George Michael Planning Live DVD/CD Release

A GM stocking stuffer for Xmas? File Photo

George Michael finished 2 sold out shows at Madison Square Garden this week and did an interview with Good Morning America and unbeknowst  to him, a mini-interview with hopefully our new correspondant from New York City who I call G.E.D. and the “E” stands for everywhere cuz that is where he seems to be.

In the GMA interview, he talked about how music saved his life thru his battle with depression and commented about the awkward time in his late 20’s: “It was a terribly depressing time. I had my very first relationship at 27 because I really had not actually come to terms with my sexuality until I was 24.”

“I lost my partner to HIV then it took about three years to grieve, then after that I lost my mother. I felt almost like I was cursed.

“The only thing that got me through it was my music. It survived. I wrote very, very little, but the little I wrote did well and kept my head above water. It was depression and shock which just went on for years.”

“As the 24 or 25-year-old that could not believe how quickly all of his dreams had come true, could not believe how blessed he’d been, and then just this absolute nightmare. You have to believe that there’s some reason it happened in that order. I was supposed to learn those things a bit earlier than other people so I could put it in to work.”

Deep ish if you ask me.  Let’s get to the positive stuff.

George spoke with G.E.D. impromptu and off the cuff and his only request was no photos.  He came off as a total gentleman and shared how great the tour has been and it is def his last in the U.S.  We are sad to hear that but understand.

George told G.E.D. that he is planning to release a CD/DVD package of the North American Tour with all the songs played over here and the songs he will do overseas later this year that he did not do on the American tour, will be on the DVD & CD which he hopes to have in stores in December. YES!

This tour was awesome and aside from a certain someones Coachella DVD..cough cough…(Prince) cough cough (please release the Coachella DVD) cough cough….scuse me…had something in my throat, this DVD would be something I would be looking forward to.

Now, this came straight from George’s mouth and we hope it does get released by the time he expects it to be, but we understand, but remain hopeful. The date we saw in L.A. was off the chain and I am sure Dr. Phil, Scary Spice aka Mel B., Victoria Beckham, Bo Derek, and others can agree to.

The celebs seen at the MSG show in NY were Neil Patrick Harris, Alan Cumming, as well as Kenny Goss and George’s father.-Dr.FB

Thanks to the contribution of G.E.D.
