Tribute to George Michael by street artist

Street artist Pegasus has paid tribute to George Michael with a mural of the Wham! singer, who died on Sunday aged 53.

The artwork near a graffiti park in Shoreditch, in east London, features three images of the Faith singer clutching a jacket next to the words Never gonna dance again, a lyric from Michael’s single Careless Whisper.

People stopped on Thursday to take photographs of the painting, which took four hours to complete.

“So many people stopped as I was painting it. It got a great reaction,” Pegasus, who said he had been inspired by Michael, told the Evening Standard newspaper.
