George Michael

George Michael (real name Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou; June 25, 1963, London – December 25, 2016, Oxfordshire) was a British singer, poet, and composer. During his musical career (solo and as part of the duo Wham!), about 100 million copies of his recordings were sold, which makes Michael one of the most successful pop singers. He was a two-time Grammy Award winner—in the "Album of the Year" category (Faith, 1988) and for best R&B performance by a duo or group with vocals (with Aretha Franklin, the song "I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)", 1987).
