I am saddened and will be praying for him.
Is this the wrong time to to bring up the fact that his boyfriend Fadi is amazingly Scrumptious?

Dont the Brits have free healthcare? So really anyone could get one of those Million Dollar beds? Meanwhile back here in the Land O' Plenty we are stuck on those shitty Air mattress beds and are paying through the nose for even those. :-\\

He's in a hospital in Vienna, not the UK. I'm not sure what the health care situation is in Austria, but I'm sure George Michael can probably afford it. In fact, he's bound to have some sort of travel/health insurance that covers him against sickness or injury while on tour.
I Wish him well hes a good ,honest , talented , funny, slut off a bloke , generous as well.
I really do hope this is just bog-standard "community acquired" pneumonia and not PCP pneumonia. But come on, we all know the stigma that surrounds this shit may very well cause major denial in people in the public eye like GM.
Anyone who remembers GM's refusal to test up until at least 2007 can be/should be forgiven for wondring.
I hope its not PCP too but, come on, how many healthy 47 year olds end up in critical care from "community aquired" pneumonia? I can't think of any. Maybe a 77 or 87 year old, sure then I would say that makes sense. Unfortionately PCP makes much more sense in this instance.
Sounds like he's on the mend, which is good. He'll be back to Hampstead Heath in no time.
I was not aware he refused to test. I'm wondering how that happens with investors backing tours and concerts. Usually, they require a physical that includes an HIV test. That's how Magic learned his status--well, through an insurance policy. And, I've been reading about magician, Daniel Bauer, who found out the same way---the investors backing his show sent him for a complete work up.
Below is an interview George did at the end of August before going on tour. Ok, we know that you can't look at someone and tell whether they have HIV/AIDS--except for when you can. Unless he has been starving himself, he just looks like something ain't right. I remember seeing him on Oprah a couple of years ago and thinking he had lost so much weight in his face.

From 2004 Today Show Interview, you see a much healthier looking George below:

hehehehe.... I didn't catch (get) this on the first reading. Touche! ;D
For the non-British residents or citizens amongst us, Hampstead Heath is a famous cruising ground/park in London that GM has been known to frequent (by his own admission).
Shoot me if I'm wrong (and I'm sure someone will if I am) but I'm pretty sure that it's illegal in the UK to use something like that to force a person to test for hiv.
Maybe he's poz but is not wanting to admit it because someone from Hampstead Heath might come forward and say GM tricked without disclosing. That would be a hassle.
Good point. Of course it seems people do this HIV speculation any time any gay man gets seriously ill. I was the subject of the same rumors when I was HIV- and dropped from 160 lbs to 130. Then when you are HIV+ and sick people wonder if you are medication compliant. I like George Michael's music and hope he recovers soon, HIV or no.
Don't you just hate all of the speculation of any gay man as having teh AIDS,
It's particularly annoying when it crops up in the Am I Infected forum. A lot of them in that forum also think that transgender=poz.
A 10 cent lap dance in Phuket can be rather risky, you know.

As far as Georgie goes it's all about the 12" mix of "Everything She Wants" -- and his hair in the video, well what can you say about that? You know when they filmed "Careless Whisper" they had to do it twice because George didn't like how his hair looked the first time. Such a fussy queen, and that's when she was still a closet case even though fire crackers were coming out of her ass.
But after HAART became available, suddenly celebrities "stopped" having HIV. It's almost like it doesn't exist anymore in the entertainment world, even though we lost quite a few great artists to it before.
I see nothing wrong with his looks in 2011. He has just aged graciously like most of us. When was the the last time you had a look in the mirror or perhaps old pictures dating back to 2004 ? ::)Yes, I went to his latest concert (didn't care for it much) and agree that he looked "ok", so I be interested in what looked "wrong" with him, Ted?
OMG!
I'm not going to ask the obvious question.
Hope he gets well soon.

Is he better?
Apparently he is better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqODegwsJRo
I was at a party in the Hudson Valley tonight and noboby knew about this. Is this story off the radar in the usa?
Nobody knew 2 Broke Girls or The New Girl either.
He's a delightful and charming man. I wish him all the best.
Get fucked.
The man is a shit of colossal proportions.
