George Michael at the Top of the World: The Loneliness Nobody Saw

He was twenty-one, the most famous young man on earth — and the only place he could breathe was a locked hotel bathroom. In 1984, Make It Big carried George Michael and Wham! to the top of the world: number one in America, sold-out arenas, screaming crowds in every city. But behind the biggest year of his life was a boy from Finchley carrying a secret he believed could end everything, calling his mother from hotel rooms and quietly losing himself in the noise.
