George Michael’s ex gets ‘One More Try’

George Michael’s bereaved lover Fadi Fawaz is facing trial for damaging a wall belonging to a 13th Century church.

Fawaz, 45, allegedly caused £420 worth of damage to one of the walls of the St Katherine Cree Church on Leadenhall Street in the City of London on 24 February 2021.

Fawaz, of Albany Street, Camden, failed to attend Westminster Magistrates’ Court today to answer to the criminal damage charge.

His trial was set for 6 October and he will take place in absence if he fails to attend for a third time.

The hair stylist, whose past clientele includes Naomi Campbell and the Pussycat Dolls, has a history of failing to attend court.

He did not show up to court at least four times after he smashed a beauty salon window at Le Fix Natural Beauty Bar in Fitzrovia, on 21 December 2020 – four days before the fourth anniversary of the singer’s death.

A warrant was issued his arrest and he was eventually fined £800 for criminal damage on 13 March at Highbury Corner Magistrates Court.

Michael, whose real name is Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou, had left Fawaz nothing in his £96.7million will.

In February 2021, Fawaz had filmed himself ranting about his love of smoking Class A drug crystal meth on Instagram.

He will stand trial for damaging the church wall at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on October 6.

The Guild Church of St Katharine Cree is an Anglican church in the Aldgate ward of the City of London, near Leadenhall Market and was founded in 1280.
