George Michael
New Earls Court Date added
George Michael tickets are on sale now. After much anticipation, Ticketline are pleased to formally announce the news music fans around the globe have anxiously been waiting to hear - George Michael is returning to the stage in 2011 with Symphonica: The Orchestral Tour!
Symphonica will see George Michael hit over 15 countries across Europe from August through December 2011. Some of the amazing venues already lined up include the O2 Arena in Berlin, Piazza Santa Croce in Florence, Palau San Jordi in Barcelona, London's legendary Royal Albert Hall, and many, many more!
He will perform not only a carefully chosen selection of his songs, spanning all his remarkable, near 30-year career, but he will cover some of his favourite songs from other artists. The music will be re-worked and re-arranged for the orchestra which will accompany George at each location.
This new classical setting will give each song added layers and new nuances. It's unmistakeably George Michael, but not as we've ever known him.
During a press conference to announce his 47-date tour of the world, he revealed that he will strip for fans, saying: 'Having lost 15lb, I'm thinking of doing it naked just to show off my youthful physique.'
George also said 'The idea of singing with symphonic orchestras around the world is because I heard Tony Bennett had done it recently, and I thought, 'What a nice idea.' The idea of singing with this kind of backing has been very attractive to me for a long time.' He also plans to include covers of artists who have influenced him.
