George Michael And Kenny Goss 'Split'

March 7, 2011

George Michael and Kenny Goss have split after 15 years together, it’s been reported.

Goss, a Texan businessman, is said to have walked out on the former Wham! star over his ongoing problems with drug addiction.

A source told The Sun: "The writing has been on the wall for some time. There are only so many second chances Kenny was prepared to give.

"He's been loyal to George from day one, but that hasn't always been reciprocated."

The unconfirmed report comes on the same day that Michael admitted that he was seeking help overcoming his personal problems.

He also told BBC Radio 2 that he deserved to be sent to prison after crashing his car into a photography shop while under the influence of drugs.
