Entertainment in the name of Elton John and Madonna praise Michael’s talent and humanity, while former Williams! Bandmate Andrew Ridgeley said he “lost the heartbreak of my beloved friend.”

He won a series of awards, including two Grammy and three Britons, but often covered his music in the last few years of law on drugs and a series of strange events and health panic.
Many tribute to the famous musicians died in 2016, including a large number of rock legend David Bowie in January, in April and soul singer Leonard Cohen in November.
“No, not George Michael, another music superstar left us this year, 2016 can just ridicule,” soccer presenter and former England captain Gary Rancler said on Twitter.
The police said they would conduct an autopsy, and the death as “unexplained but not questionable.”
His manager, Michael Lippman, told Billboard that the star’s cause of death was heart failure.
“I am very sad,” Lippmann quoted said, adding that he was told that Michael was found “lying in bed, lying peacefully”.
The flower was placed outside Göring’s house, and the candle was left outside of his London home – a large mansion in Highgate in the north of the capital.
Michael should release a documentary about his life in 2017. Producer and composer Naughty Boy, whose real name is Shahid Khan, is working with Michael on his new album next year.
His last album “Symphonica” (2014) ranked first in the charts.
Michael was born in 1963 in Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou, a Greek Cypriot father and an English mother in northern London.

After many years of speculation about his sexuality, Michael was sent out in 1998 as a gay man after being arrested for committing an indecent act in a public toilet in Los Angeles Park.
This is the first of several points of the law.
He was sentenced to eight weeks’ imprisonment in 2010 after beating his car into a London store under the influence of marijuana and prescription drugs.
In 2011, he spent a few weeks at a hospital in Vienna after becoming infected with pneumonia, and later said he was close to death.
In 2013, when he was driving on the freeway, he had to be airlifted to hospital because the driver was driving a Land Rover.
LIGAO, Philippines –
A powerful typhoon killed three people and threatened to bring heavy rain and wind to the heavily populated capital of the Philippines as it dragged the islands off the island on Monday, destroying the Christmas holidays.
Typhoon Nouxton landed on the eastern island of Catanduos on Sunday and is expected to move westward to the center of the country, packing winds 215 kilometers (134 miles) per hour.
A couple was reported to have died from flooding, while an elderly man pressed by a fallen wall, stormed the governor of the eastern province of Albay Al Bichara, said on local television.
More than 383,000 people have fled their homes and more than 80 domestic and international flights have been canceled because the typhoon, which was unusually late, destroyed Christmas celebrations in Christian countries, the ministry said.
The government weather station said Nock 10 was moving northwest at an average speed of 20 kilometers per hour and is expected to affect Manila and the surrounding area later in the day.
A busy metropolis of about 13 million is a regular holiday after the Christmas weather of quiet revelers living indoors when the storm approaches.
The defense ministry said the capital could suffer “intense rain, flash and severe winds” and rescue boats are ready to deploy to prevent river flooding.
“Our local disaster committee is red alert,” Mina Marasigan, a spokesman for the country’s disaster monitoring committee, said in advance of the rescue and relief (road) removal facility in Manila.
Sunday’s Coast Guard ordered beachheads south of Manila to clear holidaymakers on Monday, while residents of the capital’s waterfront slums were warned to leave their homes.
The storm cut off millions of electricity and forced government agencies to order the evacuation of the entire community in the eastern part of Bicol, the first snowstorm in the Christmas season.
In the town of Bicol, in Limoges, many streets and farms are in the depths of the ankle, and some families are still caked in the mud left by the flood.
Erna Angela Pintor, a 20-year-old masseuse, said she and her family had spent a night of fear in Christmas as the wind blew through part of the roof.
She recalls that their neighbors living near the river bank sought shelter at home because the water rose to their chests, despite the luck of her own family.
“The flood (last night) only arrived at our knees, thank you well, the current is not so strong,” she told AFP.
“It should be a celebration, but we can not celebrate, it is a sad Christmas to us, no one (in the family) died, but a lot of our neighbors’ homes were washed away.
Marasigan said hundreds of people in Bicol celebrate Christmas at the evacuation center, and many people have to do the emergency food package.
