George Michael reveals that he split from longtime partner Kenny Goss more than two years ago, due at least partly to Goss’s struggle with alcohol addiction, according to Access Hollywood.

“Kenny and I haven’t been together for two and a half years,” Michael announced to the audience during the opening night of his Symphonica tour. “It’s time to be honest.”

Michael had previously denied reports the two had split as recently as March. “My love life has has been a lot more turbulent than I’ve let on,” he said Monday. “This man has brought me a lot of joy and a lot of pain.” The 48-year-old singer then dedicated a new song titled “Where I Hope You Are” to Goss.
