00:45 Slagged, yeah.

00:46 It knocked George.

00:47 People weren't taking him seriously as a songwriter.

00:50 Pop became a very dirty word.

00:52 Whilst I was happy being in a band,

00:55 George needed more.

00:57 ♪

01:01 I never felt that our music defined me

01:03 in the same way that it did for George.

01:06 As a young gay man, I was just uncomfortable

01:08 'cause I was closeted.

01:10 For George, chart position was the ultimate validation.

01:13 I was forging an identity through my success.

01:16 And by necessity, I went with full gusto

01:19 into the progression of Wham!

01:23 ♪

01:24 ♪ Ooh, ooh ♪
