About George Michael
George Michael was born "Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou" on June 25, 1963 in North London, England. George Michael formed his first band, The Executive, with classmate Andrew Ridgeley in 1981, but the friends soon reformed as a duo called Wham! in 1982. George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley released their first single, "Wham Rap! (Enjoy What You Do)," in 1982, and their second, "Young Guns (Go For It!)," shortly thereafter.
Wham! received their golden ticket to stardom when they were invited to perform "Young Guns" on the British Top Of The Pops television program. George Michael and Ridgeley became an instant pop phenomenon, and when they released their first album, Fantastic, in 1983 it quickly climbed to the top of the charts. Soon, Wham! was rivaling the popularity of groups like Duran Duran and Culture Club. Wham! released two more albums, Make it Big in 1984 and Music from the Edge of Heaven in 1986, before George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley parted ways. Wham!'s last appearance together was at a concert at Wembley Stadium for which 73,000 fans had bought tickets for the sold out, eight-hour marathon event.
George Michael next embarked on a solo career, with the intention of targeting a more mature audience. He paired with Aretha Franklin for a one-off single, "I Knew You Were Waiting," which shot to the top of the charts in 1987. George Michael's first solo album, Faith was also released in 1987, and has sold over 10 million copies since, earning it a Diamond certification. Faith contained the well-known hits "I Want Your Sex," "Faith," "Father Figure," "One More Try," "Monkey," and "Kissing a Fool."
Tickets for the resulting "Faith Tour" sold out at every venue it visited, with fans clamoring to get their hands on mega-star George Michael tickets Next, George Michael decided to pursue a new, introspective direction. The resulting album, Listen Without Prejudice: Vol. 1, was also extremely successful and contained memorable songs like "Praying for Time" and "Freedom '90."
George Michael was unable to release any new material for the next six years due to a conflict with the Sony record label, but he continued to make live appearances and fans bought up George Michael tickets whenever they could. During this time, George Michael preformed both for charity events and in conjunction with other artists such as Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Queen, and K.D. Lang.
George Michael was finally able to release his third album, Older in 1996, which contained the hits "Fastlove" and "Jesus to a Child." George Michael's next studio album of original material, Patience, would not appear until 2004, but George Michael tickets were certainly available as he performed in a variety of events and released a string of Greatest Hits albums during this time. Most recently, George Michael released the album Twenty Five in 2006. The album is a celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of George Michael's career.
