Along with the rest of his fans, I wanted to pay respects to the family of George Michael after his way-too-soon passing. One interesting thing that has happened since his death? Stories of how generous he was have emerged, painting a picture of a very philanthropic man. Here are six mentions on Twitter that are particularly touching:

George Michael was also the only star on HWTBAMillionaire who, when gambling all the charity’s cash, said “if I lose it, I’ll just pay it”.

A woman on ‘Deal Or No Deal’ told us she needed £15k for IVF treatment. George Michael secretly phoned the next day and gave her the £15k.

I wrote in a piece ages ago about a celeb I’d worked with tipping a barmaid £5k because she was a student nurse in debt. Was George Michael.
