George Michael News from July 2006

July 27, 2006
George Michael to Sue

According to the BBC, George Michael says he is to take legal action against a man who claimed he had a gay encounter with the pop star.

George Michael told BBC News 24: "I'm suing the individual involved who I have never, ever seen, let alone wanted to have any kind of sexual encounter with, and I'm currently investigating suing the secondary sources of libel."

He said those sources had added to "Rupert Murdoch's story" by saying his partner Kenny Goss had called off their civil partnership ceremony but when he had received £1 million he had reconsidered having the event.

"These are things that are not really acceptable," Michael said.
