George Michael: One Night in New York
Adrian Deevoy, Q, February 1992
In Britain, George Michael is a household name. In the USA, however, he is really well known. To alleviate the pressures of touring there, he travels with an entourage of friends, family and business associates. Oh, and a couple of pneumatically-muscled security persons. Adrian Deevoy joined the party in America.
