Rest In Peace George Michael

in #news8 years ago (edited)

At the age of 53 the legendary pop icon passed away. Another great artist 2016 took away. What a year for the music industry it was! Londoner Michael, born Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou, found fame with vocal duo Wham in the early-to mid-80s, clocking up 25 million record sales with chart-dominating hits like Young Guns, Wake Me Up Before You Go-go and, of course, Last Christmas, before the band split in 1985. His solo career was, if anything, even more successful, establishing him as a global superstar, and selling a further 50 million records along the way.
