OMG! I cannot believe this. so young. my wife and I were just talking about it and both felt that it was probably a complication from AIDS. what a shame. RIP!

Hector, that was my first reaction as well. Regardless, an incredible voice and talent! RIP to another in 2016! Let's just forfeit 2016 as fast as we can!

My intention is not to jump to concussions...but pneumonia almost took his life in 2011...and finally took his life today. He never admitted it, but seems like a classic example of dying of complications from AIDS. I say that, because two very close dear friends of mine had contracted AIDS...and both died of pneumonia a few years later...the one infliction that takes away the life of most AIDS patients.

Very sad...

[Hector]

Great artist...and an underrated singer...he would've made a much better frontman for Queen than the current Adam Lambert.

What an eerie video...here he was, in 2011, giving his first public interview after nearly dying of pneumonia, the same infliction that took his life today...ironically both events during the Christmas holiday...

RIP...

One of my favorite tracks from Listen Without Prejudice is 'Heal The Pain' My brother Tom told me one day "listen to this George Michael track and tell me it doesn't sound like it should be a McCartney track. I probably wold have never listened to this album it wasn't for my brother's insistence that I should listen to this track. Great track and great album:

Another talented singer passes away at the young age of 53:

As much as he was a true "Pop" star he could sing an there is no denying that at all. They say he passed away peacefully. No foul play or drugs are suspected in his passing. This year started tragic with Bowie and is ending almost as tragic with the likes of George Michael. RIP.
