Che cos'è questo libro? Un romanzo? Una storia d'amore? La favola dell'amicizia? Un sogno? Senza dubbio una delle opere più creative che siano mai state scritte in Italia.

George Michael: A Life explores the compelling story of a superstar whose struggles, as well as his songs, continue to touch fans all over the world.

So if this was to be the last tour and the last great adventure, he decided it would have to be the best one, onstage and off.
