Fan worship takes many forms. When George Michael died on Christmas Day 2016, his more ardent devotees were moved to lay tributes in a small fenced green opposite his house in Highgate, the north London village suburb.
For 18 months, the impromptu shrine attracted visitors from across the world. But that devotion, you might say, was small change beside the commitment of Stephen Cameron and his wife, Clare Harrison, who spent £19m on buying the late star’s home in 2020 in a private bidding process. Cameron declared a particular interest at the time. “It’s a beautiful property, stunning … I’m a huge George Michael fan, so that makes it even better.”
