On Instagram, Sir Elton John posted a photograph of himself with Michael, writing: <https://www.instagram.com/p/BOdVz_XFmD-/?taken-by=eltonjohn&hl=en> "I am in deep shock. I have lost a beloved friend - the kindest, most generous soul and a brilliant artist. My heart goes out to his family and all of his fans."
