About this deal

Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 was released in September 1990. The title is an indication of his desire to be taken more seriously as a songwriter. [69] The album was released in Europe on 3 September 1990, and one week later in the US. It reached No. 1 in the UK Albums Chart [13] and peaked at No. 2 on the US Billboard 200. [14] It spent a total of 88 weeks on the UK Albums Chart and was certified four-times Platinum by the BPI. [70] The album produced five UK singles, all of which were released within an eight-month period: " Praying for Time", " Waiting for That Day", " Freedom! '90", " Heal the Pain", and " Cowboys and Angels" (the latter being his only single not to chart in the UK top 40). [13] Michael refused to do any promotion for the album. [68] At the 1991 Brit Awards, Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 won the award for Best British Album. [71] Amazing (UK CD1 disc notes). George Michael. Aegean Records, Sony Music UK. 2004. 674726 2. {{ cite AV media notes}}: CS1 maint: others in cite AV media (notes) ( link) During the late 1980s, Michael had a relationship with make-up artist Kathy Jeung, who was regarded for a time as his artistic "muse" and who appeared in the " I Want Your Sex" video. [165] Michael later said that she had been his "only bona fide" girlfriend, and that she knew of his bisexuality. [160] In 2016, Jeung reacted to Michael's death by calling him a "true friend" with whom she had spent "some of the best time of [her] life". [166] In November 1984, Michael joined other British and Irish pop stars of the era to form Band Aid, singing on the charity song "Do They Know It's Christmas?" for famine relief in Ethiopia. This single became the UK Christmas number one in December 1984, holding Michael's own song, "Last Christmas" by Wham!, at No. 2. [226] "Do They Know It's Christmas?" sold 3.75million copies in the UK and became the biggest-selling single in UK chart history, a title it held until 1997 when it was overtaken by Elton John's " Candle in the Wind 1997", released in tribute to Princess Diana following her death (Michael attended Diana's funeral with Elton John). [226] Michael donated the royalties from "Last Christmas" to Band Aid and subsequently sang with Elton John at Live Aid (the Band Aid charity concert) in 1985. [227]

On 1 March 2004, "Amazing" was released in the United Kingdom. The song debuted at number four on the UK Singles Chart, selling 41,000 copies in its first week. [5] Outside of the UK, the song was also successful. It reached number one in Spain, Italy, Poland, and Hungary. In 2006, Michael performed a free concert for NHS nurses in London to thank the nurses who had cared for his late mother. He told the audience: "Thank you for everything you do — some people appreciate it. Now if we can only get the government to do the same thing." [222] On 23 July 2006, Michael was again accused of engaging in anonymous public sex, this time at London's Hampstead Heath. [190] Michael stated that his cruising for anonymous sex was not an issue in his relationship with partner Kenny Goss. [191] George Michael's condition worsened overnight say doctors". Vienna Times.
