I grew up listening to him and Michael Jackson. They were the coolest dudes around back then. Shame what happened to them.
What happened to George? I mean, I know he died relatively young, but I can't remember any MJ-like scandal with him. Unless you mean the whole lewd behaviour thing. If so, I wouldn't feel sorry for him about that. It was publicly awkward but in the end I imagine a great relief that he didn't have to pretend to be straight anymore. Not that anyone was buying that anyway...lol
Yeah Father Figure was one of his best. Praying For Time is another favourite of mine.
arrested for sucking **** in public isn't a scandal?
shareNo, it's a Saturday night for me.
sharelol, cool
shareSeriously I think everyone accepts George was framed. The cop stood there flashing his johnson at George for Christ’s sake. If that’s not entrapment I don’t know what is.
Have you seen the video to his song ‘Outside’? He completely owns the incident and mocks the cops. So yeah, in terms of scandals, it wasn’t like being accused of being a sick child molester.
no, i didn't know that
shareYeah, there were a few occasions where he crashed his car in London, whilst under the influence of drugs (have pop/rock stars never heard of chauffeurs or taxis?). He also fell out with Elton John, who went on to say that GM was in a bad place and that he was worried about his mental health. Then gone, aged 50ish - sad really.
shareHe was pretty tragic in his final years, addicted to drugs, had put on a lot of weight and was reclusive, he fell out of a moving car just a year or two before his death, and crashed his car in another incident.
He was a tragedy waiting to happen, sad really, I prefer to remember him from the Faith era and Wham! days.
That was a very popular song.
Probably even more popular than this:

Sure, it's great. But I do love the Tainted Cell video. It's so wrong! When he takes the little girl's apple...
shareThe 12 inch is better. 😎

Could be, I can't say. The video is my favorite part!
shareI'm uncomfortable about the content of the song. It's possibly about sex between a man and a boy.
Father figure? I'll be your daddy? Put your little hand in mine?!?!?
And what's with the line "sometimes love can be mistaken for a crime."
Yes, pedophilia is a crime.
And to really tell us that it's about a boy he even says "greet me with the eyes of a child."
Then we have the song One More Try, which is about a boy and his "teacher."
In this song George seems to be taking the voice of the besotted child.
It seems to be the story of a street boy who falls in love with a pedophile and wants to be rescued by his lover from the street.
But he's dealing with the rejection in a very forbidden and illegal relationship.
