Symphonica was produced by George Michael and Phil Ramone, who died in March. Ramone died of a brain aneurysm in March 2013, so this will mark the last of his work to be released.

George Michael recorded the album during the 2011-2012 Symphonica tour that was interrupted when he contracted life-threatening pneumonia.

The official George Michael site has added another clue to George Michael’s future activities.

Previously, George Michael posted a video on Youtube for Christmas. Now the official site has the message “March 2014,” along with the video clip of George Michael singing “You’ve Changed.”

It appears that we’re going to continue to get bits and pieces of the story.

George Michael has posted a video on Youtube for Christmas.

The video shows a photo of George Michael on stage, with the message:

HAPPY CHRISTMAS
LOVE GEORGE x

It then has the closed red curtain, previously seen on his official site, while George sings “You’ve Changed.”

Happy Christmas, George!

George Michael is not retiring, according to a representative.

As reported previously, George Michael’s site currently has a closed red curtain, with a note about exciting news in 2014.  This graphic caused a stir because some thought he was retiring.

The official George Michael site boasts “Exciting News Coming in 2014” and nothing else. Apparently, all other files have been deleted from the site.

Some media outlets are reporting that the only graphic on the page, a closed red curtain, alludes to George Michael’s retirement. However, I like to look at it as a closed curtain that is about to reopen with a new stage, new features, new songs, and new videos. Here’s hoping that I’m correct in this line of thinking.
