Winning several awards including the Grammy for Album of the Year in 1989, George showed how he had the ability to captivate audiences and maintain a gigantic fanbase all on his own.

To date, over 20 million copies of the album have been sold worldwide.

The album went on to produce six Top 5 Billboard Hot 100 hits - 'Faith', 'Father Figure', 'One More Try' and 'Monkey all went number one, making him the only male British singer to get four number one singles from a single album on the Billboard Hot 100.

His most recent projects included new single 'White Light' - which he performed at the 2012 Summer Olympics Closing Ceremony.
