Description
George Michael: A Life in Music and Tragedy The voice and style that defined pop music in the eighties and beyond will forever be remembered as one of the all-time greats of British music. George Michael's success with Wham! led to records like 'Club Tropicana' and 'Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go', making him a teen heartthrob worldwide. After Wham!'s split in 1986, George embarked on a solo career, launching classics such as 'Faith', 'Freedom', and duets like 'Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me'. Behind the success, however, he struggled with his sexuality and personal demons, including the loss of his boyfriend to AIDS in the early 1990s. His later struggles with drug use and arrests overshadowed much of his career. Despite this, George's kindness and generosity for others shone through, inspiring a new appreciation for his talent after his sudden death at 53. This biography, written by experienced author Emily Herbert, offers a close look at George Michael's career and life off-stage, standing as a tribute to the life of this talented and complex pop icon.
