Legendary singer Frank Sinatra apparently sent a personal letter to George Michael in the early 1990s, urging him to not waste his singing talent, it has been revealed.
Michael died at the age of 53 at his home in England on Christmas Day, according to his publicist.
But when he was 27 years old in 1990, Michael told the Los Angeles Times’s Calendar magazine that he would be avoiding the limelight after the release of his then-latest album, “Listen Without Prejudice, Vol 1,” saying he wouldn’t do tours, music videos, or very many interviews. Sinatra apparently saw the letter and wasn’t impressed with his answers before he wrote to the LA Times, which published his follow-up letter a week later.
“I don’t understand a guy who lives ‘in hopes of reducing the strain of his celebrity status,’” Sinatra wrote in the letter, which resurfaced online after Michael’s death.
