He was a songwriter of true craft and substance, and his music swept the world in the mid-1980s. His fabricated image of a hyper-macho sex god loomed large in the pop culture of his day. It also hid for a time 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 a deep analysis of the creative process behind Michael's albums, tours, music videos, and interviews with hundreds of his friends and colleagues, George Michael: A Life is a probing, definitive portrait of a pop legend.
