Description
George Michael: A Life of Contrasts George Michael's life was a paradox of fame and vulnerability, of public spectacle and private turmoil. From the formation of Wham! in 1981, he catapulted to international stardom, his music defining the decade. Yet, his childhood was marked by a dysfunctional family and a father's dismissive words, which he would later confront in the media. As a solo artist, Michael continued to push boundaries, navigating controversies and personal struggles with openness and honesty. His later years saw a resurgence in touring and creative output, including the critically acclaimed Symphonica, before his untimely death in 2016. This biography, updated for 2018, offers a nuanced exploration of Michael's complex story, revealing the full extent of his generosity and the layers of his enigmatic persona. Rob Jovanovic's biography provides a comprehensive and insightful look at George Michael's life, tackling the issues and glory that defined his career and enduring legacy.
