Here pictured with Andrew Ridgely - Simon Napier-Bell.

George Michael: Portrait of an Artist is a wonderful, revealing, and moving documentary on iTunes and Amazon (if not in your territory yet it will come soon). Directed by Simon Napier-Bell who co-managed Wham! in the 1980s, he was responsible for their concert in China - the first by a western band.

The documentary features interviews with only those who knew George Michael or had worked with him. (Stevie Wonder, Stephen Fry, Rufus Wainright, Andrew Ridgeley, Sananda Maitreya (fmr Terence Trent D'arby), Tom Robinson, and George's long-time partner Kenny Goss. In the podcast, Simon talks extensively about George, his life, and his demons, in addition to giving us a portrait of his own life.
