George Michael’s boyfriend, Fadi Fawaz, has denied reports that he is being prevented from attending the late singer’s funeral.

His comments follow reports that the hairdresser was being told by a family member to stay away.

But Fadi wrote on Twitter that the claim was “not true”.

He also posted a black and white image of George kissing him.

Fadi found the body of the former Wham! frontman, 53, at his home in Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, on Christmas Day last year.
