Georgios Panayiotou was just eighteen when he decided to adopt
the stage name of George Michael. 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. 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.
