Singer George Michael had $98 million when he died at age 53 on Christmas Day in 2016. Last month, it was reported that his estate was finally being divided, and that his boyfriend, Fadi Fawaz, wasn’t getting a single penny from his massive fortune. Now, it appears he’s gone berserk.
Fawaz, who met Michael in 2011, has been squatting in the singer’s $5 million house in London since his untimely death two and a half years ago, refusing to vacate the property despite repeated requests from the family. Now, he’s reportedly smashed the entire place to pieces.
Neighbors called police earlier this week when they heard crashing noises from inside the house then spotted Fawaz standing half naked on the roof as water gushed out of the front door.
Fawaz was arrested on suspicion of aggravated criminal damage after allegedly trashing the home.

“The damage inside the house is really bad,” one neighbor said. “Every fixture and fitting, every door and window, everything George left in there–it’s all completely destroyed.”
“Even the toilets and sinks have been smashed. There’s major damage to the walls and even the ceilings. This can’t have happened in just one night, he must have been systematically smashing the place up for a long time.”
A police spokesperson confirmed Fawaz had been arrested and that the damage to the property was “extensive.”
“Police were called on Tuesday, 23 July at around 7pm to a report of a man seen on the roof of an address,” the spokesperson said. “Officers attended and the man was no longer on the roof but inside the address, which had extensive damage.”
“I don’t know if he’s on something but he’s lost his head,” the neighbor said. “It’s such a shame because George loved that place and it used to be so beautiful.”
Earlier this month, Fawaz posted a bizarre video on Facebook showing his shadow flicking off the camera through a broken window on the property along with the caption: “What a nice day.”

I love that the neighbor says they don’t know if he’s on something or what. No, the guy is obviously upset. His famous boyfriend dies and he’s nowhere in the will and George Michael’s family is throwing him out. I don’t know what George Michael’s original intentions were with this guy. If he was just a boyfriend. If he ever thought about adding him to his Will and just never did because he didn’t think he’d die that soon. Who knows. But the boyfriends not in the Will and that’s all the law sees. However, this boyfriend was offered $650,000 to vacate the home. That’s more than enough for most people. He had it too good in that million dollar estate. Going to a smaller home would be like going to a shack in his eyes. He now seems greedy instead of taking the offer. Now he’ll get nothing.

I think George just never got around to changing the will since no one thinks they’re going to suddenly die at 53. They were together for 5 years. It wasn’t just a fling. Yeah, 650,000 is allot of $ but were talking about 98 million. The family could’ve just given him the house and still be mega rich.
Brian
I think George intentionally excluded him from the will. His drug problems were extensive enough that it had to cross his mind at some point that something could happen.

I find it interesting that Fawaz said that he slept in his car the night George passed. I mean it was a few blocks away. Also according to Fawaz George attempted suicide 5 times before. Then you add in the drugs.
Young Timer
Actually, the boyfriend IS getting something.
J-A-I-L.
Depending on how good looking he still is, he may be getting a little something else, too, but it has nothing to do with money.

@Young Timer ….because prison rape is HILARIOUS!!!
May karma find you to suffer the same fate. LOLZ!

We’ve heard this story many times before.

This is absurd. Fawaz was obviously not adored by George Michael and was not included in the late singer’s will. The law is the bottom line in this matter. For one reason or another, it was not part of George’s will regardless of what his intentions may have been, which are pure speculation on anyone’s part. I feel bad for the boyfriend, Fawaz, but these are elements he should have discussed with George while he was alive. Of course, the family isn’t going to want to see Fawaz get all the money, so by offering him a $650,000 deal should have been enough for the boyfriend. Further, if you really love someone in the capacity that Fawaz supposedly did, why would you want to desecrate his home? I have no sympathy for Fawaz because it seems he cares more about George Michael’s estate and monetary collection rather than about the loss of an amazing love. He should have taken the $650,000 and moved forward with his life without trashing property that did not belong to him. If I were an investigator, this would be enough for me to be suspicious enough to investigate Fawaz, who reportedly found the late signer’s body, to see if maybe he added Michael’s in taking the last of the drugs, which ended his life. When it looks and smells like a fish, then it’s probably a FISH. I hope they make Fawaz pay for the damage to the mansion or go to jail for the damage he has done. It’s just the way the legal system works when a loved one dies without a will.
ShiningSex
No it’s not obvious. What is obvious is George loved him or he wouldn’t have been with him for that period. He probably didn’t expect to die that early on before changing an existing will.
Brian
George didn’t die of an overdose. His toxicology report was clean. Drug use very well may have contributed to the organ damage that did kill him.
Vince
They say fatty liver disease but dying of it suddenly in your sleep? Come on. Some were saying he died of a GHB overdose which leaves no trace because it’s naturally occurring in your body.
Brian
Something was going on with his heart too. Drug use takes a toll on the body, it’s not uncommon for people with abuse histories to die of natural causes relatively young.
As for GHB, that is pure speculation, I’ll trust the official cause. Just like I trust that the will reflects what he actually wanted done with his estate instead of thinking he really wanted to include the bf but never got around to it in 5 years.
boymikefl
If you have $100 million in the bank and a real “boyfriend,” a Will is 1st priority. I have peanuts but, still have a Will. Money is valuable.

