He is raised in Kingsbury, in north London, by his Greek Cypriot restaurateur father and English dancer mother. His father had moved to London in the 1950s and changed his name to Jack Panos.

Superstar assignations or heroin with an entourage were not George Michael’s style – instead it was cruising Hampstead Heath, smoking weed, and a career that faced his personal life honestly * See all our George Michael coverage here No matter how diligently George Michael tried at times to sink his career, his career just wouldn’t go away. If anything – as he told Kirsty Young when he was a Desert Island Discs castaway in 2007 – it kept bobbing buoyantly, untarnished by scandal. With Michael, there was no such thing as “reputational damage”; even incidents that were the stuff of publicists’ nightmares, such as the 1998 arrest in a men’s toilet, did little material harm. The impression until yesterday was that he could have picked up his career again at any time – there were rumours of a new album and documentary in 2017 – and been as successful as ever. He probably wouldn’t have sold as many records as in the days when Faith and Listen Without Prejudice Vol 1 sold 33m copies between them, but nobody does that now. Yet any tour with his name on it would have been an instant sellout, and a major music event. For that, he could thank the elan he displayed in response to his scrapes, and the humanising effect of owning up to them. Michael was self-admittedly “extraordinarily wealthy”, and more private than almost any other pop star in his league. He could seem remote and chippy; playing Wembley Stadium in 2007, he had a special greeting for the press box: “Kiss my hairy Greek ass!” (His rancorous relationship with the media had become increasingly poor after the toilet incident, and that wasn’t his only outburst at the Wembley show.) But when trouble came, he met it with truthfulness and humour, and was rewarded with not just the support of fans but an absence of the tawdriness that usually clings to stars who’ve been caught doing seedy things.

The illegal deportation of migrants trying to reach Western Europe via the so-called Balkan route is on the rise, warned on Monday UN’s Refugee Agency, reported AFP, cited by Focus Agency. “Nearly 1,000 people from the Middle East, Asia and Africa have been deported from the Balkan route in November, more than before,” announced the spokesperson for UNHCR in Serbia Miryana Milenkovska. Thousands of migrants attempted a journey via the Balkan route through Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia and Hungary trying to reach Western Europe from Greece before it was closed in March. Non-governmental organisations on human rights and activists also warn of a growing number of migrants who are registered legally but are deported illegally from Serbia to Bulgaria and Macedonia.
