Synopsis

There has been tremendous interest in George Michael following his tragic, unexpected death on Christmas Day 2016. There are no biographies about him published in the U.S. or widely available in the U.S. By quickly bringing a biography to the market, we expect substantial media coverage from music and LGBT press in the U.S. The U.K. edition will be serialized in the Daily Mail. The author will be interviewed on BBC Radio 2, and reviews are already lined up for OK! and Pick Me Up. Michael was a teen heartthrob around the world with Wham! in the early '80s and had even greater success as a solo artist. Michael was an LGBT icon, and this book discusses his insecurity about his sexuality, losing his first lover to AIDS in the early '90s, his campaign work for LGBT rights, and his fundraising for HIV/AIDS. Michael sold more than 100 million records worldwide. His solo debut, Faith, sold more than 20 million copies worldwide and was certified diamond (more than 10 million sold) in the U.S. He had eight #1 hits in the U.S. He won two Grammy Awards, three American Music Awards, and four MTV Video Music Awards.
