Synopsis

In the early hours of Christmas morning, 2016, George Michael died at his home in Goring-on-Thames, aged only 53. He was found dead, lying in bed, by his then partner Fadi Fawaz. No cause of death was immediately determined. Throughout his career, George Michael was known for both his chart-topping hits and his turbulent personal life. Brushes with the law and tales of his drug use increasingly made more impact than his musical output. There are a lot of unanswered questions surrounding the singer's death. Health scares dogged the last decade of his life. But it was ultimately fame that led the singer to his downfall.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 7

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
