#139. Simon Napier-Bell on his new documentary – George Michael: Portrait of an Artist

In episode #139 of The XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar meets legendary music manager Simon Napier-Bell to discuss his latest documentary - George Michael: Portrait of an Artist.

Simon Napier-Bell is an English record producer, music manager, author and journalist. Simon has managed artists as diverse as the Yardbirds, Marc Bolan, Japan, Ultravox, Wham! and many more. In this interview, Simon talks about managing Wham! in the 80s, organising their concert in China, turning down The Pet Shop Boys, and we go in-depth about his brilliant documentary George Michael: Portrait of an Artist.

George Michael: Portrait of an Artist dives deeper into who George really was – a kind and generous person who ultimately fought many demons while being front and centre as one of the most famous musicians of his time – through never before heard anecdotal stories of his closest friends and allies.
