GEORGE MICHAEL
After performing 80 shows in 12 European countries for a staggering 1.3 million fans over the past year alone, legendary superstar George Michael will bring his smash 25 Live tour to North American arenas this summer in support of the release of his new retrospective album Twenty-Five. The trek will include a June 25th Los Angeles stop at The Forum and a June 27th Honda Center show. Tickets for both nights are on sale now.
Michael will perform material taken from the entire span of his stellar career, including some classic Wham! tracks. The European leg of the 25 Live tour broke several ticket sales records, most notably in Copenhagen. Michael’s performance there sold over 50,000 tickets in just a matter of minutes, shattering the previous mark held at the venue, formerly held by U2.
Twenty-Five will be released tomorrow (April 1st) and is a 29-song, 2-CD set featuring several new songs (including duets with superstars Paul McCartney and Mary J. Blige) in addition to many of Michael’s iconic songs from both is solo and Wham! career. In addition, a companion 2-disc DVD of 40 videos will also be available.
