George Michael was a gifted soul singer whose music was both pained and erotic. He was a songwriter of true craft and substance, but his fabricated image of a hypermacho sex god hid his secret: he was gay. His obsession with fame began to backfire, and the press showed little sympathy. George Michael: A Life explores his metamorphosis from Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou into the swaggering, dominant half of Wham! and his sensational solo career. It is a probing, definitive portrait of a pop legend.

He was a songwriter of real talent and depth, and his music reached people all over the world in the middle of the 1980s. He had a made-up image of a macho sex god, but in reality, he was gay.
