I’m surprised its been so long for him. Was he not welcome for his many cottaging incidents, or did the slobbering self-pity of grunge make his pop-stylings seem shallow or obsolete?

Fun facts about George Michael. You decide which one is false:

1) Wham UK started out as a rap band and Lady P knows all their lyrics by heart.

2) George Michael started out life as Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotoulos, but changed his surname to Michael to sound less swarthy.

3) He released one album under the name Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou. The album cover shows him standing with his back to a camera while working the deep-fryer in a Brixton chip-shop with a gun held to his head. The album title is Everybody’s Gyro.
