KEY POINTS:
Singer George Michael is considering making a £50 million ($136 million) offer for a diamond-encrusted skull. The singer and his partner Kenny Goss were given a private viewing of the work by artist Damien Hirst last week. Covered in 8601 diamonds, the work - entitled For the Love Of God - is the world's most expensive piece of contemporary art.
The former Wham! star is a fan and collector of Hirst's work.
