George Michael's quaint English country home, where he was found dead on Christmas day, was once featured on the Oprah Winfrey's show. See where the singer spent his final moments alive.
In 2004, Michael gave Winfrey the grand tour of his Oxfordshire cottage, saying: "We're here, about an hour from London. This is a 16th century house that I bought about three years ago and did up myself."
As RadarOnline.com readers know, the 53-year-old was found dead inside the residence on December 25 of this year.

The next day, the celebrity hairstylist went to meet the star. "We were supposed to be going for Christmas lunch," he said. "I went round there to wake him up and he was just gone, lying peacefully in bed."
