George Michael in Olympics Closing Ceremony

Amazon Ad

The Olympic Games closing ceremony on August 12, 2012, will feature Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend alongside Take That, George Michael and Emeli Sande on an all-star bill.

The Mirror article states:

George Michael’s app­­earance will be a glittering return to the stage for the star who last year cut short his European tour after he was diagnosed with life-threatening pneumonia.

He has not sung in public since November.

Organisers said: “George is a global icon and this will be a major comeback. The gig will be a fitting Olympics send-off.”

George Michael’s performance of “White Light” is available on a Symphony of British Music: Music for the Closing Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games (Amazon Ad).

Thanks as always to Shannon who started our first fan club back in 1986 and was instrumental in the early years of the site.

Thanks to George Michael for all the wonderful years of music.  I never truly understood how much of an impact George Michael has had on my life until we almost lost him last year. I’m so very grateful that I can continue this fan site for George Michael for the foreseeable future.
