Did he commit suicide?
He was my biggest male idol as a child.
shareI'm not sure one can say that dilated cardiomyopathy is suicide, but his lifestyle may have contributed to it.
I was just listening to Listen Without Prejudice the other day thinking that it's a shame that he's gone because his voice was one of the best.
Listen Without Prejudice is actually the only studio album of him I dont have. I have only one Wham! album.
shareNo. But he had self-destructive habits. He had unprotected sex with strangers. Any gay male who did that before around 2014 was guaranteeing to catch HIV (that was before PrEP came along as a solution to this problem). Plus drugs.
shareSome people call a lifestyle like his "slow suicide". If he got tired of waiting for the end and took matters into his own hands he wouldn't have been the first, but if that were the case I don't think his family would make that public.
It's none of our business after all.
Self destructive behavior. Homosexuals are 7 times more likely to have a drinking/drug problem. It's the guilt they carry.
shareI would not blame that on being gay, but he did have a very self destructive mentality. I saw the interview where he got an attitude with a reporter who questioned his desire to cruise for sex. Gay or hetero ,you are asking for trouble.

the article you cited says it’s because your kind faces discrimination, nothing to feel guilty about
