George Michael was only 21 and had the whole world loving his music. He was the biggest star on the planet with his band Wham. He did not care about being rich or famous during that cold winter. But one thing he cared about was humanity. So, he joined a group of singers called Band Aid to record a song to help hungry people in Africa.
The song they sang was “Do They Know It’s Christmas.” George knew that many people were suffering and needed food to stay alive. Most singers only care about their own success, but George was different. He worked very hard in the studio to make sure every note was perfect. His BTS struggle shows how invested he was in the song.
