"George Michael
has put aside his hatred of touring to launch his biggest world trek ever.
The former Wham! star had vowed never to take to the road again after admitting:
"I love to sing but I hate being on the tour. Being George Michael off
stage for the rest of the day is a nightmare. I'd be happy not to do it
ever again". But following the enormous success of his comeback album Older
- which has sold 1.6 million copies in the UK - George has been forced
to give in to worldwide demand and play live again. He last did a full
tour six years ago. I can reveal the 34-year-old singer will set off on
his travels early next year, taking in AMERICA, the FAR EAST and EUROPE.
He is likely to choose the Royal Albert Hall or Wembley Arena as the venue
for his London shows and may even consider a summer stadium performance.
His manager Andy Stevens is determined to make the trips as comfortable
and stress-free as possible. There will be no media circus whenever the
tour hits a new country and George will be allowed to return to his homes
in Britain and America whenever possible. The tour will coincide with the
launch of George's greatest hits album. It will be released as part of
his settlement with former record company Sony and feature some new tracks. |

My insider says:
"George wants the shows to be simple but stunning. There won't be too much
in the way of U2-style dramatics but the fans won't be disappointed." "George
is insisting on the very best musicians and singers and he want to get
as many other stars involved as possible, performing duets in different
cities. His friend Elton John will certainly be among them." "George has
always enjoyed the performing but loathes all the waiting around and travelling
that goes with a tour. Every effort is going to be made to keep him happy
and comfortable." George performed two small live shows last year for MTV
and Radio 1, and my source adds: "They really got him thinking about touring
again. He has complete freedom with his new record company and was under
no pressure to hit the road again. But he has missed performing, and now
that his manager has assured him the tour will be as stress-free as possible
he's actually quite excited. George will oversee every detail of the show.
"He has a very clear idea of how he wants it to look. It will be very cool
and stylish." George will play some Wham! hits but is planning updated
versions for the concerts." |
