George Michael

The son of a Greek Cypriot and an Englishwoman, George Michael was born in North London, East Finchley. His musical career began in 1981 with the formation, together with Andrew Ridgeley, the pop group Wham !, which instantly became popular and won first places in the charts. However, the group disbanded in 1986, and Michael, who had already released the hit solo single "Careless Whisper" (the name may seem unfamiliar, but, rest assured, many people know this song by heart), decided to pursue his career on his own.
