Der Tod von George Michael am ersten Weihnachtstag kam für alle sehr überraschend. Mit nur 53 Jahren starb der britische Sänger an Herzversagen.

Und das hat er intensiver betrieben, als alle bisher dachten. Denn kurz nach seinem Tod wird auf Twitter sein wohl schönstes Geheimnis gelüftet: George Michael beschenkte heimlich andere Menschen. Das verraten diese Tweets.
Das sind die rührendsten Tweets:
