Wham! Movie?
Wham!’s former manager Simon Napier-Bell is in talks with movie producers about bringing their story to the big screen but thinks that George Michael will put a stop to it.
“There are several people sniffing round about a Wham! film but I’m not sure any of them will come off because they all require Wham! music in them and George controls that,” said Napier-Bell.
Simon Napier-Bell, the manager of Wham! in the mid 1980s who masterminded the historic Wham! trip to China, went on to direct “George Michael: Portrait of an Artist” (Amazon Ad) in 2023. The documentary includes interviews with Stevie Wonder, Sanandra Maitreya, Stephen Fry, Kenny Goss, Chris Cameron, Rufus Wainwright, Piers Morgan, and Jo Whiley.
More information is available at the official site for George Michael: Portrait of an Artist.

Estelle Has “Faith”
If you like “Faith,” you might like Estelle’s new video for “No Substitute Love,” which includes the iconic “Faith” jukebox stance.
According to Wikipedia:
“No Substitute Love” is the third single from British hip-hop artist Estelle’s second album Shine (Amazon Ad). The song is an improvised cover of both Reggae performer Half Pint’s “Substitute Lover” and George Michael’s “Faith”. The song is her second international single in Europe.

The Goss-Michael Foundation has announced the winners of three $5,000 scholarships—the George Michael Music Scholarship, the Kenny Goss Art Scholarship for students from the Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Dallas, and the state-wide Goss Michael Foundation Texas Art Scholarship.
On June 1, 2008, Yours Only George celebrated its 11th birthday. It’s a bittersweet celebration for me as it occurs just at the time George Michael is starting his first tour in the U.S. for 17 years and I’m not going to see him. It’s the end of a dream for me as I now know I’ll never see him perform live again and I’ll never have the chance to meet him. It’s a dream I’ve had for 23 years … since 1985. Of all the goals and dreams I’ve ever had, I suppose this was the most illogical and unachievable one on the list. But it still saddens me that it’s over.
I’d like to thank all of the regulars who keep visiting day after day. I know I haven’t been very good about keeping up with the site lately in terms of news, links, and mail, and I do apologize.
I also have to thank Shannon, who was the driving force of Yours Only George, dating back to the 80s. Without her, I don’t know what I’d do.
And of course, I would like to thank George Michael. George, your music in the last few months has kept me sane through a difficult time. Thank you for not forgetting your U.S. fans.
