To his home in oxfordshire shortly before 2pm on Christmas Day. Theyve confirmed he was found dead at the scene. Its being treated as unexplained but not suspicious. George michael shot to fame in the 1980s with the group wham, and went on to have a hugely successful solo career. Andy moore looks back at his life. Well, i hadnt seen your face around town a while, so i greeted you, with a knowing smile. He burst onto the scene in the early 1980s when he formed wham with andrew ridgeley. The duo had number one singles around the world. They even conquered china, becoming the First Western pop band to perform there. George michael loved fame but never became used to it. To be obviously a part of peoples lives as an artist, thats what i dreamed of and thats what im still grateful for. But my god, i wish i could cope with the other stuff the way other people do. I wish id been born with that particular suit of armour, you know, because i wasnt. You know not everybody has got a body like you