Some local officials offer roast pork – the traditional Philippine festive fare – inducing tripartite members to evacuate the center, Marasigan said.
“Government workers in the Bicol region, especially those involved in disaster relief and operations, work 24 hours a day, even on Christmas Day, because Typhoon Nina (Nock-Ten’s local name) maintains its strength and continues to pose a serious A threat to the Bicol region, “President Rodrigo Duterte’s spokesman Martin Andanar said in a statement.
About 20 typhoons or smaller storms hit the Philippines each year, routinely killing hundreds, and Bicol is often the first hit.
When the Super Typhoon Petrel struck the central Philippines in November 2013, waves like the tsunami destroyed the city of Tacloban and the surrounding area, causing 7,350 deaths or disappearances.

Photos of a doctor holding a 102-year-old woman patient in his arms and comforting her as she is given anaesthesia have gone viral on the internet.
The patient, born in 1914, fractured her bones when she fell down and was sent to the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, in Northeast China’s Heilongjiang province, on Dec 19.
Due to her age, the medical staff could not administer general anaesthesia or make her lie on her side, said Dong Yingwei, the anesthetist. Eventually, the hospital decided to give her local anaesthesia with her sitting on the operating table on Dec 23.
“The patient was feeling unsteady and was in pain,” said Dong, “So I suggested to doctor Zhao Liang to hold her firmly as a support base, because he is strong.”
Steady as a rock
The patient was feeling scared in the operation room and kept asking for her daily care worker for company, said Zhao.
As nonmedical staff members are not allowed in the operation room, Zhao said he calmed her by saying, “Don’t be afraid, just relax, I am at your side”, and “If you feel uncomfortable, let me know”.
It was the first time that Zhao held a patient for anaesthesia. “I had to keep myself absolutely steady,” Zhao said, though he admitted that he felt pain in his arms after holding her for 20 minutes.
One for the textbooks
Administering anaesthesia while the patient is sitting requires high professional skills. Even textbooks do not provide any guidance. Therefore, some young anesthetists were excited to “take photos to remember this moment and circulated them on their WeChat circle of friends”, said Zhao.
The photos instantly became popular. Some internet users said they were moved by the scenario and praised the doctor.
Gannan, China –
Huge black fertilizer stands on the cornfield, and the rancid smell from thousands of cows flows out onto the land – this is the price of a glass of milk in China today.
Large dairies flourished in the Asian giants, with nearly 1.4 billion consumers overcoming centuries of culture unwilling to accept white liquids.
Economic prosperity and government support to transform dairy into an annual $ 40 billion ($ 58 billion) industry, shifting production from small-scale producers to large-scale giant animals, as many as 10,000 animals and wasting more.
“In the summer, the smell of feces is very strong,” said Ren Xiangjun, a farmer in Gannan County.
He points out that the green water flowing beneath the gray brick wall at the mega-farm owned by the agricultural conglomerate Feihe International added, “You can see how it flows out of the farm.”
He said: “The rubbish left after the injection just left here, my land directly affected.When Feihe farm in 2012 in northern Heilongjiang province grassland hills opened, it said it has 10,000 head of cattle.
In the village of Daxing next door, a woman named Ren Ren said: “You can see the dunghill heap mountains, no good for us, only pollution and noise.
Since 2000, the average annual growth rate of the Chinese dairy industry has exceeded 12%, due to the increase in wealth and desire for the health benefits of calcium.
The ruling Communist Party incited the expansion, in 2006, Premier Wen Jiabao expressed a “dream”, the Chinese children should enjoy 0.5 kilograms of dairy products every day.
But the 2008 scandal caused a scandal of industrial chemicals melamine killed six children, more than 30 million people were affected, shocked the industry’s confidence.
The crisis was blamed on small-scale farmers using chemicals to inflate the protein content of their milk because they were busy meeting demand.
The Chinese government responded by calling for a large milk production unit.
“They believe that if we have scale farms, they are easier to regulate and check,” says David Mahon, founder of a Beijing-based investment firm specializing in dairy products.
In other countries, such as New Zealand, there are large farms, but in a single facility there are rarely more than 3,000 cows.
