George Michael's £100m fortune 'will go to his Godchildren'

The Godchildren of George Michael are expected to inherit large sums from the singer's will following his shock death from heart failure on Christmas Day.

The megastar was a Godparent to a number of his celebrity friends' children, who are now thought to have been left a share of his estimated £100million estate.

Michael, 53, was Godfather to Roman and Harley Moon Kemp, the children of his Wham! bandmate Shirlie Holliman and Spandau Ballet bassist Martin Kemp, who yesterday told of his devastation at the death of his friend.

Michael is also expected to leave money to Geri Horner's daughter Bluebell, who was the Goddaughter of his ex-boyfriend Kenny Goss, the Daily Mirror reported.

The star was a long-term supporter of a number of charities - including Childline, the Terrence Higgins Trust and Macmillan Cancer Support - who could also be bequeathed large sums.

Michael introduced Wham! bandmate Shirlie Holliman to Kemp and the couple married in 1988.

Kemp posted on Twitter yesterday: 'My whole family and I are devastated at the loss of our beautiful friend Yog! We will miss him so much! We are all heartbroken!'

His son Roman also paid tribute to Michael, adding: 'The man who toured the world with my mum; her best friend.

'The man who introduced my parents; who forced my mum to call my dad. The man that took me and Harley around the world; just to see us smile. The man we all love. We love you Yog.'

Michael's boyfriend Fadi Fawaz found the star dead in his bed at his home in Goring on Sunday. Mr Fawaz said he would 'never forget' the terrible moment, adding: 'I will never stop missing you'.

The star had lived as a virtual recluse in recent months, following years of ill-health and battles with crack cocaine addiction.

The source told The Daily Telegraph: 'He's been rushed to A&E on several occasions. He used heroin. I think it’s amazing he’s lasted as long as he has.'

A 69-year-old neighbour, who asked to remain anonymous, said Michael was notably absent from the midnight mass Christmas Eve service at St Thomas of Canterbury church, the parish church opposite his home.

A neighbour at his home in north London, Sasha Gretsay, said he looked 'tired' and 'haggard' when she saw him in a restaurant earlier this year.
