“He was so loved and I hope he knew it because the sadness today is beyond words. Devastating.”
The former The Voice UK coach continued: “What a beautiful voice he had and his music will live on as a testament to his talent.
“I can’t believe he is gone. I hope the Buddha will hold him in his arms. NMRK.”
The two icons of the 1980s were rumored to have feuded over the years, but seemingly reconciled.
Both performed on the 1984 version of Do They Know It’s Christmas, raising money to help the famine in Ethiopia with Band Aid.
Pet Shop Boys also paid tribute to the late music legend.
Along with a picture with George, they wrote: “Dear George, gone too soon. It’s so sad. Heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. Love, Neil and Chris x #PetText.”