Clearly George did not expect to die so young, but a 5 year relationship is not very long– nor do we know the extent of it– to give millions away to over family. It would be different if they were married. Celebs need to learn from the many recent cases: have a will and keep it up-to-date!
white-queer-african
History repeats itself again! And again! And again! How sad. A gay couple with no will or final wishes? Famous or not. No, we do not discuss death because we are going to live forever. Or we will find a new man tomorrow. We do not plan for the ultimate. Sadly, in the majority with gay male couples, the older one’s that is. Researched and proven.
Brian
George had a will. The boyfriend just wasn’t left anything in it.
Toofie
Had they been married, he would’ve gotten something more.
Cam
A 5 year relationship and nothing? Either Micheal just forgot to update his will or he didn’t like the guy. Seems like he could have thrown him a few hundred thousand if he liked his boyfriend after that many years.
ShiningSex
I agree. If he stayed with him for that long, then why not leave him SOMETHING.
ShiningSex
I don’t blame him. You’re with someone for a long time and get left out. How ridiculous of George. If he didn’t want him to have anything, then break up with him because he obviously didn’t mean that much to you.
Gianni Versace’s man, Antonio had Dontella take away WHAT WAS LEFT TO HIM BY GIANNI. The Versace family contested his will that left Antonio with his house and some money, but Muppet Donatella fight it and won. Shameful on that ugly bitch.
Brian
His money, his choice. We have no idea what the actual nature of their relationship was, so stop projecting. Not all couples are together because they’re madly in love. Some don’t even like each other but stay together.
dhm
People forget that his boyfriend worked in the porn industry and was looking for ‚financial stability‘….. money FROM George allowed him to open up a hair salon in London…..
George had issues with drug usage and his BF took advantage of this and ensured that George would relapse. Afterwards , looking like a concerned partner by aiding him.
He was and remains nothing more than a gold-digger.
People who know George knew this ….. he had been shunned from George’s circle of friends and acquaintances after his death ( and ONLY tolerated during George’s life because George was a friend of theirs)
He was and is crying crocodile tears. His demise is now unfolding.
Brian
Seeing how he’s acted since George died, I can’t imagine that this guy didn’t make a serious attempt to get George to change his will when he was alive. You don’t go from not caring about money to squatting in a house for years, then trashing what was your home with your dead lover. George knew what he was doing.
CanisMajoris
When you’re offered a rock to defend yourself with..take it and move on. The rich or the very rich do not worry about the poor. What they do worry about is where they are going on vacation. Will it be Rome or Paris or a private island. Whos yacht to be seen on and how many pics to post. What the guy did to George’s home is inexcusable at best, but i kinda understand why he did it… ;>)

Goodonya, George Michael. Fake Fade Fawaz is an ex-porn looser mooch anyway.
Hdtex
He says the same about you….sad
BustnMyNut
First of all this loser was not his Boyfriend and he is probably responsible for his death. He was a freeloader piece of sh^t. Everyone told George to get away from him but he didn’t. Everything out of his mouth is a lie. George was feeling like sh^t about himself for the years that LOSER was around and LOSER knew it and took advantage of him. He only had one real partner Kenny Goss who tried to help him and stick it out but finally gave up after years of trying to get him clean.
George loved GHB and I am sure he overdosed him, like he had many times before except this time he gave him too much and he died. Unfortunately, they can’t trace GHB in your blood like other drugs so they have to assume he just overdosed on other drugs. George was a very good man that loved getting high and partying. In addition, he wasn’t pretentious at all and would give his left nut if you needed it. RIP George.
Felecia
It’s really not all that complicated; either marry the boyfriend, or at least include him in the will. If not, then George told us EXACTLY what he truly thought of this guy…something along the lines of ‘good riddance’, maybe..???

“Neighbors called police earlier this week when they heard crashing noises from inside the house then spotted Fawaz standing half naked on the roof as water gushed out of the front door”
Half naked? Or standing without a shirt on? One sounds more salacious than the other.

Change the locks. If that doesn’t work, hire security, charge with trespassing, etc.