By 2014, China has 56 farms with 10,000 head of cattle or more, or 80 percent of the world total, creating a series of pollution problems in some provinces, state media reported.
It is estimated that only 3,500 cows can produce 100,000 tons of liquid waste and effluent per year. Chinese farms need to be processed into fertilizer, but regulations are often flouted.
“There are some places in China where winter is better because of the small hills of sewage, once it unbearable to untie it,” Mahon said.
“China is learning dairy farming, lack of experience led to such a thing.
In Gannan, residents alleged that local officials profited from the farm and did not take action against the polluters. AFP could not verify the claim, and local food officials were unable to seek advice.
But the attitude may begin to change. Yang Liguo, vice president of China’s National Dairy Association, was named in 2014 as “the bigger the scale, the bigger the environmental, pollution and biosecurity issues.”
Mahon said that in Beijing there is a “real reflection”, the Chinese government “more and more looked at 350 farms.”
Packing more animals together increases the risk of disease, such as brucellosis, which can spread to humans and cause arthritis.
Eagle employees Wang Dali once in Gannan’s farm to destroy the bullpen, infected with brucellosis in 2012, making him unable to work, and now his joints are almost constant pain.
He blamed his infection on poor sanitation.
“Cows crowded together very close together,” he said, estimating that each has about 12 square meters. “There is no way to treat manure, we dug a big hole near the facility … now it piles up like a mountain.”
Fei Xiao denied the allegations of residents, a woman in the Gannan office to answer the phone said: “These things are impossible.
From a tractor to remove Dali’s dunghill, a farmer said: “pollution has not been clean, of course, have an impact.”
“We do not eat it ourselves, we sell them to the market,” he added.
BEIJING:
According to a newspaper report, a young man from western China was forced to undergo more surgeries at the time of the circumcision, with the end of treatment costing eight times as much as he originally agreed.
Chengdu Business Daily said that this person did not give the full name, is earlier this month in Chengdu, a hospital for surgery, the doctor said he needs more surgery.
“I was lying in bed and I was not willing to accept the extra surgery, but the doctor insisted,” The patient, 20 years old.
The man said he had no medical knowledge and questioned whether he needed more treatment, so agreed.
“The doctor said it was really serious and it could affect fertility, which was the middle of my surgery, and I had to agree,” he quoted.
The patient was told that his circumcision would cost $ 680 (S $ 142) on December 16, but after he agreed to other surgery and treatment, the final cost was $ 5,500.
A spokesman for the Second Hospital of Sichuan Province says doctors do a lot of surgery every day and do not remember the details.

HEBEI –
Beijing in northern China Beijing in the north of Beijing, said it will absorb lessons from the haze in the region last week to strengthen clean air efforts.
Last year, Hebei is one of China’s 10 most haze cities, has announced that 2017 will be “transformation and upgrading”, the province announced on Saturday the official website (http://www.hebei.gov.cn).
China has repeatedly vowed to curb air, soil and water pollution caused by economic growth for more than 30 years. Beijing often ranks high on the list of the most polluted cities in China.
The average concentration of small, breathable particles, known as PM2.5, in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, lasted more than 500 μg / m3 for three consecutive days, 50 times higher than the World Health Organization’s recommendation.
In the first official response to last week’s smoke explosion, governor Zhang Qingwei said that Hebei would strive to improve the “scientific level of accuracy” in pollution control.
Hebei has been at the forefront of China’s “pollution war” for nearly three years, but experts say law enforcement is still slow due to worries about the impact of smoke control on economic growth and employment.
Eight cities in Hebei province last week issued a “red alert,” a record haze for some of the county’s monitoring stations, but it quickly came under intense scrutiny from the environmental ministry, some of which failed to halt operations .
Zhang said in a commentary on Monday that Hebei needed better “top-level planning” when it sought to adjust its industrial and energy structure.
Hebei province will also develop more detailed plans to deal with the main sources of smoke such as direct burning of coal, the provincial government said on its official website (http://www.hebei.gov.cn).
The province aims to cut PM2.5 concentrations by an average of 67 micrograms per cubic meter, up from 77 micrograms in 2015, officials warned, and recent eruptions could make China’s pollution targets difficult to achieve.
