("Yog" is a nickname for Michael, which comes from the pronunciation of his given name Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou.)
"This year has been a series of new and tough challenges for those of us close and loyal to Yog, not least of which was steeling ourselves this month, to hear ‘Last Christmas’ and ‘December Song’ streaming out of shops, cars, and radios, as it has done for decades, knowing he’s no longer here with us, missing him," reads the statement.
"This Christmas will be hard without him, but we know that we are not alone in our mourning the anniversary of his loss, and that the sadness of our wider family, and true friends, is shared by many of you.
"Yog, who loved Christmas, and always hoped it would snow… would want each of you that admired and loved him, (yes—he knows you did!!) to take a moment, raise a glass, enjoy his music and think of him fondly, making sure to enjoy your time with, and appreciate your family and friends."
They ended with a sad but still uplifting message about families and Christmas.
"As we all know Christmas is not always easy, life isn’t perfect, and families are complicated…
"So if you can, in his memory this year, take a moment and a deep breath and say those ‘I Love You’s’ out loud.We all think there is time, don’t we? – but, just maybe, it’s later than you think…"
