George Michael's cousin says he received a message from him through the car radio

In a remarkable account, Chris Antoniou, cousin of the late pop icon George Michael, has shared his experience of receiving messages from George's spirit via his car radio. The 60-year-old reported that while driving to Sainsbury's, his radio went static, and he distinctly heard George calling his name. This eerie encounter was followed by another instance later that day, where he claims George's voice said, "I'm free." Chris reflected on George's lifelong ambition for fame, recalling how the pop star often expressed his desire to be famous during family gatherings, particularly at Greek weddings. He reminisced about the moment he learned of George's rise to stardom, stating, "One day my dad just said to me 'George is on Top of the Pops.'" Despite the rapid success, Chris noted that George struggled with the pressures that accompanied his fame. The retired civil servant expressed his shock over George's untimely passing but found solace in the idea that his cousin had reached out to him. "When he said 'I'm free,' I understood what he meant," Chris remarked, suggesting a sense of liberation for George in the afterlife. He emphasized their close bond, acknowledging that while George was often busy, he frequently felt isolated due to the demands of his celebrity status. Chris's experiences highlight the enduring connection he feels with his late cousin, even beyond death.
