George Michael says Madonna made a pass at him

George Michael has told GQ that Madonna made a pass at him when he was 23, and that his partner Kenny Goss helped him through depression after his mother's death.

Time for some Monday morning gossip? Well, George Michael has told GQ that he nearly slept with Madonna after the Material Girl made a pass at him.

He told the magazine: "I was only 23 and was really intimidated because I felt that she was coming onto me. I thought she was really sexy. I had a feeling it would be sex of the same intensity as if I was with a man."

Michael has been seeing partner Kenny Goss for eight years but says he would have sex with a woman if he wasn't already in a relationship: "When I walk into a restaurant, I check out the women before the men, they're more glamorous."

He also said that he became so depressed after his mother died that he thought about committing suicide. The singer has said only his relationship with boyfriend Kenny Goss kept him going. George's mum Lesley Panayiotu died of cancer in 1997. He said that if Kenny had not been around "my life would have been in danger. After mum's death I couldn't write. I felt worthless."
