George Michael Greatest Hits

Singer and original songwriter Georgios Krylacos Panayiotou was born in Hertfordshire, England on June 25, 1963. Although his achievements in the field of music can be said to be good, but many scandals are also done by the man who bears George Michael's stage name.

George had horrendous fans with the recognition that he was a gay. In an interview conducted in 2007, he declared that he did not immediately provide the public about the fact because he feared it would affect his mother who was unable to accept the fact.

Since then he publicly announced that he had a relationship with a man named Anselmo Feleppa whom he met at the Rock in Rio concert in 1991. Unfortunately the relationship did not last long because two years later, precisely in 1993, Anselmo Feleppa died due to cerebral hemorrhage.

In 1996, George was rumored to have a relationship with Kenny Goss, an entrepreneur who eventually also became George's business partner. But have not had time to officially announce their relationship, both of which have drawn protests from many parties.

Both are rumored to have ended the relationship in December 2008. But the news was denied by George. In fact, Kenny Goss came at the time of George's trial due to allegations of marijuana use on September 14, 2010.

In addition to the same-sex relationship scandal, George also tripped several times the case of 'illicit goods'. On February 26, 2006, he was arrested for allegedly taking a class B drug. He admitted to regretting his actions, but it turned out that on September 19, 2008, he was caught in a toilet taking drugs class A and C. After that he was arrested, and a few moments later were reported ill as a result of the consumption of illegal drugs.
