Michael struggled with substance abuse. He was arrested for drug-related offences in 2006, 2008 and 2010. In May 2013, Michael sustained a head injury when he fell from his moving car on the M1 motorway, near St. Albans in Hertfordshire, and was airlifted to the hospital.

In the early hours of Christmas Day 2016, Michael died in bed at his home in Goring on the Thames, at the age of 53. He was found by his partner, Fadi Fawaz.
Michael’s will left most of his £97 million estate to his sister, his father and friends. It did not include bequests to either Fawaz or to his former partner, Kenny Goss. In 2021, following legal proceedings, the trustees of Michael’s estate entered into a financial settlement with Goss.
