When George first announced his 25 Live Tour in 2007 tickets, were snapped up in minutes. The critically acclaimed tour saw George perform in front of over 2 million people worldwide with a 49 date 25 Live Arena Tour and a 30 date 25 Live Stadium Tour. In summer 2008, George took his 25 Live Tour to arenas across North America touring North America for the first time in 20 years. In London alone, 350,000 people collectively watched him performing in Earls Court, Wembley Arena, The Roundhouse and the newly renovated Wembley Stadium, where he made musical history as the first artist to perform at the momentous venue in June 2007. George Michael has enjoyed one of the most successful and enduring careers in the history of pop music, selling more than 100 million records globally and encompassing six US No. 1 singles, a Grammy award, three American Music Awards, an MTV Video Music Award and two prestigious Ivor Novello awards for songwriting. His record "Faith" has sold over 20 million copies alone. In addition, Michael has garnered 11 British No. 1 singles and eight British No. 1 albums. He recently was declared the most played British artist on radio over the course of the last 20 years. His exceptional performances in the UK, Europe and North America received unprecedented praise from both critics and fans across the globe. "George proved he is simply one of the best vocalists this country has ever produced." — The Sun "King George still reigns supreme" — Mail on Sunday "A masterclass in pop genius" — The Observer "A tremendous singer, a complete showman. All George Michael needs is a mic, his songs, and the magic on stage is instaneous" — La Parisien "As he closed with the still stirring 'Freedom,' his hands raised high, testifying like an evangelist for self-determination. Then he was on his knees, giving the 'I'm not worthy' bow several times towards his fans. His crowds roared back, still dancing to the music, suggesting that maybe he was." — Rolling Stone It was in 2006 that George broke the all-time record for both tickets sales and gross income at the Parken stadium in Copenhagen, a record that was formerly held by international rock group U2.

Australian promoter Paul Dainty said "It is thrilling to bring George Michael to Australia again, he last toured here on the Faith tour in 1988. He is a consummate performer and will deliver a stunning show to his fans who have waited 22 years to see him perform in Australia."

George will perform material taken from the entire span of his career, including classic Wham! tracks.

А вот еще информация. В это время ежегодно в Сиднее проходит Mardi Gras - знаменитый парад геев и лесби, тесно связанный с традицией зимних карнавалов перед наступлением Великого Поста. Вот тут все очень хорошо описано (what is it ): http://www.calend.ru/holidays/0/0/943/20/





После анонса концертов в Австралии в это время сразу пошли домыслы, а не связано ли... там была крупная партия его фэнов - участников парада (Choose Life ), которые готовились к этому мероприятию со всей серьезностью:



...
Former Destiny's Child singer Kelly Rowland and George Michael, who had a marching group of 150 lookalikes dedicated to him, were believed to be in the crowd.

GEORGE Michael has shown some true old-style charm on his visit to Sydney and will extend his stay in our fair city because he's having such a good time - especially at the Mardi Gras, where he hung out with regular punters instead of VIPs.
