George Michael's sister, Melanie Panayiotou, has died exactly three years after the singer's death, CNN confirms.
"We can confirm that very tragically Melanie has passed away suddenly. We would simply ask that the family's privacy be respected at this very sad time," the family's lawyer, John Reid, said in a statement on Friday.
"We are, as usual, staying as positive as possible, which is what we and Yog would wish for you all, and we are all hoping for a peaceful 2020. (Wow 2020! – when you grew up with Yog, that used to seem so far away but, here we are folks – It’s the future)!!!" the statement continued.
"Keep on doing those good deeds in his memory, ‘paying it forward’ if you can. ‘Take Care’ he says from up there in the stars, with mum, Anselmo, and his beloved doggies."
RIP
