George Michael News

George said:

Most of my fans realise that I dreamed of a career as a singer/songwriter from an early age, but never in my wildest imaginings could I have known that I would still be here thirty years later, healthy, happy, and feeling that I still have so much more music to give. It is miraculous in so many ways. Fate has been so kind to me, as have the millions of people that that have bought records and come to see me play year after year since 1982.

George’s entire statement is available at the official site.

George tried to keep warm with a big coat and a hot drink between takes.  He was also with Fadi Fawaz on set.

According to the Daily Mail, George appeared to get very emotional and even tearful as the painful memories came flooding back.

As reported previously, George Michael has been working on a new video, possibly for the song “White Light.”  George was shooting the promo in Canary Wharf in London this weekend.  

According to the Sun, a zebra kept interrupting the shoot:

A source said: “The animal had the crew mesmerised as it kept walking into all the lights and cameras.

“It was a little bit spooked by the wind and had to be calmed down.

“George was shooting scenes with actors dressed up as policeman, but even that didn’t divert attention from the animal.”

The Daily Mail is reporting that George Michael was on the set of the video for his upcoming new single, believed to be “White Light.”  A series of photos from the set are available at the above link.
