Krátky popis
He wrote one of the biggest hits of our age in ‘about an hour’ in
his childhood bedroom and would go on to collaborate with some of
the greatest musicians of all time, from Aretha Franklin to Stevie
Wonder.He was a pop star who bleached his hair blonde, wore tiny
shorts and, at the same time, critiqued his own image
mercilessly.He lived through the AIDS crisis and one of the most
homophobic periods of British history and yet when he finally came
out, he did so boldly and unapologetically.Wham! were the first
Western pop group to play in Communist China and despite becoming a
staple for easy-listening radio, he repeatedly broke boundaries in
music too.He was the poppiest of pop stars but would go on
television to denounce the Iraq War.Ten years after his death, and
even leaving aside the accelerating success of ‘Last Christmas’,
George Michael is still everywhere: from ‘Father Figure’ to
‘Freedom’ and ‘Careless Whisper’, there are fresh covers of his
songs, endless memes on social media, and show-stopping appearances
on soundtracks.Tonight the Music Seems So Loud is at once a
kaleidoscopic portrait of one of Britain’s most beloved musicians
and an account of a strange and turbulent period of British
history. In his unconventional and enthralling new book,
bestselling author Sathnam Sanghera explores the connection between
music and politics, exposes what secrecy does to the soul, and
reveals how fame rots the sense of self. Throughout, Sanghera
captures, joyfully and poignantly, one of Britain’s greatest
artists in all his musical glory.
