George Michael Symphonica UK Tour Dates To Be Postponed Nov 25
It’s with great sadness that GeorgeMichael.com must announce the postponement of the remaining dates on the Symphonica tour due to George’s on-going battle with pneumonia.
While George is receiving excellent medical care and is responding to treatment and slowly improving, to ensure his complete well-being, George’s doctors have advised that he cannot perform the rest of his Symphonica tour and that he instead takes a full and complete rest.
Prof. Dr. Christoph Zielinski, Chairman, Department of Medicine General Hospital - Medical University Vienna, Austria and Prof. Dr. Thomas Staudinger, Specialist in Internal Medicine and Intensive Care Medicine have stated the following:
"George Michael has severe community acquired pneumonia and is being treated as an inpatient. His condition has stabilized and he is responding to treatment. From the current point of view, the time until recovery cannot be estimated, but he will not be able to perform the rest of the tour. Besides medical treatment, complete rest and peace and quiet are mandatory." As a result, all of the UK dates of the Symphonica European tour will be postponed. George was very much looking forward to bringing his tour back home and performing for his loyal and dedicated UK fan base.
Discussions and preparations are currently under way in order to arrange the rescheduled dates and further announcements will be made at the earliest opportunity. In the meantime, tickets holders are asked to retain their tickets.
For so long
There’s been no-one else I care about
That my heart could really be so wrong again
But it will
I had a picture in my soul
Some place warm where we could hang out when we’re old
Now it’s just – where I hope you are
These days, in so many, so many ways
My life gets bad for you
But your face when you look at me, look at me that way
Tears me in two
I had a picture, it’s not your fault
But the chair in the room where I get old
Now it’s just – where I hope you are
Oh, but there was a time
All I had to do was look at you
The world was mine
I’m telling you the world was mine
I’m so sorry
It’s like all of those deleted scenes you told me about
I’d pick them from the floor
Say, “Darlin’ show them all once more. For me.”
A child’s fears
For so many, so many years
The good life that??
But there’s no-one at the end of that smoking gun
Can’t you see your Mum and Dad just one more day
But it can happen, I’ve been told
Sometimes, babe, drunken? angels stumble home
Now it’s just where I hope you are
Oh, but there was a time
All I had to do was look at you
The world was mine
I’m telling you the world was mine
I’m so sorry
It’s like all of those deleted scenes you told me about
I’d pick them from the floor
Say, “Darlin’ show them all once more, for me.
For me.
For me.
For me.
For me”
from Monsters & Critics George Michael has revealed that entering drugs counselling has helped him lose more than a stone.
The 48-year-old singer served time in jail after crashing his car into the front of Snappy Snaps photo shop last year whilst under the influence of drugs. He said that after ten months of therapy he finally fits back in his clothes.
The Sun reported that at the opening show of his European tour in Prague he told fans, 'I've been in counselling for substance abuse for nearly ten months, and part of the advantage of that is I've dropped about 14 or 15lbs. All my old clothes fit me.
'I wouldn't say I'm looking in the mirror but it's definitely one of the advantages of being cleaner.'
Talking about his four-week jail spell, he added, 'I felt I had a bill to pay and I thought that prison was a logical conclusion to a very dark chapter.
'I wouldn't say it was a good experience, but it was a logical experience.
'Of course within a week, because there was barely anything else to do in there, I was back hooked on the nicotine.
'Now I'm trying not to smoke cigarettes - what I've found is tweeting gives me something to do.'
