George Michael's physical (and mental) health seems to have declined over the last few years. His dishevelled and withering appearance may relate to his drugs-filled life style. It's a common knowledge that he is a stoner and perhaps a cokehead, not sure if he takes other things as well. Anyhow, HIV rate in MSM is very high, so the possibility of Aids for him can't be ruled out. HIV report for 2010 says that "A total of 6,630 individuals (4,400 men and 2,230 women) were diagnosed with HIV in the UK in 2009, a crude rate of 0.11 per 1,000 population (0.14 new diagnoses per 1,000 men and 0.07 per 1,000 women). After adjusting for missing information, an estimated 54% (3,560) of individuals diagnosed in 2009 acquired their infection heterosexually (1,420 men and 2,140 women) and 42% (2,760) through sex between men". So, its not just gay people getting AIDS. The report also provides a graph where the estimated number of number of adults (aged 15 to 59 years) living with HIV (both diagnosed and undiagnosed) in the UK in 2009 indicates the rate being the highest for MSM; diagnosed and undiagnosed.
Report includes, "A recent study, estimating trends in prevalence of HIV infection, (diagnosed and undiagnosed), among dults aged 15-44 years in England and Wales, showed that there was no evidence of a decline in the prevalence of undiagnosed infection between 2001 and 2008."

I think GM is a top artist. So handsome with it as well. I was heart-broken when I first learnt that he was gay. I never took his poster off my wall, though. I hope he recovers well from his pneumonia.
