It follows Michael’s illustrious 40-year career from his early days in the 1980s as one half of the duo outfit Wham! to his massive solo career that extended well into the new millennium
The English singer-songwriter, record producer and philanthropist sold over 100 million records over the course of his career, including 10 number one songs on the Billboard Hot 100 list, and winning numerous music awards. Michael came out publicly as gay in 1998, the same year he was arrested (entrapped?) for lewd behaviour in a public restroom.
