Some strange revelations from George Michael today. It appears that the former face of Wham! only became interested in music after he suffered a severe blow to the head.

In an interview with Kirsty Young on BBC Radio 4, Michael said that before he received his head injury as a child, stitches and all, he was only interested in bugs and insects.

“At the age of about eight I had a head injury and I know it sounds bizarre and unlikely, but it was quite a bad bang, and I had it stitched up and stuff, but all my interests changed, everything changed in six months,” said Michael.

We knew he was weird, but this is a whole new kettle of fish. Does this mean that if a young boy hadn’t taken a bump on the head, we wouldn’t have had to endure the music of Wham!? Now that’s an interesting though. Perhaps another blow to the head would be enough to get him to go back to his insects.

Any takers?

Michael, who has sold over 85 million records, said that after his blow to the head he became obsessed with music. It was like he became a different person. Maybe that’s what happened to Micahel Jackson.
