George Michael May Cancel Appearance for Black Ball London

George Michael told his Twitter followers that he may not appear at the Black Ball London.  He said:

On the weekend, got some kind of infection in my lower jaw and the left side of my face now resembles a hairy football … I look like Marlon Brando ( I wish….) in the Godfather if they forgot to stuff the right cheek! … Anyway the point is I dont know if it will clear up in time for Wednesdays Black Ball Charity event with Alicia Keys … Which would be terrible, I don’t want to let down the charity, which is excellent, and I would  love to sing with Alicia, shes wonderful….

Wham Rap! Release Key Event in History of Pop Music

The Guardian lists the release of Wham Rap! as number 28 in its series of the 50 key events in the history of pop music:

Teenager George Michael was inspired by Britain’s early 80s recession to write a song about the upside of being on the dole. Contending that unemployment provided free time to immerse oneself in London’s booming club culture, Wham Rap! was rather subversive. It was also one of the first British pop singles to avail itself of the still new hip-hop style, and if Michael’s rhyming skills were the essence of Englishness, they seemed cool at the time.
