George Michael symphony tour dates

George Michael has announced his next tour will be with an orchestra. 'Symphonica: The Orchestral Tour' will start in Prague in August.

Michael will take the tour through 15 countries and perform songs spanning his 30-year career as well as a few covers.

"The music will be re-worked and re-arranged for the orchestra which will accompany George at each location. This new classical setting will give each song added layers and new nuances. It's unmistakeably George Michael, but not as we've ever known him," a statement at his website reads.

George's last two releases were both covers. He recorded Stevie Wonder's 'You And I' as a gift for the Royal Wedding and then last month released his version of New Order's 'True Faith' to support Comic Relief.
