About
The full–and candid–story of one of pop’s finest singer/songwriters. From the concise heartache of “A Different Corner” to “Jesus to a Child”’s devastatingly raw portrait of grief, this collection emphasizes the former Wham! man’s talent for pouring his own life into his lyrics. Written for this compilation, “Outside” may be his boldest triumph, transforming personal headlines into lusty funk fit to accompany “Freedom! 90”, “Faith”, and “I Want Your Sex, Pt. 2” on his honor roll of dance-pop classics.

It was released through Sony Music Entertainment as a condition of severing contractual ties with the label. The tracklisting and number of tracks vary, depending on the country and format.
"Ladies & Gentlemen" was a success, peaking at number one on the UK Albums Chart for 8 weeks. It has spent over 200 weeks in the UK Charts, and is the 38th best-selling album of all time in the UK.
