George Michael s former lover flushed drugs down toilet

London May 7 (IANS) Late global singing sensation George Michael s former lover Kenny Goss says he would flush the singer s drugs down the toilet in the hope that he would beat his addiction.

The 58-year-old dated the Careless whisper hitmaker between 1996 and 2011 and tried to stop the singer from taking drug substances by getting rid of them reports mirror.co.uk.

I would find drugs and flush everything down the toilet thinking If I just get rid of it he won t get more . He was absent-minded so would just think he d lost them Goss told The Sun newspaper.

I don t think George necessarily thought he d die young but every time I looked into his eyes I thought My God I m losing you what is going on . That was a gateway drug to the others. But it escalated. At one point he was smoking 25 joints a day. I saw him smoke weed all the time but never hardcore drugs he added.

Goss says that Michael always shielded him and his family and did the drugs with another group of friends.

I heavily disapproved so he wouldn t be around me in that state. He had another group of friends he d do that with... When I confronted him he never denied it never apologised. He was hard on me about drinking because I developed a problem he added.
