George Michael is to stage a special concert for Sir Elton John’s Aids foundation. The gig at London’s Royal Opera House will benefit the charity’s newly created Elizabeth Taylor Memorial Fund.
Michael said he “really wanted to honour the inspiring efforts” made by the actress in raising awareness of the disease. The charity show on 6 November is part of the singer’s European Symphonica orchestral tour.
