George Michael paid tribute to his late first boyfriend in his final interview for Freedom documentary
GEORGE Michael opened up about the death of his first boyfriend, Anselmo Feleppa, in his last ever interview.
The iconic singer spoke about Anselmo and revealed his heartache at the Brazilian's death during an interview for Channel 4 documentary, Freedom.
Freedom will focus on five years of Michael's life in the 90s and was filmed before his death on Christmas Day 2016.
George met Anselmo, who was a dress designer, in a hotel lobby but he tragically died of an "Aids-related illness" in 1993.
It's believed the documentary will air around the same time as the re-release of George's album Listen Without Prejudice on October 20.
An insider who has seen the documentary told that George becomes very emotional while speaking about his late boyfriend.
They said: “George speaks very movingly about Anselmo being the first love of his life and how important he was in his life.
“It is very emotional and he clearly never forgot him and left a huge impression on George.”
George, who was 27 when he met Anselmo, previously revealed he knew shortly after they met that he was terminally ill.
Speaking on Desert Island Discs in 2007, he said: "It was a very strange first love. It was very distorted by the situation. This was the first love of my entire life.
“It was tragic that I lost him, but it was a wonderful experience meeting him. There have only been three times I’ve really fallen for anyone.
“And each time, on first sight, something has clicked that told me I was going to know that person. It happened with Anselmo across a lobby.”
The Wham! singer penned his No 1 single, Jesus To A Child as a tribute to Anselmo.
George's former partner Kenny Goss and last boyfriend Fadi Fawaz are not mentioned in the documentary as it focuses on his life in the 90s,
