Tragic Details About George Michael

George Michael carried an air of mystery about him, which matched his soulfulness and seriousness about his art. That all hinted at a man who dealt with profound sadness, misery, and heartbreak. Here's the tragic real-life story of George Michael.

The early years of George Michael don't seem to have been outwardly traumatic, but they were reportedly marked with a damaging coldness and distance from his family. The future star was raised in a small London apartment by two parents, but his father, an emigrant who ran a restaurant, was rarely around, which created a disconnect between father and son. According to People magazine, Michael said,

"I was never praised, never held. So it wasn't exactly the Little House On The Prairie."

While he was interested in music from an early age, he didn't realize he wanted to pursue music as his life's work until after he got seriously hurt. In his memoir, Bare, he wrote,

"At the age of about eight I had a head injury and I know it sounds bizarre and unlikely, but it was quite a bad bang, and I had it stitched up and stuff. Suddenly, all I wanted to know about was music."

He didn't let his father know about his ambitions right away. He told Event Magazine,

"Funnily enough, my father always used to say that he didn't think I could sing."
