Sathnam Sanghera

Spend an hour with British pop icon George Michael through the eyes of award-winning journalist and author Sathnam Sanghera, and be guided through the life, music and enduring legacy of one of Britain’s most loved recording artists. This is far more than a musical celebration – it’s a sharp, thoughtful exploration of fame, identity, sexuality, immigration, and belonging in Britain’s recent history.

Through personal reflections and cultural insight, Sanghera reveals why George Michael’s story continues to resonate a decade after his death, and with humour, heart, and fresh perspective, he illuminates the man behind the legend, and the society that shaped him.

A must-attend Hay Festival conversation for fans, music lovers and anyone captivated by culture, identity and the art of storytelling.
