George Michael fans have admitted to feeling “sick to their stomachs” over a new Channel 4 documentary which revealed the singer’s early career and how his sexuality became outed by the press.
In April 1998, pop singer George Michael was arrested in LA for performing a “lewd act” and became scrutinized in the tabloids for the arrest.
The singer sadly died due to a heart condition on December 25 2016, and many fans have spoken out about how he was treated after watching the documentary.

The new Channel 4 documentary gave insight into George Michael’s early career, and why the star was reluctant to come out in the first place.
Former manager Simon Napier-Bell revealed the Wham! star decided to keep his sexuality a secret from the music industry.
He admitted: “He knew he couldn’t come out as the front man of Wham!”
Archive footage from George revealed that he “completely resented” that “everyone thought they deserved to know”.
George’s former partner Kenny Goss also appeared in the documentary and gave insight into the pair’s early relationship.
But as the documentary exposed how George Michael was treated, especially regarding his 1998 arrest, fans admitted feeling heartbreak and anger for the star.
