Eli Stone

 

January 31, 2008

 

George Michael’s contributions to pop culture didn’t end at music. He was also an integral part ABC’s Eli Stone. The first episode was aired on January 2008 and George was prominently featured in this American legal comedy-drama TV series which lasted two seasons. The show’s creators, Greg Berlanti and Marc Guggenheim shared their memories of George.

“George was a singular talent,” Guggenheim told. “He had a gift for music that only comes along once in a generation. It was just a bonus that he happened to be one of the nicest, most genuine people you could meet. Many of my fondest memories of the Eli Stone experience are associated with him. George was such a class act.”

“I’ve only witnessed true genius a few times in my life. One of those was watching George Michael lay down Feeling Good for Eli Stone,” Berlanti declared. “He was an incredible talent and even more a sweet, kind man to all lucky enough to work with or spend time around him.”

After the huge success of the autumn leg of the 25LIVE Tour, new shows were added for summer 2007, in large arenas and stadiums. In June 2007 George Michael became the first singer ever to perform at the new Wembley Stadium, nearly seven years after the last concert at the London venue. He played two sold-out concerts in a row.

 

A venue “full of heroes”

At the end of the first leg of his 25LIVE Tour George paid tribute to Britain’s NHS nurses with a free concert at the Roundhouse, north London. The event was prompted by the care they gave his mother Lesley, who died of cancer in 1997. “I salute you,” George told the crowd. “This evening is 100% me saying ‘thank you’ to you.”
