George Michael exhausts his patience with fame: How much money is enough? The singer George Michael thinks that he has reached the magic figure, whatever it is.
The reclusive 40-year-old star has announced that his new album, Patience, his first album of original songs for eight years, will be the last he makes for sale through record shops, because he doesn't need the cash and is sick of the pressures of staying famous.
Any future songs he writes and records will be shared with everyone free on the internet. Fans will be invited to make an online donation, which he will pass on to charity.
