Earlier this year it was rumoured the star was preparing to go on tour again and had made enquiries with various insurance companies about the “logistics” of getting back on the road.

George last appeared on stage in 2012 and he’s shifted more than 100 million records worldwide throughout his career. Despite this, insiders believed there was a chance the singer would find it difficult to get backer because he’s battled with addiction and became seriously ill with pneumonia in Vienna, Austria, in 2011.
