Music legend Nile Rodgers has opened up about working with George Michael in the days before his death.
The producer, writer and guitarist had been working on the former Wham! singer’s documentary George Michael: Freedom, as well as new music.
After the programme aired last night Nile took to Twitter to share a photograph he took the last time he saw the singer.
He had visited the house on 23rd December, barely 36 hours before the star’s death.
As he arrived at the house a funeral procession passed in front of his car.
He wrote: “This a photo I snapped whilst waiting to turn on the street to go to @GeorgeMichael house on Dec 23 2016. Was this some kind of omen? #tears” he wrote after watching last night’s George Michael: Freedom documentary.
Explaining his heartbreaking premonition, he wrote: “I’ve never shared this series of snaps. It’s too emotional and strange. The entire confluences of events over those two days defy explanation.”
George was found dead less than two days later on Christmas Day, aged 53.
The postmortem found he had heart disease, myocarditis, inflammation of the heart wall and a fatty liver, as well as dilated cardiomyopathy.
