Letter: Wham goes a star
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: I know very little of the technicalities of the court case involving George Michael and Sony. What appears to have happened is that the public will be deprived of George Michael's music for a further nine years.
I am not a fan of George Michael, but while I understand that he should not be able to just walk away from his contract with Sony, he is obviously a talented man and it would be a great shame to have that talent curtailed in such a way.
We have lost many talented musicians. Buddy Holly, John Lennon, Freddie Mercury and Kurt Cobain have all been lost in circumstances that are irreversible. George Michael's situation is reversible, and despite the difficulties involved, both parties should rethink in order that both George and his fans can enjoy his music once more.
Yours faithfully,
