“Within hours of discovering his body, posts appeared on his Twitter account, and then within 12 hours he sold his story.

“Does this sound like a grieving partner?”

It was reported that cops are to interview Fadi over fears the star’s death was drug-related. There is no suggestion he has done anything wrong.

And since George Michael's death, pals close to Fadi said they are worried about him.

One told the Daily Star: "It seems like Fadi is really struggling to cope. His death has obviously hit him very hard.

"At the moment we are all worried about him. We hope he knows he can come to us for help."

Fadi, who had been with George since 2009, claimed he spent all weekend at the star’s home in Goring-on-Thames, Oxon.

But he now says they spent the night before George died apart, insisting: “I fell asleep in my car and I never saw him that night.”

A tweet from Fadi’s account read: “The only thing George wanted is to DIE. He tried to kill himself many times...”

Another added: “And finally he managed.”

The account was then deleted.

Fadi said: “My account has been hacked and closed. I did not send the tweets.”

Asked about reports George was on heroin, Fadi replied: “No way.”

Police are treating George’s death as “unexplained”. A post-mortem proved inconclusive.

Following his death, fans made a New Year’s Day pilgrimage to George’s home to add their tributes to the growing sea of flowers.

One mourner also tied a rainbow flag to one of the wing mirrors in memory of George’s support for gay rights.

One note read: “He was a great talent, person and community member.”

Another fan wrote: “Rest in peace. You are a beautiful soul who shone a bright light in this world.”

Since George Michael's passing it has been claimed that Kenny Goss, the star's ex, made a desperate bid to save the singer’s life in the weeks leading up to his death.

The pair dated for 13 years before they broke up, but the pair became friends again.

A friend close to the pair told The Mirror that the Texan art dealer became increasingly worried about the singer and flew back to the UK to be with him.

They revealed: “The last few months had been chaotic and troubling for George. He had become increasingly isolated and depressed.”

The source also claimed that Kenny “knew George was smoking and drinking heavily” and that the singer was “depressed about his weight”.

They added that Kenny had got in touch with his team and, while they had tried to sort something, “it became increasingly clear in was a losing battle”.

“He knew things weren’t right with George and he also came over to say goodbye.”
