What a dream-come-true.#Audiobook out today! I've been a huge #GeorgeMichael fan since his #Wham days,bopping along to his music as a teen w/my first GF. Huge love & thanks to @JamesGavinBooks & everyone @Tantor. Thank you for all the fun and sexy music, GM! #love #LGBTQ #faith

This week I finish narrating the amazing & thorough George Michael: A Life from @TantorAudio -already getting huge press. I can't believe the wonderful turns & twists my life has taken that leads to me getting paid to narrate something that brings me so much joy.

[Paul Bellantoni @PaulJBellantoni]

I am just pinching myself from disbelief and joy. One of my two favorite male pop singers growing up was George Michael. Loved him since I was a kid, in the days of Wham!, saw him in concert several times, followed his entire career, have hundreds of his songs...

@PaulJBellantoni @TantorAudio Paul, this tweet is music to my eyes!

@PaulJBellantoni @tantor @TantorAudio @GeorgeMOfficial I'm so glad it was you, Paul, and not me - I would never have lived to the end of it :) Bravo to you on an outstanding performance.
