Here is a fascinating article on “Last Christmas” and its longevity: Could “Last Christmas” Become the New “White Christmas”?
According to Stewart, after the post-WWII boom of classic Christmas songs died down, a new standard emerged every seven or eight years. He cited “Blue Christmas” and “Jingle Bell Rock” as early examples. The Donny Hathaway song “This Christmas” emerged from the ’70s (Mary J. Blige cites it as a favorite), as did John Lennon’s “Happy Xmas (War is Over)”– which Alicia Keys and Tim McGraw performed today on “The Oprah Winfrey Show.”
Stewart said “Last Christmas” is the latest example of the trend — and, despite being 25 years old, perhaps the most recent, as the rock historian had trouble naming a song recorded after 1984 that’s developed the same traction on radio and with other recording artists.

Apparently, George Michael dropped the “f” word during Chris Evans’ show on BBC Radio 2.
At one point the singer, who is a car fanatic, was asked why he has never appeared on Top Gear as the “star in a reasonably-priced car”.
Believing there would be an automatic delay on his words, he replied: “Other than the fact I’d be afraid of coming last in that f****** …”
Evans quickly interrupted to apologise, before informing Michael there was in fact no delay on the show. The DJ said: “George is so relaxed and we do apologise for that – we didn’t mean to offend anyone.”
“I’m sorry everyone,” added Michael.

“Last Christmas”
Filed Under Music | Leave a Comment
I love the weeks before Christmas because I usually have the daily chance of hearing “Last Christmas” on the radio. This is the only time of the year that I hear a George Michael song on the radio.
Here is an article on George Michael overwhelmed by enduring success of Last Christmas
“I wrote it in the February of 1984 when I was 20. Apparently it’s the most played Christmas song of the last five years and that is just amazing,” he told a British radio programme.
“It’s crazy that something I wrote when I was 20 could still be being played. Especially now, at 46 – you think of yourself as a kid at 20. The idea it’s the song which reminds people of their Christmas as a child is great. Such a wonderful thing to achieve and you can experience it every Christmas.”

In an interview with BBC 5 Live, David Furnish (Elton John’s partner) has said he’s concerned for the health, state of mind and general wellbeing of singer George Michael.
When asked about George Michael David Furnish replied: “The difficult thing for Elton and me is a lot of George’s friends keep calling us saying ‘you have to do something, George is in a bad way, he’s in a bad state.’ We’re only reacting to what his close friends say to us. I respect George, I love George, I think he’s a huge talent. I just hope he’s fine, I hope he’s well and his reaction is the press it is what it is. I just hope he’s well and happy and continues to be the great artist he is.
“George has to want to help himself. If he wants help we’re here for him, if he doesn’t want help that’s fine, that’s his choice too, if he doesn’t think he needs help that’s fine too.”
When asked what Micheal’s friends saying about his health, Furnish said: “They’re saying that they’re very concerned. A lot of people are saying it to us, we get it very very regularly, that they are concerned about his health, concerned about his state of mind and his wellbeing and that as Elton has been there and experienced sobriety now for 19 years, that perhaps he’s best positioned to be able to help out. But if George feels he doesn’t need help and his life is in check and balance, then maybe his friends are wrong. I haven’t seen him in such a long time, it’s difficult to judge and pass comment.”
