English musicians and music geeks extraordinaire Steven Wilson and Tim Bowness have posted a new episode of their podcast The Album Years. They talk about 1987, discussing albums by Prince, Dead Can Dance, George Michael, Depeche Mode, and a whole lot more. This is part #1A, the first episode about this year.
Watch perform George Michael & Elton John perform Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me, recorded live @ Wembley Arena in London on 25 March 1991. It was released as a single and reached No. 1 in both the UK and US.
Geroge Michael is dead at 53. As the singing half of pop band Wham! he made a the worst Christmas song ever, but as a solo artist he reinvented himself as an advocate for gay rights, releasing a string of rather good solo records and he became the sole singer who could almost fill Freddy Mercury's shoes when he delivered a stunning rendition of Queen's Somebody To Love at Wembley on April 20, 1992.
