George Michael’s Life-Changing Act Of Generosity Revealed By His Backing Singer
The Wham! and solo star made many acts of kindness, often to strangers, which came to light after his death in 2016.
Now, his backing singer Shirley Lewis has revealed that she was also the beneficiary of his great kindness, when she found herself struggling financially. He asked what was wrong and I told him my husband and I were in a really bad place and I’d lost some cash, and he said he was going to give me some money and hung up. On that sad day and since, many people have come forward with anecdotes of how the singer stepped in to help them – from a woman on a UK TV show who couldn’t afford IVF treatment to have a baby until she received a secret donation, to a waitress in a restaurant whom the star overheard sharing her money worries, and he wrote her a check on the spot for thousands of pounds.
