.. MYSPACELAYOUTSPY CODE END --George Michael was born Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou(nicknamed Yog by his family) on June 25, 1963 at 73 Church Lane, Finchley, London. He grew up in the 'burbs', the son of a Greek father and an English mother. After studying various instruments in school, George experimented with various bands and after a few false starts (including funk outfit The Executives), George teamed up with fellow Bushey Meads Secondary School pupil Andrew Ridgeley to form Wham! in 1982. As a party going, Formula 3 race car crashin' hedonist, Ridgeley represented the whole ethos of the band, while George provided all the essential bits, great songs, good voice and an ability to play a musical instrument.

As any true fan knows, Mrs. Panayiotou was his pillar of strength."My mother was a woman of great compassion, and she felt much as I do, that we were living in a world that was gradually being drained of that." "Very soon after she died, I went into the recording studio with an artist that I very much respect, a new artist, and I recorded a song that I hoped might help my father over the loss of someone that he loved for 40 years.""She pretty much used to go along with my dad in that she wanted me to get an education so that if this incredible dream I had didn't work out, I would have something to fall back on. But she's much more musical, and by the time I started writing songs--by the time I was about 17--she started to believe in me, musically."

GEORGE MICHAEL is set to follow pal SIR ELTON JOHN's example by marrying his gay partner KENNY GOSS in a pre-Christmas (05) ceremony. Like John and his partner DAVID FURNISH, Michael, 44, and Texan Goss will enter into a new civil partnership this Christmas, according to a spokesman for the couple.Michael says, "I'm sure Kenny and I will be doing the old legal thing, but we won't be doing the whole veil and gown thing."I'm not very romantic about it to be honest. I think Kenny probably would be if I let him, but it's just not me." Michael's main reason for marrying is to protect his financial assets and make sure Goss was benefactor to his estate after his death.He explains, "We want to do it, just in case. You never know, I could get hit by a bus and the poor man could have nothing."

George Michael's long awaited tour kicked off in Barcelona on the 23rd of September. George Michael wrote a special note to his fans, it read: "Well it just goes to show doesn't it? Never say never, because hell freezes over on a regular basis. I truly believed that tonight would never happen, that I would never sing these songs to you again. But then, I'm a fool, which you have probably worked out by now. My apologies for being such a tease, but believe me, I am going to make it up to you tonight. By the time you leave tonight, you will have forgiven me for the 15 years of silence. Well almost ....
