Careless Whispers: The Life and Career of George Michael

Careless Whispers: The Life and Career of George Michael by Steele, Robert. Hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781785585999.

George Michael was pops greatest survivor. He has been UK radios most-played artist over the last 35 years and the superstar behind the legendary 1980s Faith album and tour. He was a musician with international credibility―and a disaster magnet whose serial scandals never seemed to dent his professional reputation. This searching biography throws a light on Georgios Panayiotou, the Anglo-Greek London boy who had to hide his homosexuality when he was half of the pop phenomenon Wham! before becoming a global superstar and publicly claiming his identity. In Careless Whispers, author Robert Steele details every step of the conflicted superstars career and digs deep into his closely guarded private life. Drawing on firsthand accounts from Michaels ex-manager and the journalist who was part of his social circle in the 1980s, Careless Whispers examines in detail the life, work, and tragic final act of a much-loved icon.
