Singer George Michael of Wham! and solo fame dies at 53

Superstar ‘80s musician George Michael died Sunday at the age of 53, according to his publicist.

The singer of such songs as “Careless Whisper” and “Last Christmas,” the BBC reported, had died over Christmas weekend at his home at Goring in the English county of Oxfordshire.

“It is with great sadness that we can confirm our beloved son, brother and friend George passed away peacefully at home over the Christmas period. The family would ask that their privacy be respected at this difficult and emotional time. There will be no further comment at this stage,” publicist Connie Filippello said in a statement issued to multiple news outlets.

There was no immediate word on the cause of death, though Mr. Michael had a history of health problems, including a 2011 bout with pneumonia that put him in a coma and resulted in a tracheotomy.

'Legacy': 10 Ways Barack Obama Broke the American System

Much ink has been spilled, and much bandwidth spent, on describing Donald Trump’s 2016 victory as a populist revolt. Less attention has been paid to what voters were rebelling against.

There were economic grievances — in the Upper Midwest in particular — but the economy as a whole is slowly recovering. (As Alexis de Tocqueville observed, revolutions tend to occurin times of rising expectations.)

But at its core, the revolution of 2016 was an attempt at restoration — at fixing a broken system.

What broke it? Both parties acquiesced in bank liberalization, open-borders immigration, and Wall Street bailouts.

But the most acute challenge was Barack Obama’s direct attack on the constitutional framework itself. Obama sought to transform America, and believed that the ends would justify the means.

Republicans, hypnotized by race and cowed by the media, put up little fight. So voters took matters into their own hands.
