Elton John has once again paid tribute to his close friend, the late George Michael, during a recent radio show appearance. The tribute came on Elton’s own Beats 1 Radio show The Rocket Hour radio show earlier this week and found John praising Michael not only as a person but also as an artist. “I wanted to do a little tribute to him on the show because not only was he a good friend, but he was probably one of the most brilliant songwriters this country’s ever produced, and certainly one of the best vocalists ever,” he said. “One of the best in the world.” He continued: “It was an amazing friendship based on music to start with, and I remember sitting in the car just off of Hyde Park listening to a cassette of ‘Wake Me Up Before You Go Go’ and I said, ‘George, that’s the nearest record I’ve heard to a Motown record for years and years.’ It was such a great record, and he and I became great friends. I just want to remember him for his wonderful music and his kindness, which people are commenting on.” Copyright(c) 2017 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
