10:44AM Clem Bastow | Gossip girls and boys the world over will be clapping their hands at the news that George Michael has just
signed on to write an epic, totally authorised and totally tell-all autobiography with HarperCollins.
And given that he’d certainly have a lot of stories to tell, unless something goes horribly wrong and the book turns into a 500-page literature version of Jesus To A Child, we’re about as excited as everyone at HC and in his management team is – VERY!
The book, dubbed “one of the hottest remaining untold celebrity memoirs”, will cover the pop star’s personal and professional life and will hit the shelves in autumn next year.
Michael’s manager Andy Stephens said: “George has promised HarperCollins a no-holds-barred biography, and it’s certain to be just that.
“People aren’t stupid, they’re beginning to notice that the truth is more interesting than the stories the press come up with.”
Belinda Budge, managing director and publisher of Harper NonFiction UK, said: “This is an incredibly exciting publishing event.
“George is one of the best known and best loved pop singers in the world, with an extraordinary story to tell.
“I am particularly thrilled by this deal, as I have long been a fan of George’s. “Most importantly, this really will be a truly authentic book – and an exceptional one, as he’s going to be writing it entirely himself.”
Hopefully the back cover will have a cut-out-and-keep Camberwell carrot paper so that readers can enjoy the book with a nice long joint jazz cigarette.
It’s the way George would want it to happen.
