George Michael signs book deal with HarperCollins, set to release "no holds barred" memoirs in 2009

George Michael has signed with HarperCollins to write his autobiography in what the publisher said was one of the biggest book deals ever concluded in UK publishing. The deal for world rights was agreed by Belinda Budge, m.d. and publisher of Harper NonFiction UK, with Michael's manager Andy Stephens and his book agency, Grace.

The autobiography, which HC described as "access all areas", covering both Michael's personal and professional life, will be published in autumn 2009 by HC in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and India.

Manager Andy Stephens said: "George has promised HarperCollins a no-holds barred biography, and it’s certain to be just that. People aren’t stupid, they're beginning to notice that the truth is more interesting than the stories the press come up with!"

Budge added: "This is an incredibly exciting publishing event. George is one of the best known and best loved pop singers in the world, with an extraordinary story to tell. I am particularly thrilled by this deal, as I have long been a fan of George's. Most importantly, this really will be a truly authentic book— and an exceptional one, as he’s going to be writing it entirely himself."

I have a feeling he's a top. Something about his partner in Dallas tells me he is definitely a top.
