Careless Whispers: The Life & Career of George Michael

"The unexpected death of George Michael on Christmas Day 2016 brought to a close the life of one of the UK's most loved pop icons. In Careless Whispers author Robert Steele follows every step of the conflicted star's career and digs deep into his closely-guarded private life. Drawing on first-hand accounts from Michael's ex-manager and the journalist who was part of his social circle in the 1980s, Careless Whispers goes on to explore the most recent scandals and the imprisonment that might have derailed George Michael's career but, perhaps predictably, proved to be just another interruption in the métier of a much-loved icon. Finally, this authoritative biography reveals details of George Michael's astonishing philanthropy that became known in the aftermath of his death."--Back cover.
