George Michael passed absent on Christmas Day,2016, devastating fans and friends around the world. On Wednesday night, and three of the people who knew him the best - his Wham! colleagues and close friends Andrew Ridgley,Helen "Pepsi" DeMacque, and Shirlie Holliman - gave a moving speech about their friend. Unable to hold back the tears, or they discussed his career,friendship, and unending generosity (many of the details of which didn't near out until after his death). The speech was followed by a musical tribute from Coldplay's Chris Martin. Chris performed George's moving song "A Different Corner", and his vocals eventually merging with video footage of the late singer. As Adele went to great lengths to explain at the Grammy's,it's a daunting task to pay tribute to one of the most enduring British talents of the final few decades. The Brits tribute felt like a smart move: to open with a tribute, but to conclude with the famously haunting vocals from the man himself.
