Legends, half-truths, and downright lies abound about the iconic singer, but what secrets do people not know about him? What was it like to live with him through the darkest shadows and in the brightest of lights?

George and Nancy married March 4, 1983, and with her help and encouragement, he quit his wild and wicked waysfor a while.
