George Michael Launches US Summer Tour
Fans have waited a very very long time for British pop superstar George Michael to return to the US and tour. After 17 years, the former Wham! frontman will hit the arenas for 22 dates in Canada and the US starting in June.
The 22-date arena tour will run through August 3. While his international appeal remains strong, Michael’s popularity in the US has weakened over the past decade, although his last album, 2004’s Patience, peaked at no.12 thanks to an appearance on the Oprah Winfrey Show.
Michael, 44, rose to fame in the early 1980s as one half of the singing sensation Wham! and later released his solo debut album, 1987’s Faith, which sold an excess of 10 million copies in the US. Hit singles on that album included “Father Figure”, “I Want Your Sex” and the title track, “Faith”.
Michael has an album to promote, due out in April called “Twenty Five.” You may have also seen him recently on the premiere episode of the show “Eli Stone” on ABC.
