George Michael announces new single
To celebrate 30 years since the release of his first single, Wham Rap, George Michael’s latest single White Light will hit radiowaves on the exact anniversary of that chart date, June 29.
“Most of my fans realise that I dreamed of a career as a singer/songwriter from an early age, but never in my wildest imaginings could I have known that I would still be here thirty years later, healthy, happy, and feeling that I still have so much more music to give,” Michael said in a post on his official website.
“It is miraculous in so many ways. Fate has been so kind to me, as have the millions of people that that have bought records and come to see me play year after year since 1982.”
He is currently writing and producing a new studio album, scheduled for release in spring.
It will be his first album since his 10 million+ selling No.1 record Patience eight years ago.
Written, arranged and produced by Michael, White Light will be available on Aegean Records through Island/Universal on August 12, 2012.
Tickets are still available through Ticketek for Michael’s upcoming Australian concerts as part of Symphonica: The Orchestral Tour.
