Release of “Outside”, the first single from the greatest hits collection Ladies & Gentlemen: The Best of George Michael. It reaches #2 on the UK charts. This song, which Michael wrote after his arrest for cruising in an L.A. park, cheekily celebrated al fresco action, accompanied by a controversial video! He talked about his goal for the video: “When I made the ‘Outside’ video I knew I was helping a whole generation of 15-year-olds who are cruising and dying of shame about it.”
