GEORGE MICHAEL ANNOUNCES FIRST NORTH
AMERICAN TOUR IN 17 YEARS, A NEW ALBUM AND
MAKES AMERICAN ACTING DEBUT

New York, NY (March 24, 2008) — 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 be bringing his smash 25 LIVE tour to North American Arenas in the summer of 2008 in support of his new retrospective record. This will be Michael's first North American tour in 17 years. The new record, titled Twenty-Five, will be released April 1st and is a 29-song, 2-CD set featuring several new songs (including duets with superstars Paul McCartney and Mary J. Blige and a song from the hit TV series, Eli Stone) in addition to many of Michael's iconic songs from both his solo and WHAM! career. In addition, a companion 2-disc DVD of 40 videos will also be made available.

The 25 LIVE tour broke several ticket sales records, most notably in Copenhagen. Michael's concert at The Parken Stadium sold over 50,000 tickets in the matter of minutes, shattering the previous ticket sales record at the venue, formerly held by U2. On the 25 LIVE tour, Michael left both fans and critics alike in awe:

"It was a masterclass in pop genius" — The Observer

"A unique show. The setlist: a journey through time and styles… He moves in his own groovy way and has that golden voice so few artists possess. He impressed with a show worthy of his position as a superstar." — La Derniere Heure

"He was King George for a night. King of Parken… Simply the best voice… He performed to a record-breaking audience of 50,000" — BT

"George proved he is simply one of the best vocalists this country has ever produced… A stunning performance." — The Sun

"A tremendous singer, a complete showman, all George Michael needs is a mike, his songs, and the magic on stage is instantaneous" — La Parisien

"Worth waiting for… the show was, in every single meaning of the word, perfect…" — De Morgen

"Highly entertaining… superb vocal performance… astonishing high-tech spectacle of the stage, which glowed and projected images like a cast magic carpet" — Financial Times

"One of the most important artists of contemporary music history" — Metro

"…A simple, beautiful 'Jesus To A Child' and a rapturously received 'I'm Your Man' — you realised that you were in the company of the best soul singer this country has produced in the past three decades" — The Times

"He stays our man… concentrated and with a powerful voice, on a par with Elvis Presley" — Welt Kompakt

"25 years of hits in a nutshell… he proved to be one of the best singers of his generation who easily controls soul, funk, rhythm & blues, but also he's one of the best songwriters." — Het Nieuwsblad/Het Volk

"I'm still your man… George proves it with a brave and gifted performance." — Evening Standard

The North American leg of the 25 LIVE tour will kick off in San Diego on June 17th and will continue through San Jose, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Seattle, Vancouver, Minneapolis, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, New York and several other major cities. The tour will incorporate 22 shows over the course of seven weeks and Michael will perform material taken from the entire span of his career, including some classic Wham! tracks. Michael has recently teamed up with iTunes and Ticketmaster to produce an innovative media package which allows fans rare access to Michael's videos, songs, and tickets to one of his North American 25 LIVE concerts. The package goes on sale on iTunes on March 25th. Tickets to the 25 LIVE tour will go on sale to the general public the weekend of April 6th.

George Michael has enjoyed one of the most successful and enduring careers in the history of pop music, selling more than 85 million records globally and encompassing seven US No. 1 singles, two Grammy awards, 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 seven British No. 1 albums. He recently was declared the most played British artist on radio over the course of the last 20 years. On March 27th, Michael can be seen making his American acting debut on the new hit ABC series, Eli Stone, in which each episode is titled after one of his songs.
