		</div><p>The singer George Michael has been laid to rest during a private ceremony with his family and close friends.<br />
In a statement released on Wednesday, his family thanked fans from across the world for their messages of love and support.</p>
<p>The former Wham! star died in December last year at the age of 53.<br />
His body was found by his former partner, hairdresser Fadi Fawaz at his home in Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, on Christmas Day.<br />
Fawaz has faced a wave of criticism since Michael&#8217;s death, including rumours that he had been banned from attending his former lover&#8217;s funeral.</p>
<p>He recently denied the reports.<br />
Special tributes have been made to the Careless Whisper singer throughout this year&#8217;s awards season.</p>
<p>His former bandmate Andrew Ridgeley made an emotional speech at the Brits in February, describing Michael as a &#8220;supernova&#8221;, saying his death &#8220;felt like the sky had fallen in&#8221;.<br />
On the night Fawaz tweeted: &#8220;Anyone (who) doubted my love to George will be apologising very soon. It&#8217;s a fact.&#8221;<br />
The private funeral for the Faith singer was held on Wednesday, his publicist said.</p>
<p>The statement shared by his family read: &#8220;We can confirm that the funeral of the singer George Michael took place today.<br />
&#8220;Family and close friends gathered for the small, private ceremony to say goodbye to their beloved Son, Brother and Friend.<br />
&#8220;George Michael&#8217;s family would like to thank his fans across the world for their many messages of love and support.&#8221;<br />
The news encouraged a fresh outpouring of tributes over social media, with one fan tweeting: &#8220;@GeorgeMichael beautiful. I&#8217;m still not sure how to live in a world without him.The most beautiful human. I owe him everything.&#8221;<br />
It followed a heartfelt message posted by fan Toby Bourke, reading: &#8220;His legacy will be the millions of hearts across the globe who have at some stage filled with joy at the sound of his voice&#8230;That&#8217;s some legacy to leave.&#8221;</p>
