George Michael has opened up on how he would like to be remembered.

The singer has had an illustrious career so far and he told Q that he primarily wants to be remembered for his music.

However, 51-year-old George added that he would also like to be known as a "good friend".

He said: "I’ve probably given the media quite a lot of fodder over the years, most of which has been quite well-documented with the odd headline here and there. 

"However, while I’ve been doing all of that, I have made the odd record or two - and I guess that’s why people always keep a place for me in their heart. I always write my songs to touch people or strike a chord, and I guess people really get that.     

"So all in all, I’d say for my music and hopefully being a really good friend to people and hopefully being a really caring, good and reliable person."
