A never-released George Michael song has been leaked by his partner Fadi Fawaz.

Just days after his death, George Michael’s partner Fadi Fawaz has shared a never-released, “lost” song by the late singer.

It is believed the the song, titled This Kind of Lovewas recorded in the early ’90s and was set to be part of an unreleased album called Trojan Horse.

The track was said to have been produced with Elton John. It was not released due to legal red tape, The Mirror reports.

Fawaz tweeted a link to the song alongside the heartfelt words “My Baby”.

The song includes the lyrics, “This empty house seems to get colder and colder. So won’t you stay here with me?”

But not everybody was happy about the leak. Some social media followers criticised the Australian hairdresser and photographer, who had been with 53-year-old Michael for seven years.

A user named “lisa b” said, tweeted, “I disagree really. George obviously never wanted us to hear it. (Sorry just my opinion) x”.
