Before George Michael embarks on his first tour of North America in 17 years he will be back on our TV tonight on ABC’s Eli Stone at 10p. In the premiere episode of the show, Eli Stone’s first visions were of George Michael, so that is why he is wondering if George Michael is really real when he actually meets him.
I can’t wait to see the “real” George Michael on tonight’s episode of Eli Stone at 10p on ABC. It looks freaking hysterical!
BTW on a George Michael note his 2-disc CD TwentyFive is out on Tuesday (my birthday) which is a greatest hits with some never-before-released duets with the likes of Paul McCartney and 6 new songs. Tickets for his North American tour go on sale on April 6th and I will be online trying to get tickets to see him sing some of my favorite songs live!!!
George Micheal announced today that he going to tour 22 cities in North America for the first time 17 years. George Michael is also releasing his album next Tuesday (my birthday) TwentyFive. (Here is a Careless Whisper to my friends reading this I want George Michael or Duran Duran tix) But back to George, I have Faith this is going to be a great show! I am so excited for this show! To find out if he is coming to a city near you, check out George Michael's website!
BTW George Michael will be on Eli Stone this Thursday at 10p on ABC, so make sure to check him out!
George Michael was fined £130,000 for going an unluckly 13 minutes over his time at Wembley show on June 9th according to NME. Wembley charges bands £10,000 a minute they go over their agreed end time of the show. No word if he will pay the fine, but if he does I respect him for putting his fans before his wallet.
When I lived in Atlanta I ushered concerts at an outdoor venue in a residential area and if a concert went past their end time they too were fined. On average most bands made sure they were out on time, but John Mellencamp would pay the fine before the show and say I am going over so here is your money! And I am so glad he did because his shows were always amazing, so if you get a chance to see him live do it! Respect the artists who respect their fans!!!
George Michael was sentenced to 100 community service for driving while unfit through drugs according to AFP. He also will not be able to drive for 2 years, but he can afford chauffeur and he has a fiancee. George Michael told the reporters outside the courtroom, "I have been sentenced today on the basis of unfit driving through tiredness and prescription medicines, which I fully accept responsiblity for. I am glad to put this behind me and now I am off to do the biggest show of my life." I am glad after sentencing he made sure to mention his big concert at Wembley Stadium this Saturday. But Michael was much different when he spoke to the Judge, "I did something very stupid and I am very ashamed since doing it. I really have been very distressed by this whole thing. I am perfectly aware that I did something very wrong and got into my car when I was unfit to drive." I hope the paparazzi films him doing community service like they did when Boy George did it here in the States. How fun would that be to see him do that.
BTW note to Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan if you are going to drive drunk or do drugs do it London because you don't get jail time for it like you do here. Well sort of.
