George Michael - Michael Hints At Pop Retirement


Pop superstar GEORGE MICHAEL has fuelled reports he is to quit touring for good once he completes his summer tour dates - he's named the last couple of London concerts The Final Two.

The Fast Love hitmaker is set to take his 25 Live tour to America this month (Jun08), in what will be his first U.S. roadshow in 17 years, before returning to the British capital for two major dates at Earl's Court on 24 and 25 August (08).

And, in a statement from record label executives posted on his website, they warn fans not to miss out on the big concerts.

The post reads: "These very special shows will naturally feature Michael's hits, some tracks not previously performed in Britain, and a stunning new stage set.

"These shows are truly not to be missed by any George Michael fan."

The title of the two gigs is a salute to his last ever Wham! show in London - which was dubbed The Final - in 1986, when the band bowed out from the music industry.

Michael has previously announced the 25 Live tour would be his last arena outing, because he would prefer to play to smaller audiences in the future.

However, online reports now claim the pop star will retire from touring altogether this year (08) - with the exception of one-off shows for charity.
