George Michael nominated for Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as family hail fans

George Michael has been nominated for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame - as his family has hailed the "ever continuing support” of his fans. The former Wham! singer has been nominated seven years after his death.

He is up for induction into the celebrated hall of fame alongside Kate Bush, Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order and 10 other acts. The late pop star's representatives, George Michael Entertainment, told PA: “We are delighted and proud that George Michael has been acknowledged and nominated to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for 2023.

“Along with the many accolades he received throughout his career, we know he would have been honoured to be included amongst this year’s extraordinary group of talented musicians. On behalf of George’s family and GME we would like to congratulate the other nominees and to thank George’s loyal fans and lovers of his music for their ever continuing support.”
