Join The Long Play Sessions for a fascinating exploration of the life, music and legacy of George Michael, as prize-winning author Sathnam Sanghera delves into the extraordinary story behind one of Britain’s most beloved musical icons.

Through George Michael’s remarkable journey, Sathnam explores the defining forces of his life and career — from immigration, homophobia and fame to the cultural landscape of the 1980s and 90s, creative genius, the tabloids, addiction, obsessive fans and shame. A revealing and deeply engaging conversation about an artist whose music continues to resonate, and whose legacy has only grown in the years since his tragic death in 2016.

Reviews:

‘A compulsive new fan’s-eye life of the singer . . . A fabulous account of the various expressions of George’s precocious and polymathic talent, from writing "Careless Whisper" aged 17 on the top deck of the No 32 bus to the great soul-revival of Faith’ ― OBSERVER
