There sure is a lot of age redundancy in the article, e.g, "Michael, 53, was found dead at his home in London on Christmas Day at the age of 53", "Heartbroken at the loss of my beloved friend Yog,” Ridgeley, 53, tweeted" and "Born, Andrew John Ridgeley, 53, is an English singer, songwriter and record producer."
