I did not know George Michael's sister had died. Whenever I see Highgate Cemetery, although it is occupied with so many famous people, George Michael always comes to mind first. If you have not done so already, I would recommend viewing his "25 Live" concert which I could watch everyday and never get tired of it. Be well.

It's sadly ironic that George died on Christmas Day. Last Christmas is one of my favourite Wham songs (nobody will ever sing it as he did). In fact, I was listening to that about an hour before I heard of his death. Such a shock. It's shame his sister, Melanie died 3 years to the day he did. They were very close. If you haven't read Andrew Ridgeley's memoir (Wham! George Michael and me)yet, I highly recommend it.

An interesting fact. When The London Necropolis Company was building Brookwood Cemetery they also built the London Necropolis Railway. Which was built to carry the dead from London to Brookwood. The lines in the Cemetery closed in 1941 and you can still see the platform in the cemetery and I think the old station house as well.
