Am 25. Dezember 2016 starb George Michael überraschend mit nur 53 Jahren an Herzversagen, was für Familie, Freunde und Fans ein Schock war. Mit seinen Songs prägte er den Soundtrack einer ganzen Generation: Die Achtziger waren untrennbar mit Hits wie „Careless Whisper“ und „Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go“ verbunden. Auch heute wird „Last Christmas“ jährlich gehört. George Michael wurde durch Wham! zum Teen-Idol und fand danach als Songwriter und Interpret ein erwachsenes Publikum. Seine warme Soulstimme verlieh seinen Balladen und Dancefloor-Hymnen gleichermaßen Intensität. Klassiker wie „Freedom“, „Faith“ und „I Want Your Sex“ prägten die Neunzigerjahre. David Nolan würdigt in seiner Biografie Michaels Leben und Werk. Das Buch ist reich illustriert mit Fotografien renommierter Künstler und thematisiert Michaels Dilemma: den Aufstieg im Pop-Olymp und den inneren Konflikt mit seinem Star-Status. Er war überzeugt, dass seine Musik das Wichtigste sei, während die Medien sich auf sein Privatleben konzentrierten. Neben seinen Hits sorgten Drogen, Autounfälle und seine sexuelle Orientierung für Schlagzeilen. Nolan beleuchtet einfühlsam, wie Michaels Privatleben und kreatives Schaffen zusammenhingen, und fängt seine vielschichtige Persönlichkeit sowie sein Talent meisterhaft ein.
