George wrote a song for Elton that was supposed to appear on George’s album called Trojan souls. He never finished that album because he was in a dispute with Sony and he didn’t want to give them anything. He shelled that album but there’s a part of me that wishes it would’ve been released because he also had a duet with Janet Jackson on that album. We’ll never know the beautiful music that was on it but no doubt since it was his album it was beyond brilliant. George did background vocals for Elton’s hit Nikita. It would’ve been great for them to collaborate on another song together. In my opinion George’s voice is like no others. And the fact that this man could sing in any style of music and sound absolutely beautiful was such a gift. Check out his other duets. He did one with Ray Charles, Tony Bennett, Toby Burke, Aretha Franklin, Queen, Muyta Buena, and Astrid Gilberto which was sung in Portuguese.

One of Eltons' greatest songs. George Michael had one of the best voices in music, his voice "live" is better than most singers do in a studio. Both of these are also very generous men who both gave millions to charities. You should check out George singing "Somebody To Love" with Queen at the Freddie tribute concert

Many years ago I was sitting in the VIP area at a Billy Idol gig at Wembley Arena (it's a long story) and was sitting next to George and Elton! They were two of the nicest guys I've ever met (and, yes, I've met the lovely Dave Grohl). They were great friends but they included me, just a nobody, in their conversation - they had no massive rock star egos. Despite not being a Billy idol fan, it was one of the best nights of my life. RIP George.

You are wrong here Then in this tour of george michael called cover to cover tour. Elton john was the one who had problems with drugs. It was a tough time for him George michael after a long and several times, finally he convinced Elton to be part of it. And by the way it's well documented. I've seen an old report talking about the huge success of this duets And among the people who talked about it, was sting, and how happy he was, to see elton coming back and the support he's got from george. George michael drugs problem came a long after that when his partner died, and then suddenly his mother got concert and died too Then it begun the toughest period of george.he was escaping these harsh realities, 1st when he finally found a lover suddenly he was taking from him very quickly, and the song jesus to a child talking about it, then the second bad news fell, that his beloved mom got skin concert. And how elton tried to be supportive with george but he failed.

Growing up I listened to all kinds of music but my favorite artists are like these two men. I grew up listening to great artists like Elvis Presley, Beatles/John Lennon, Frankie Valley and The Four Seasons, Diana Ross, Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, Cyndi Lauper, Bruce Springsteen, Sir Elton John, and George Michael, with so many others. George Michael may have died but his music definitely will live on.
