Singer George Michael passed away on 25 December 2016 at the age of 53 from heart failure. The former Wham! frontman had written a will in 2013, leaving his £97 million ($136m) estate to his older sisters Panayiota (known as Yioda) and Melanie Panayiotou, his father Jack, and some friends. However, Michael did not leave anything to his boyfriend at the time Fadi Fawaz, who found Michael's body, or former partner Kenny Goss (pictured left), who dated Michael between 1996 and 2011.
Goss claimed that he was "wholly maintained" by Michael even though they had broken up years before Michael's death. Goss filed a lawsuit under the UK's Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975, claiming $15,000 (£10.7k) per month. At the time Michael's family are said to have vowed that Goss wouldn't "get a penny". However, just over four years later Michael’s trustees have agreed a settlement with Goss, which will see him receive a share of Michael's estate. The financial details have not been revealed.
