But what’s the actual story? Your uncle killed himself and he was definitely gay? That’s what the song on your last album, My Mother Had A Brother, is about. Someone warned me that it can be hard to shut George Michael up. Except that recent bit of car trouble he’d had – the interview took place just before he was due in court on charges of being asleep at the wheel, and his solicitors had begged him to keep his mouth shut. Which makes sense – what’s he got to hide these days? He says we can talk about anything. Passionate and unapologetic, he is also candid. Now George is – officially – The World’s Gayest Man. After his arrest for cottaging in 1998 he came tumbling out of the closet, and straight onto CNN – although it’s debatable how closeted he’d been before. Did he turn and flee? Did he buggery? George just barked at the paparazzo: “Are you gay? No? Then fuck off! This is my culture!” George was taking a late-night stroll on Hampstead Heath when he was ambushed by a photographer from the News of the World. Although it’s probably not what George Michael would like to be remembered for, something happened a year ago that summed him up beautifully.
