After decades in the spotlight, it’s easy to forget just how young Michael was when he started his music career; he was just 17 when Wham! signed its first record deal, and only 20 when the duo’s first album, Fantastic, reached number one in the U.K. album charts. Since Michael’s death, stories have emerged of Michael’s understated philanthropy and kindness: A 5,000 pound tip to a waitress struggling with student debt; a 50,000 pound donation to a woman hoping to undergo fertility treatments; millions of pounds given to the children’s charity Childline. In the below interview, reprinted from our October 1988 issue, Michael is 25 years old and fresh off the success of his debut solo album Faith. It’s 2 o’clock in the afternoon. George Michael is having a club sandwich and a diet cola for lunch. He’s wearing a black crew-neck t-shirt, slightly worn blue jeans (fashionably torn at the knee), and black Western-style boots. His hair is perfectly coiffed, and his three-day growth of stubble is carefully groomed. Unlike so many stars who barely resemble in person their photographic or celluloid images, George Michael looks very much like, well, George Michael. I catch up with the British pop star on the third leg of his U.S. tour. He is about to play three sold-out concerts in New York’s Madison Square Garden and has been on the road for nearly seven months now. Outwardly, at least, he doesn’t look the worse for wear. In fact, as he peers out of his hotel window, 17 floors above Central Park, he seems quite oblivious to the hoopla surrounding him. It has been six years since George Michael burst onto the music scene as one half of the pop duo Wham! In tandem with boyhood friend Andrew Ridgeley, Michael produced three albums for Wham! The second, Make It Big, spawned several hits on the British and American carts, including three chart-topping singles. It also established Wham! as international pop stars. The Wham! years were not altogether idyllic for Michael. Music critics were quite uncharitable, dismissing Wham! as something of a joke, and Michael as something of a poseur. And at the time, Michael did little to dispel such criticism. He was perfectly happy to play the teen idol, prancing around in short pants, singing such sophomoric tunes as “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go.” The British tabloids were not especially kind to Michael either. They insinuated that the pop star was gay, a charge Michael says he will not dignify with a response one way or the other. They also implied that he was heavily involved with drugs, and accusation he has since denied. In 1985, Michael decided to walk away from Wham! and from partner Ridgeley—who reportedly suffered a nervous breakdown—to embark upon a solo career. Last year, he released his debut album, Faith, which became an immediate sensation. (Sales were helped by the controversy around “I Want Your Sex,” which was banned by numerous radio stations across the country.) In a year’s time, the LP has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide. Five consecutive singles from the album rose to number one on the pop charts, a feat achieved by only one other individual in pop history—Michael Jackson. What pleases Michael most about his debut album is that it silenced critics who questioned his musical integrity. The LP has been universally praised for its provocativeness, its soulfulness, and its depth. Faith, says Michael, is merely a reflection of the maturing process he has undergone as an artist and as a person. His best work, he says, is still before him.
