George Michael’s Symphonica tour will be moving on to Australia in 2012. The dates are as follows:
From the official site:
With great regret, George Michael has been forced to postpone his November 21 concert at the Stadthalle, Vienna.
A doctor visited George this afternoon and confirmed he is suffering from a chest infection, and on medical advice he has been advised that he cannot perform tonight to allow him time to recover before his next concert at the Zenith, Strasbourg, on Wednesday, November 23.
A spokesman for George Michael said that “he is disappointed that he cannot perform tonight’s concert, but he has been advised to rest, and is very sorry that he has had to postpone”.
The promoters have asked ticket holders for tonight’s concert to retain their tickets. Further announcements regarding a replacement date will follow.
All other dates on Symphonica – The Orchestral Tour will not be affected.
The tour commenced in late August. George has performed 45 shows to date as part of his Symphonica – The Orchestral Tour.
George Michael’s Twitter rant about the EastEnders gay story line has received a response from the BBC:
“EastEnders reflects a wide range of issues. All soap characters face their own trials and tribulations in order to create drama, however EastEnders viewers will know that this is a story about Phil Mitchell who while struggling with his own relationship with his son, will do anything to protect him.”
George Michael’s performance on Sunday raised a total of £987,000 for the Elizabeth Taylor Memorial Fund, his publicist said. For more information, please see:

Those of you who are regulars around here know that I had to quickly redesign the Yours Only George web site. As a result, there are still some issues that I have not fixed. There are minor, known issues in the old news section (News Flash). If you have any problems or notice any issues with the redesigned site, please post them here so that I can fix them.

I haven’t been able to update the news recently because of the unexpected site redesign. A few good sources for tour information are:
Here are some of the recent George Michael concert reviews:
A new television program is looking for George Michael memorabilia:

George Michael is currently #4 on Yahoo!’s Trending List.
I just learned that my web host is discontinuing FrontPage extensions in mid-September, and most of this site, excluding the news blog, was developed in FrontPage. Without FrontPage extensions, the site loses the header, menu, footer, and probably the fonts and background. I had plans to redesign the site, but I’m not sure I can completely redesign the site by September.
When the web host shuts off the FrontPage extension, I will upload everything I have completed at that point. Although I had hoped to clean up all the old code when I redesigned the site, I don’t think that will be possible with such a short deadline. The site will be functional but may not be completely redesigned until next year.
