George Michael -- the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter who died last Christmas at 53 -- was honored posthumously in Los Angeles on Saturday night (Aug. 19) for his decades of humanitarian work with Project Angel Food, the L.A. non-profit that delivers meals to people who are critically ill.
The occasion was Project Angel Food's 27th annual Angel Awards, during which Michael won the Elizabeth Taylor Leadership Award, named for the actress who was a longtime PAF benefactor and among the earliest activists for HIV/AIDS fundraising.
Adam Lambert, who performed a three-song tribute to the former Wham! frontman, was one of several stars of music, television and Broadway who helped raise funds for the charity while remembering Michael's contributions to music and his quiet philanthropy.
"George Michael was a God-gifted voice from the heavens," Lambert said. "And he raised half a million dollars for this organization."
Michael was in fact Project Angel Food's single largest individual benefactor, giving $25,000 annually since 1993 -- donations that began with Michael leaving an unsolicited check at Project Angel Food's front door after learning the organization had then fallen on hard times.
