Man, 23, set to face court after being filmed painting over a mural of gay icon George Michael in Sydney’s inner-west while telling outraged onlookers he was “defending his religion”.

A man filmed painting over a George Michael mural in Sydney‘s inner-west yesterday has been issued with a court attendance notice.

The artwork, on the side of a terrace in Erskinville, was painted just weeks after the singer’s death on Christmas Day last year.
