Timeline
Jeffery Deon Estus (July 4, 1956 – October 11, 2021) was an American musician and singer, best known as the bass player of Wham! and as the bassist on George Michael's first two solo projects.
Estus was born in Detroit on July 4, 1956.
He went to Northwestern High School.
There, he sang second tenor in the choir under the direction of Brazel Dennard.
His bass guitar teacher was James Jamerson of Motown's the Funk Brothers.
Estus joined the R&B band Brainstorm as a teenager, recording two albums with them and scoring a hit with "Popcorn".
During the early 1980s, he moved to Europe to join and tour with Marvin Gaye.
He lived in Belgium and Ireland, before settling in London.
Divorced in the mid-1980s, he remained single, until his death.
Estus died on October 11, 2021, at the age of 65.
He turned down the chance to play bass on Marvin Gaye's 1982 comeback album, Midnight Love, because he was so busy recording and he said that he was not aware that it would be the last album released during Gaye's lifetime.
After his bass talents were recognized, he was invited to join the UK pop group, Wham!.
He went on to tour China with Wham!
Released before the album, the single "Me or the Rumours" reached No. 15 on Billboard's Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in 1988.
Estus' single "Heaven Help Me", with additional vocals by Michael, reached No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1989.
In 1989, Estus released a solo album entitled Spell, produced by Colin Campsie and George McFarlane, with several tracks produced by Michael.
In 1989, the album's title track hit No. 11 on the Adult Contemporary chart.
However, the album's biggest hit was the No. 5 Billboard Hot 100 single "Heaven Help Me", for which Michael supplied backing vocals.
It also peaked at No. 3 on both the Adult Contemporary and Hot R&B charts.
The album itself ultimately reached No. 89 on the Billboard 200 and No. 44 on the Top R&B Albums chart.
In recent years, Estus was the featured bass player for the R&B band, Switch.
Estus was married, in his twenties, to Olga Johnson.
This union produced one daughter.
Estus also had three grandchildren.
Estus later performed with Michael at Rock in Rio and continued to play bass as part of his backing band until Michael's death in 2016.
