  • George Michael rose to fame as a member of the pop duo Wham! with their first two albums reaching #1 with hit singles including “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” and “Last Christmas”.
    With us today is Simon Napier-Bell, who managed WHAM’s career, helping establish them as a global act and the driving force behind their groundbreaking Beijing concert, the first visit to China by a Western popular music act, which generated worldwide media coverage.
    THE REAL GEORGE MICHAEL is by far the most definitive feature documentary on George Michael’s amazing life, the film explores the many ups and downs of the Grammy Award winner, considered one of the best-selling musicians of all time with sales of over 120 million records worldwide.
    The film documentary dives deeper into who George really was - a kind and generous person who ultimately fought many demons while being front and center as one of the most famous musicians of his time.
    Simon Napier-Bell is a rock manager, author and film-maker. He's managed The Yardbirds, T Rex, Asia, Sinéad O'Connor, Wham, and George Michael just to name a few.

    I don't know how you can say you miss someone you never personally met but I miss George Michael. I feel it in the core of my being that my world is a little less wonderful because he is no longer here. I hope that he is with his lovely mum Lesley, his sister Melanie and of course Anselmo and that he is at peace...finally. What an amazing, generous, talented and kind soul he was. My only hope is that his music is kept alive for future generous to enjoy. I would hate for anyone to miss the experience of hearing one of the best vocalist, songwriters and producers that ever lived. RIP George.

      Beautifully put. You put into words exactly what I think every day. Loved him since 1983 when I was 13. It’s just wrong that he is not in the world any longer.😢❤

    I am a Huge fan of Wham! Even bigger fan of George. George is beloved still to this day, the world over..The music he wrote, he left etched in many souls. For me, I never paid much attention to what the tabloids and papers said about George’s private life. I’m intelligent enough to know that these things are over exaggerated and many times there’s barely a grain of truth in those headlines. What I’m grateful for is, the beautiful and unforgettable music he left to his fans.. i’m sad that he left this earth so early in his life, but the mark he made, is incomparable.

    I cannot get enough of watching everything about George.
    I never even heard of this man until I watched the documentary on NETFIX.
    HE LOOKS AND ACTS SO MUCH LIKE MY LATE HUSBAND AND I cry every time I see anything about him. I do not care that he was gay, he had a beautiful heart and
    he had a,beautiful face and body just like my husband .
    I lost husband in 2018 ,'it is now 2023.
    I have cried every day since I lost him.
    But when I watch his biography , It is,like watching my husband.
    I cannot help but cry.

    Great interview. Surprised GM never wrote completed songs down as his early songs were so good. Unusual way to work but obviously worked for him. I always write music first, then lyrics, and everything down on paper. He was a great songwriter and best vocalist I've heard. And such a kind genuine humble person. Well played George, you are missed. And well done SNB on your documentary.

    Something I have wondered about for a long time that it is claimed that Wham toured in Europe?. Whenever I searched online I can't find this information anywhere..... On the other hand they participated in TV shows in other countries, but no real concerts except UK, Ireland, Japan, Australia, United States, Hong Kong and China. I was and am a big fan from Sweden and of course had hoped that they had toured in Scandinavia. Luckily, I was able to see all of George Michael's all concerts in my own country, but I have always wondered about this specific question, anyone?

      I watched an interview with Andrew and Shirlie and he confirmed that WHAM! never did a concert in Europe. A huge regret for him.

      @@pamsaunders9841 Thank you so much for the information ❤️ but is it not quite weird, that they are showing all these names of cities in Europe when talking specificly about tours in the documentary , when they actually didn't tour Europe at all....
