George is the story of two extraordinary lives - the private man
and the public legend. Georgios Panayiotou was just eighteen when
he decided to adopt the stage name of George Michael. Sometimes his
two worlds would collide with shattering consequences. Bestselling
biographer Sean Smith has gone back to the neighbourhoods of North
London to trace the astonishing journey of a sensitive but
determined boy who grew up to be one of the biggest British pop
stars of all time. Along the way, he talks to those close to
George, revealing the real man - funny, articulate, intelligent and
generous spirited - who hid behind the powerful image he created.
He reveals the complex relationship with his high-achieving
Greek-Cypriot father; the unconditional love of his mother; his
teenage relationships with girls; and his first tragic love affair
with another man. George's career began falteringly with a
schoolboy band, exploded with Wham! before he became a solo
phenomenon. But at the height of his fame, the world seemed to turn
against him. Smith describes his despair at losing the two people
who mattered most, how he sought consolation in drugs, his
notorious 'coming out' and how he ended up in jail. His health
failed him and he died heartbreakingly alone on Christmas Day,
2016. Affectionate yet honest and moving, George is both a
celebration of George Michael's music and a lasting tribute to a
decent and much-loved man.
