Description
One of the bestselling musicians of all time, George Michael transitioned from a teen heartthrob as part of pop duo WHAM! into a global superstar as a solo artist. Decades after their initial release, his hits ‘Careless Whisper’, ‘Faith’, ‘Freedom! ’90’ and ‘Last Christmas’ are enduringly popular and regularly voted as some of the United Kingdom’s favourite songs.
On Christmas Day 2016, fans across the world were shocked and saddened by George Michael’s sudden passing at the age of 53. Since then, numerous stories of his compassion, kindness and generosity have emerged. Remembered for his philanthropy as well as his musical talent, he is one of the world’s most beloved pop stars. Inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2023, George Michael’s status as a music icon was set in stone.
The George Michael 2024 UK Coin celebrates the singer, songwriter, producer and philanthropist’s life and legacy, and is the latest release in our Music Legends Collection. Featuring a reverse design by acclaimed artist and sculptor Sandra Deiana
