George Michael Covers "True Faith"

Comic Relief founder Richard Curtis is thrilled with George Michael'scontribution to the charity, revealing that he has been very generous with his cash and time in recent years.

"Over the years, George has been the most tremendous supporter of Comic Relief. Out of the blue one year he gave us all the cash from the release of As, his single with Mary J Blige. Then he did a brilliant Little Britain sketch".

"But, most excitingly, he's giving Comic Relief all the money from his new single, True Faith. It's always so moving when people stick with us year after year - and we're thrilled and delighted about the song, and the wonderful video that goes with it."

"We promise we'll use every penny we make from it to save and change lives in Africa and all over the UK." Richard Curtis, Vice Chair, Comic Relief

The video will premiere at on March 19th at the end of Comic Relief's annual Red Nose Day telethon.

 Here's the original version of "True Faith", sung by New Order in 1987.

George Michael - Live in London DVD


George Michael is to release 'Live in London' a special 23 song full concert DVD on December 7th through Epic Records/Sony Music Entertainment. This is the first live DVD of George`s career. Recorded and filmed at The Final Two concerts in London`s Earls Court arena on August 24th and 25th these highly anticipated shows marked the end of George Michael`s triumphant 25 Live Tour and were the last chance to catch George performing on a stage of this magnitude.

'Live in London' will be available worldwide in two formats, double disc DVD and a single Blu-ray disc.

When George first announced his 25 Live Tour 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 Michael 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 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
