George Michael cast in “Eli Stone”<\/a>\u00a0says to tune into the television program “Extra” today.\u00a0 It also quotes George Michael as saying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI said yes the minute I heard. They said they wanted to name each episode after a song of mine. It’s all flattering to the ego, isn’t it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Admitting he wasn\u2019t the show\u2019s first choice, Michael says, \u201cApparently, the studio didn’t think I’d say yes. They wrote it again for, I think, Phil Collins.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only does Michael belt out his tunes, his co-stars sing his songs as well. \u201cI think Loretta Devine sings One More Try\u2026 Victor Garber gets to sing some of them which he says is very nerve wracking,\u201d Michael says.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Eli Stone<\/a> stars Jonny Lee Miller as a lawyer who begins to have hallucinations that lead him to a higher purpose. Episodes from the first season include George Michael songs, with occasional appearances of George Michael in a hallucination or as himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All titles of the first season are George Michael songs, including “Faith,” “Freedom,” “Father Figure,” “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go,” “One More Try,” “Something to Say,” “Heal the Pain,” “Praying for Time,” “I Want Your Sex,” “Heartbeat,” “Patience,” “Waiting for that Day,” and “Soul Free.” Many of the musical numbers also include George Michael songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
