The Daily Express has a new interview with George Michael. Here is a quick recap of what George Michael said.
“White Light”
… as the chorus suggests it wasn’t my time to see that light, so thank goodness for that. What’s strange, though, is that so many people were expecting me to write a ballad about the whole experience. But I thought, how morbid would that be? I wanted the song to be a complete celebration of my surviving it.
Pneumonia
The doctors told me that I’d had untreated pneumonia for like three or four weeks and I’d been singing and doing five shows a week as my lungs slowly filled up with fluid. But strangely enough during all that time I’d actually felt fine.
Audience
My audiences are amazing. I can sort of feel their love and gratitude when I’m on stage. On this particular tour I was pretty impressed that they were so patient with the fact that often I was singing numbers they’d probably never heard of, rather than just my own songs.
It’s lovely for me to read all the messages that people post because they’re generally very positive.
