He wanted to add a date so that the chart would come out while he was on tour like he predicted it was going to happen.
So that’s what happened!
And so there were 180 people, in the entourage and 179 of them said, ‘Yeah, George, we can stay on
another day, let’s do another show. Let’s make this dream come true’.
One guy couldn’t do it. His name was Alan Keyes. I do remember his name well. He had a job that meant he had to leave the Faith tour. And the next day, he started with the Pet Shop Boys. He had been dressing George on the tour. So, they had everybody there so that George could do his last show, but they had no one to dress him. And I was walking past and I heard the conversation while I was going by, and I said, “Oh look mate, I could do that”, he said “What?” I said “I’ve seen this show for the last five months, every night, I could dress George Michael with my eyes closed” and they said “Would you?”, “Of course I would!”, I said. I didn’t get any extra money for it.
But, at the end of the show, you know the ‘Faith’ boots’?
George gave me them!
