2/3. Mark Goodier presents an in-depth profile of pop statesman George Michael , from his success in the hit duo Wham! to the huge solo career for which he has fine-tuned a theatrical, breath-heavy vocal style. The story continues with the 1987 blockbuster album Faith, which spawned four number one singles in America but none in Britain. The singer discusses his successive releases, the nasty court battle with Sony Records and his tabloid-splattering Los Angeles arrest, which outed him as a gay man.
