George Michael’s family may have to wait until March to bury the pop legend – three months after he was found dead.
Police have warned that it could be “several weeks” before his body is released by the coroner.
They are still awaiting the results of toxicology tests on his organs to work out what caused his death.
Sources close to the superstars family said that the wait is putting an “intolerable” strain on them.

Family friend Demetri Louca told The Daily Mirror, “George’s body is still with the coroner in Oxfordshire. His family are finding the wait intolerable.
“His body will be there until they have found the cause of death and apparently it is very nearly finished now. They are planning the funeral with the high priest and will announce the date in time.”
Fadi Fawaz, George’s lover, has been banned from the funeral by the late singer’s family.

Speaking to The Sun, George’s cousin Andros Georgiou said, “Fadi has not been invited to the funeral. He is not welcome, the family hate him. Heaven help him if he turned up.
“Fadi was not really his boyfriend. No one has spoken to him and he just seems to be getting on with his life. It makes my stomach turn.”
This comes after reports that George “tried to end things” with Fadi before his death.
