'Superstar' on ABC explores the life and legacy of legendary pop star George Michael.

"I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for George. I just wouldn't," Grammy winner Sam Smith says in the episode. "All the queer artists I know now ... all of us, we would not be here, if it wasn't for George. ... He pushed down the gates and he took the heat for everyone."
