George Michael was well known for being an iconic musician, both in Wham! and as a solo star, but in the hours since his death was reported, several fans have been taking to social media to share stories of George's generosity and philanthropy, revealing that he donated millions of pounds to numerous charities and causes over his lifetime.

t's also emerged (via ITV News) that over his lifetime George has made several donations to charities including Childline, the Terrence Higgins Trust and Macmillan Cancer Support, including giving all the royalties from his 1996 single 'Jesus to a Child' to Childline, and the royalties from his 1991 duet with Elton John to the Terrence Higgins Trust.
