Mariah Carey has joined the long list of celebrities who have taken to social media to remember late British singer George Michael. "George Michael you were such an inspiration," Carey, 46, tweeted Monday, including broken heart and sad face emojis. "I'm honored to have not only been your fan, but a friend as well. May you rest in peace." Along with the sweet message, Carey included a photo showing herself and Michael with a group of friends.
Michael died of heart failure and was found in his home on Christmas Day, his rep told People and Entertainment Weekly. He was 53. Michael's publicist confirmed that the iconic singer passed away "peacefully".
In 2014, Carey recorded a cover of Michael's 1987 hit "One More Try", much to the delight of the star. "Thank you for recording One More Try. Such an honour to have one of the best voices in the world singing my song," Michael tweeted at the time. Ever the fan, Carey gushed in a response tweet, "I'm so honored you like my rendition of One More Try. You and this song have always meant so much to me. Fan and friend for life."
Little has yet been made public about the circumstances surrounding Michael's death, but investigators have said there were no suspicious circumstances, according to the BBC. During his nearly 40 years of fame, Michael sold 100 million albums. He has won several awards, including two Grammys out of eight total nominations.
