George Michael To Tour US

George Michael is to tour the US for the first time in 17 years.

It will kick off on June 17 at San Diego Sports Arena.

The 22-date arena trek runs through August 3 at the BankAtlantic Center in Fort Lauderdale.

Tickets for the 25 Live tour go on sale to the general public on April 6th, a week after fan club members get first dibs.

Ticketmaster currently lists one show, the July 7 gig at Saint Paul, MN., where the top price is $175.

The European leg of his 25 Live tour took him to 12 countries where he performed 80 shows for some 1.3 million fans.

The North American tour will promote a double-disc hits set, the second of his career.

Twenty-Five is scheduled for US release on April 1, a decade after he issued the retrospective Ladies & Gentlemen: The Best of George Michael.
