GEORGE MICHAEL - MICHAEL: 'I FEARED I WOULD NEVER TOUR AGAIN'

Superstar singer GEORGE MICHAEL feared he would never tour again after suffering terrible nightmares for over fifteen years at the thought of playing live. The FASTLOVE hitmaker performed his first concert tour in 15 years last year (06) but he had to overcome a fear of going on the road again after it gave him nightmares. He says, "I ended the 80s very afraid to tour again. I was frightened of that level of celebrity. "I was so distressed that I could never imagine going on the road again. "It's not the performance which scares me - going on stage and singing is natural to me. But I had terrible nightmares and it got to the point where I could hardly sleep. In one dream I would be on stage and discover the band had forgotten to rehearse the songs. In another, I was up there semi-naked. "It was very nerve-wracking."
