George Michael was an English singer and songwriter. He is considered one of the most significant cultural icons of the MTV generation and is one of the best-selling musicians of all time, with sales of over 120 million records worldwide.
George Michael was born Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou on June 25, 1963, in East Finchley. His father is called Kyriacos “Jack” Panayiotou and was a Greek-Cypriot restaurateur who emigrated from Patriki, Cyprus to England in the 1950s. His mother is called Lesley Angold born Harrison, died in 1997 and was an English dancer.
In June 2008, Michael told the Los Angeles Times that his maternal grandmother was Jewish, but she married a non-Jewish man and raised her children with no knowledge of their Jewish background due to her fear during World War II. Michael spent most of his childhood in Kingsbury, London, in the home his parents bought soon after his birth; he attended Roe Green Junior School and Kingsbury High School. Michael had two sisters: Yioda born in 1958 and Melanie born in 1960 and pass on in 2019. On the BBC’s Desert Island Discs, he disclosed that his interest in music followed an injury to his head around the age of eight.
