George Michael’s estate sues the singer’s former best friend, alleging unauthorized release of previously unheard material and unseen video footage. The dispute centers on a new film described as “Trojan Souls – The Greatest Album That Was Never Made,” which aims to present material connected to Michael’s unreleased work. According to the reporting, the individual involved is portrayed as having been close to Michael during his career. The suit is brought by the estate after Michael’s death in 2016, when he was 53 years old, on Christmas Day. While the estate claims the releases are not authorized, the coverage also frames the project as a film release tied to an alleged “secret album” and additional unseen footage of the Wham! star. The details provided across the accounts focus on the filing itself and the nature of the content—an unreleased album and unpublished visual material—rather than on the broader legal arguments or a court outcome. The reporting does not establish yet whether any material is proven to be legitimate, nor whether the film or releases will be halted.
