George Michael's former lover has claimed the singer committed suicide on Christmas Eve following four previous attempts to take his own life.
Fadi Fawaz said the Wham! pop star, 53, took his own in 2016 and lay dead for 24 hours before he was found.
Writing in a series of emails, Fawaz said: 'It took five attempts... I'm sick and tired of people asking me what happened on Christmas Day.'
Fadi said that the death on Christmas Eve coincided with George's beloved late mother's birthday.
The emails, seen by The Sun, continued: 'Let me tell you, George died on his mother's birthday, so that might answer a few questions.
'Not to mention it took five attempts to manage to end his life. I think it's important for the story.'
