by the late star.
“George was devoted to his dad and sisters, they were always going to be looked after,” a source told The Sun.
Also included in the will as beneficiaries were seven of George’s closest friends and relatives.
Fadi, who is believed to have been dating George on-off for about seven years, found himself in the spotlight back in 2016, when he discovered the 53-year-old’s lifeless body in his bed on Christmas Day, at his home in Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire.
“We were supposed to be going for Christmas lunch. I went round there to wake him up and he was just gone, lying peacefully in bed,” the former celebrity hairdresser said in a statement at the time.
“We don’t know what happened yet. Everything had been very complicated recently, but George was looking forward to Christmas, and so was I.”
In 2018, Fadi claimed his Twitter account had been hacked when he posted claims that George had taken his own life on Christmas Eve, despite a coroner saying George died of natural causes.
He also revealed he was selling George's possessions, so he can "survive" amid the ongoing legal battle with George’s family over the late legend's fortune.
He allegedly wrote on Twitter (despite claiming he was hacked): "George Michael Items for sale if you interested please let me know. It's a way so I can survive till we solve the problems with his family and lawyer. Since I'm left with no help and since no one is human anymore.
"Am willing to sell any story as well.
"I am done with being respectful towards George Michael or the rest.
"I will fight for my right from George Michael till the last day of my life.
"And no I won't get a job.(sic)"
One of the last things posted on the account was the Tweet: “George I hate you”.
Just last week, it was reported that Fadi is squatting in the Wham! singer's $9 million home, which is close to Regent's Park in London.
"Fadi is being a real pain about all this,” A source close to the late star's family told The Sun.
"He has refused to leave despite several letters and requests in the last 18 months. He is blanking them out and it appears he now has squatters rights. It's been going on for such a long time that it's hard to know what to do next.”
