George Michael was an extravagantly gifted, openhearted soul singer
whose work was both pained and smolderingly erotic. He was a
songwriter of true craft and substance, and his music swept the
world, starting in the mid-1980s. His fabricated image-that of a
hypermacho sex god-loomed large in the pop culture of his day. It
also hid-for a time-the secret he fought against revealing: Michael
was gay. Soon his obsession with fame would start to backfire. As
one of the industry's most privileged yet tortured men began to
self-destruct, the press showed little sympathy. George Michael: A
Life explores the compelling story of a superstar whose struggles,
as well as his songs, continue to touch fans all over the world.
Acclaimed music biographer James Gavin traces Michael's
metamorphosis from the shy and awkward Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou
into the swaggering, dominant half of the leading British pop duo
of the 1980s Wham!; he then details Michael's sensational solo
career and its subsequent unraveling. With deep analysis of the
creative process behind Michael's albums, tours, and music videos,
as well as interviews with hundreds of his friends and colleagues,
George Michael: A Life is a probing, definitive portrait of a pop
legend.
