George Michael’s on-and-off boyfriend, Fadi Fawaz, has spoken out about the police investigation into the singer’s death to deny he is accused of any wrongdoing.

He said: “The police have been amazing. They have been supportive. They have done what normally happens when someone dies. They have not been accusing me, never; they have been very supportive.”

Mr Fawaz, who found the 53-year-old star dead in his bed at his home in Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, on Christmas morning, had initially claimed he and Michael had been together on the night he died, but later changed his story and said he had slept in his car and the singer died alone. He has not, however, said where his car was parked at the time.
